A plumbing problem started this dispute. But NBC Bay Area Responds helped flush it all out for a Santa Clara woman.

The central question here is: who pays when an emergency repair is needed?

Liz Gong told us that a shower knob fell apart while renting a house in South Lake Tahoe. The homeowner (a.k.a. host) hired a plumber to fix it.

And later charged Liz $180.

“I told the host that I did not agree with that and that it was their responsibility to keep their rental home in working order.”

Gong disputed the bill with Airbnb and got nowhere.

So, she contacted us. And we reached out to Airbnb for her.

An Airbnb spokesman said Liz’s initial complaint “wasn’t handled by the right team.”

Ultimately, Airbnb agreed with liz – that the plumbing flaw wasn’t her responsibility.

It refunded her stay in full — plus the money she was charged for the plumber.

That’s $1,786 back in her pocket.

“This guest is getting a full refund, just as she should have in the first place,” Airbnb said in a statement. “We have your back in the very unusual event that a problem occurs.”

Liz is pleased with the refund, but frustrated with the process.

“An apology and a refund does not overlook the fact that I had to get NBC involved for them to review the case,” she wrote. “They probably would NOT have done anything further had I not contacted your team.”

One last note: Liz says she submitted a negative review that was later taken down.

Airbnb told us that was a mistake, too. Liz’s frank appraisal of the Tahoe home will be re-posted for future renters to consider.

Dublin, December 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Added the Global HVAC Equipment Market (2021 Edition) report to ResearchAndMarkets.com to offer.

The global HVAC equipment market was valued at $ 84.65 billion in 2020.

The global HVAC equipment market is experiencing lucrative growth due to the use of natural refrigerants such as CO2, coupled with increasing efforts by various governments around the world to promote energy efficient products is expected to drive the market.

Major factors driving the HVAC equipment market include the growth of new households, increasing average construction spending, increasing government spending on sustainable building development, rapid urbanization, and growth in disposable income in multiple economies.

The APAC region had the largest share of the global HVAC equipment market. Climate is a major factor that will drive demand for HVAC products in the APAC region.

Countries like Australia experience extreme climatic conditions. Countries in Southeast Asia like Thailand and Malaysia are known for their wet and humid climates. The population in the Asia-Pacific region is looking for energy-efficient air conditioning systems to compensate for hot and extreme weather conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic is restricting the supply of HVAC equipment and other control components due to serious disruptions in the global supply chain. Therefore, the expected growth of the HVAC controls market in several application segments is expected to decline. With social distancing the primary way to contain the spread of the disease, many HVAC companies are being forced to either close temporarily, lay off employees, or switch to remote operations.

Cooling systems are mainly used in summer to maintain the comfort of an enclosed space by regulating the warm air through the supply of conditioned air. Cooling units have been divided into room air conditioners, split AC, single air conditioners, VRF systems, chillers, chillers and cooling towers.

The story goes on

HVAC systems provide the residents of a building or room with thermal comfort, accompanied by indoor air quality. HVAC systems used for residential purposes maintain a constant temperature, provide varying levels of humidity, and improve air quality.

These systems can be divided into local or central systems according to zones, locations and air distributions. In addition, increasing urbanization has resulted in increased adoption of residential HVAC systems
