Are you guys making honest money? This might not be the first time my
family was victimized by the air conditioning trade. In the summer of
2004, I was on business trip in Arizona, my wife in India doing
research. Our teenager daughter was home by herself. The air
conditioner suddenly did not work. It was the summer of Florida. She
called a repair company. They said the unit had to be replaced. It
was impossible to repair. The new machine was a Rudd Achiever
Series. The model number was UPKB-048JAZ. We paid more than $2000
for it. Our house was built in 1997 complete new. How come the unit
broke in such a short time, and couldn't be repaired? Of course, only
you guys know. Don't remember name of the old machine.
