Most people search for RO installation charges and RO fitting charges after seeing one number — installation ₹499 — and then wondering what the final bill will actually be. The confusion is fair: "installation" and "fittings" are two different things, and some bills mix them without explaining either. This guide separates them clearly: what the ₹499 installation covers, which fittings can cost extra, and how to make sure nothing is added to your bill without your approval.
What the ₹499 Installation Covers
A standard RO installation at Nyasa Enterprise costs ₹499 in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. The standard job covers wall mounting of the purifier, inlet and outlet water connections, basic piping for a standard layout, a first-run water test, a TDS reading of the purified water, and a short usage demo. The technician confirms the scope at your home before starting, so the ₹499 figure is agreed before work begins — not revealed after it. If your site needs anything beyond the standard job, that is quoted separately, before fitting, as the next section explains.
Which Fittings Can Cost Extra
Fittings are the physical parts that connect the purifier to your home: brackets and stands, taps, pipes, valves and connectors. Five situations commonly need extra fittings. One, a wall stand or bracket where the wall cannot take a direct mount. Two, extra piping where the water point is far from the purifier location. Three, an additional tap or a replacement tap. Four, pre-filter housing additions for homes with heavy sediment. Five, pressure-related parts where inlet pressure is too low for the purifier to work properly. None of these has a fixed price on this page, because the right part depends on your site — but every one of them is quoted upfront before fitting, and nothing is added to the bill without your approval. That rule is the whole protection: a fitting you approved at a stated price cannot become a surprise.
Fitting Charges vs Service Charges
People often mix up three different bills. Installation is a one-time job: ₹499. A service visit is maintenance: visit ₹150, domestic service and repair ₹299, filter changes from ₹199. A fitting is a part: quoted per site, before fitting. Keep them separate and every bill stays readable. For reference, the full Nyasa Enterprise price list for Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar is: visit ₹150, service and repair ₹299, installation ₹499, filter changes ₹199 onwards, priority visit ₹399, and AMC plans at ₹1,999, ₹2,999 and ₹3,999 per year.
Low Pressure Homes: What to Check First
If your home has low inlet pressure, do not accept a booster part on assumption. Pressure is tested first: if the test shows the purifier cannot work properly at your pressure, a pressure solution is quoted upfront; if the test shows pressure is adequate, no extra part is needed at all. This is the same diagnosis-before-replacement rule used in repairs — a test decides, not a sales line. Homes on upper floors and homes at the end of a supply line are the ones most often affected, so mention your floor and supply situation when you book.
After Installation: The Final Checks
A finished installation is checked four ways before the technician leaves: flow rate at the tap, taste of the purified water, a TDS reading of inlet and purified water, and every pipe joint inspected for seepage. Leakage at a joint is the most common post-installation complaint, and it is also the easiest to prevent — a joint checked on day one does not drip on day thirty. Ask to see the TDS reading and the joints yourself before the technician leaves; a careful installer welcomes that check.
Shifting Homes? Reinstallation Works the Same Way
If you move homes, your purifier moves with you: uninstallation at the old home, safe handling in transit, reinstallation at the new home, and the same final checks. Reinstallation is quoted upfront like a fresh installation, and any new fittings the new home needs are quoted before fitting. Our RO shifting and uninstallation guide covers the moving-day checklist in detail. The same rule applies: scope agreed first, no surprise additions.
How to Avoid a Surprise Bill
Four habits protect you on any installation. One, get the scope and the price in words before work starts — ₹499 standard, plus named extras with prices. Two, approve every extra fitting before it is fitted. Three, ask to see old parts and new parts where a replacement is claimed. Four, keep the bill: installation work carries a 30-day service warranty, and the bill is how a repeat issue is covered. A technician who explains each line before starting is not wasting your time — that explanation is the service.
