I gave in to the builder after basically being told they would not give us a refund or move the air con points for us... i was just so over it all and wanted to sign off on the house so we could get rid of the builder! Anyways... i had sent an email to Consumer Affairs explaining the situation a few days before signing off on the house, i never heard back from Consumer Affairs until the morning after signing off... i was very happy with what they told me...i was doing cartwheels... they said that as the builder didn't have the courtesy to inform us that the vent was unable to be placed above the staircase and as they went ahead and installed it elsewhere without our permission we would are entitled to a refund as well as the builder having to bear the cost of the removal of the extra point and relocate the other point back into the master bedroom as we had sacrafised 1 point from the master to be placed above the staircase.... they even said that if they refused to do the right thing we could take this further and obviously end up in court... well, i picked up the phone, called the builder and told them of what i had been told... Gosh it is amazing how quickly the manager started umming and humming...lol.... well he aparently needed to speak to his own manager about the situation... well to cut the rest short, they ended up agreeing to give us a refund but did not want to pay for the relocation/removal costs... in the end to avoid further stress for myself and my husband and as my main aim was to get the money back we ended up accepting this outcome. To all of you who are having problems with your builder, please don't give up, i nearly did in this situation until receiving that call back from Consumer Affairs... do your research before signing anything, always question the builder and never give up on what you think is right, even when someone like a builder tells you that you are wrong!!!!! Thanks for all the advise guys... How do you remove one of these ceiling air con vents? And is it possible to disconnect the duct joined to the vent from inside the house, without going into the roof cavity? 0 5933 Hi all, sorting out the ducted air con for a 350sqm double story house.
