I went to a hardware store and contracted Alaskan Home Services through them. I thought that it was a great deal. They said they would come by to take care of the old unit and swamp cooler and give me a brand new unit for only $13,000--a super deal. The guy said that he would be over to my house between 8-9 AM on Monday. Understand, we just bought a house, have no furniture there and we don't live there. The guy didn't show up until 1pm in the afternoon.. The guys asked where the old unit was and I told them it was in the attic. They asked how to access the attic and they had to rip out the old staircase in the garage because they said it wouldn't fit. They stayed later in the afternoon banging away in the attic until they finally ripped out the old unit. At 9pm they were still working on it. When the guys finally left, we couldn't go back to our old house because it was an hour's drive away. We decided to spend the night in our house. The next day, there was a flood in the living room. I got a feeling that there was sheet rock up in the attic that was wet and dripping down. Finally, the guys showed up and said that the pan up there didn't take care of the condensation. They didn't give me a new pan, they just left the old, rusty one in the attic and said that they would take care of it. It cost $800 to fix the ceiling. I complained and the company said that they would take care of it. It took several months until I got it working. Six months later, I got a bill for $1,500 interest payment, even though Alaskan had told me that I had 24 months to pay the bill. Then they said that I had an $1,000 rebate, but I couldn't get it. Fortunately, the new manager straightened it out. It took 6-8 months until the unit got in great shape after the two new guys came in and fixed it and put in a new pan. The new manager made it right. I have two units in my house because it's a big house and the manager said that he could take care of it. I declined.
