“The underground economy is a problem”he assures Peter Canadasmanager of Guild of Installers of Girona. “In our sector it is very normalized”, he adds. And it is that, as Cañadas relates, the activity without declaring to the Treasury within the sector is nothing new: in fact, he explains that he does not consider that it has been aggravated in recent years in the demarcation of Girona. However, it has been persistent over time and is a problem that the union has been dragging “for a long time”.
“Many times we have complained to the administration what we call the white vans. they are vans that have no signs, that are at the doors of the large supermarkets and shops and that, when they see someone coming out with an air conditioner or some other product, they offer to install one reduced price», explains the manager of the Guild.
Problems for the customer
This problem does not only affect the professionals of the sector. Consumers, although in most cases they can save money when doing the installation, they can suffer a series of problems, remember from the Guild of Installers of Girona. “It must be remembered that if these people are hired who work without declaring, the user does not have bill and therefore does not have guarantee», explains Cañadas. “Also, all these facilities always have their own risks and dangers“, add.
Within these dangers or risks can be found of two types. On the one hand, that these facilities, which need certain knowledgesdo not work properly and sense warranty the investment is lost. On the other hand, there is consequences which are not only economical, since a poorly done installation can lead to an accident. “Sometimes flats catch fire because the facilities are dangerous, are overloaded. I don’t want to say that all accidents are due to badly made installations, but badly made installations can produce accidents, yes”, says Cañadas. For this reason, from the Guild of Installers they claim measures to the administration and ask that the customers be conscious of the dangers “The installers have theirs notebook and if as a customer you are not sure, you can ask to see it», he concludes.
