Paid premium for Mitsubishi Electric AC, terrible experience. Need advice
It’s a long post and have used chatgpt to structure my thoughts (rant).
Bought a brand new Mitsubishi Electric 1.9 Ton 5 Star AC (MSY-GR22VF) from Vijay Sales in March 2026 and my experience has honestly been terrible so far. Need advice on what should be done next.
Timeline:
- Purchased from Vijay Sales Mehrauli-Gurgaon on 26 March 2026
- Delivered on 8 April
- Installed on 10 April by Mitsubishi (EON Enterprises technicians)
During installation itself I noticed dents on the outdoor unit. The technicians casually said this is “normal during delivery” and won’t affect anything.
Then came the bigger issue — vacuuming.
The installation guys initially refused to use a vacuum pump and kept insisting that “self vacuuming” for 2–3 minutes is enough and “nobody asks for proper vacuuming.” I had to argue repeatedly and tell them Mitsubishi SOP recommends proper vacuuming before commissioning. Only after a lot of discussion did they arrange a vacuum pump, and even then they vacuumed for barely around 5 minutes.
Within days, the outdoor unit started making a loud abnormal “helicopter-like” noise.
I registered a complaint on 18 April. Then the service experience became even worse:
Technician called on 19 April. I requested visit on 21 April because I wasn’t available on 19th/20th. Same day, complaint got cancelled without my consent saying: “Appointment More Than 7 Days From Call Registration Date”. I never asked for cancellation
On 21 April I again contacted Mitsubishi customer care, but they said their system was down and promised a callback. Nobody called back.
After waiting I filled a complaint on 25 April. Technician visited on 26 April and temporarily fixed the noise.
Now since last few days the same outdoor unit noise has returned again. I noticed that the noise is occurring only at high fan speeds.
What should I do at this point?
- Push for outdoor unit replacement?
- Escalate to Mitsubishi senior management?
- Anyone else faced similar issues with Mitsubishi Electric service in India?
Main concerns:
- Improper installation and possibly incomplete vacuuming
- Outdoor unit had dents from day 1
- Recurring outdoor unit noise
- Complaints getting cancelled without consent
- Poor customer support follow-up
- No confidence left in the Mitsubishi service partner (EON Enterprises)
Would really appreciate guidance from people.
