Why is air conditioning installation profiteering?

I think the statement that air conditioning installation is profiteering is a serious misunderstanding and a one-sided perspective for laymen to look at professionals. I will talk about my views on this issue next.

Several forms of general contracting service for air conditioning installation

In this case, there are turnkey and turnkey installation materials. Among them, the overall package of the company means that the owner gives the money to the company, and finally all the problems are solved by the company, including the accidents in the installation process.

The installation master is engaged in air conditioning installation in the company. Daily wages are settled by piece rate plus basic salary. The basic salary is generally similar to the average salary in Chengdu. In other words, wages are almost paid by piece and paid monthly. Does it feel fair?

In fact, the installation master is usually installed by one person or two people on the construction site. Summer is the peak season of air conditioning, and the temperature on the construction site is often higher than 30 degrees. Sweating will make you unable to open your eyes. The internal machine is usually carried by a person standing on the herringbone ladder, with the internal machine on his head and the screws on the four sides skillfully fixed with the other hand. The whole internal machine can't be adjusted repeatedly in one go, because the workload determines your income.

In addition, the installation and debugging of the external machine is generally two people, and the installation cost of installing the external machine is higher than that of installing the internal machine. But first of all, it belongs to the category of aerial work, especially in the current house. The position of the outdoor machine is getting smaller and smaller. Sometimes, except for the space of the outdoor machine, one foot can stand at most, and the body is completely balanced by a set of safety ropes. Second, you need to have the strength, and the external machine is at least tens of kilograms. If it is multi-linked, it will be heavier, and people need to lift it in one breath. Third, the environment tortures and tests people. People are dehydrated in summer, and the cold wind is like a knife in winter.

Installation contract system

To put it mildly, it is contracting, and to put it tacky, it is the installation team. Master has his own skills and contacts, installing air conditioners for air-conditioning sales companies or undertaking air-conditioning installation business for some individual users.

Generally speaking, the general contractor for installation includes materials other than air-conditioning machines, including materials and labor for installing air conditioners for users. Everything on the site, no matter what happens, shall be borne by the installation master himself; I don't deny that this situation will earn more than helping the company, but there is no insurance for overtime every day, no guarantee for funds, and I am responsible for my own profits and losses.

All jobs are the same, just want to be free and get a higher salary. But the problem is that the prices of all kinds of materials and machines are transparent, and wages are also in the market. For example, people spend 300-400 yuan a day, but you can't go to 500 yuan. Will anyone offer this price?

In summer, skilled air-conditioning installation workers can earn about 8,000 yuan a month, with an average salary of more than 6,000 yuan at ordinary times, but they work in high temperature and high dust every day. In addition, there are high-risk venues, such as outdoor, and they will be scared to death if they are trampled empty. In addition, it is common to bump into people on the construction site and get covered in blood. Although the company has accident insurance, the pain of flesh and blood is inevitable. For example, many masters almost have scalded scars on the back of their hands and arms, which are left by cutting steel and welding copper pipes.

In addition, there are often some unexpected expenses when installing air conditioners at home. For example, the air conditioner rack charges 100 yuan, the copper tube that is not long enough charges 60- 100 yuan/meter, and the air conditioner holes at home are not available or unqualified, so you have to pay extra.

In addition, in the case that some high-altitude exterior wall seats need to be climbed over with the help of the third fulcrum, and the extra cost is 100 yuan/person, I feel that the installation master overcharged a lot of money, because I saw the installation master earn several hundred yuan in two or three hours, and I didn't see what materials were used. I feel that air conditioning installation is profiteering.

For the above charges, you need to buy the copper pipes on the shelves at the cost price. Ask the person who punches holes separately outside how much it costs. Without 100 yuan, people would not use tools. The only thing without cost is climbing out of the outer wall at high altitude, but that is the cost of courage.

Therefore, it is not easy for air conditioner installers. They fought for strength and that ferocity. Usually they hit the age of 45, and they died after being injured. Such a job, can you still say that air conditioning installation is profiteering? !
