QATAR COOL WINS INTERNATIONAL AWARDS !!!!

Gulf Times 13 Sep 09 - Qatar Cool wins 2 prestigious internation awards from the International District Energy Association (IDEA) in the USA!!!

Obviously the Americans are blissfully unaware of the massive bad feeling directed to Qatar Cool by its current and near future customers, particularly those of us approaching Pearl Residency.

Nobody has informed IDEA of Qatar Cools massive increase in connection fees - at least US$ 14000 for a non UDC small apartment, increasing to US$ 40000 or more for a 3 bed apartment. Or approx monthly consumption charge of US$ 275. Or an annual fee of approx US$ 2000. Or that Qatar Cool are playing hard ball with the Developers - taking huge advantage of their monopoly status - resulting in even more delays to an already hugely delayed Pearl project. Or that if you visit higher level apartments in the completed and connected UDC towers and Zig Zag, you will find appauling condensation and poor cool air flow suggesting that Qatar Cool are unable to provide sufficient cold water to air condition even the tiny proportion of completed towers. God help us all next summer if there are a dozen or so occupied towers!

So Qatar Cool gets the awards - just imagine how bad the other district cooling providers around the world are!!
Count yourselves lucky that you have bought on the Pearl and we have one of the best cooling providers keeping the 50C summer heat away!

Check out IDEAs website. How about sending them a few hundred emails informing them how impressed Qatar Cools customers are?

I know they are only a trade association but hey you never know!

I was going to buy a property on the pearl till I looked deeper in to who was behind all these developers and exclusive service providers. It was obvious the buyers would be taken advantage off.We are now so relieved that we did not

Dear Mr Skint

I'm also a very unfortunate soon to be living on the Pearl home owner. It was the biggest mistake i've made in my life to purchase a property there.

A few of us have been looking into all the rediculous charges of QC, UDC and the other developers for a while now. To have QC connected to my apartment is going to cost me 100 000 QAR and then i have to pay 1 5000 ++ QAR a month to have my apartment cooled. What a rip off!! I would NEVER have bought had i been told of these insane fees.

Qatar Cool deserves one award and one award only and that will be : " The award for screwing people ower". I hate them and every single lie they tell on a daily basis.

I haven't given up the fight yet and will continue to do so untill they start charging normal fees. A friend of mine bought in Dubai and they also have a cooling plant. She only had to pay 4000 QAR deposit and then her monly fees are maximum 500 QAR. How dare QC think it is o.k what they are doing!!

Business is all about being the best crook. And that's what they are. So, they deserve the prize.
