Key Points
Why it matters: 维州政府的能效升级补助(VEU)吸引了大量房东申请,但盲目追求“低自付额”极易陷入劣质安装公司的低价陷阱,导致后续产生高额的 Variation(工程变更费)或面临补助被拒的法务纠纷。
在参与维州政府能效补助将老旧燃气暖气升级为逆变空调(Split System)的过程中,存在严重的低价诱导现象。部分安装公司为了套取更多政府依据功率发放的补贴,倾向于为房东配置远超实际房间面积所需的超大功率系统(如22kw室外机),此类方案极易因“功率与面积严重不符”被政府审计并拒绝补助。此外,市场低价方案往往在合同中埋下伏笔,施工时会以电路升级、现场环境复杂为由加收高额的Variation。正常房间配置2.5kw、客厅配置7.5kw左右即可满足需求,房东在签约前必须核实全包条款,切忌贪图便宜。
