My new air conditioner unit failed.  I&#8217;ve been a customer of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autumnheatingcooling.com\/\">Autumn Heating and Cooling<\/a> since April of 2008.  When I bought the new Air Conditioner unit.  The outside unit (condenser) is a Rudd Ultra with a product id of UANL-042JEZ.  The inside unit (evaporator) has a product id of RFCL-HM4821AC.  That cost me $3311.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI was talked into buying a surge protector on December of 2008 for $129.  In November of 2009, I bought a new gas control valve for $375.  In November of 2010, I renewed my service contract for three years for $97.  In March of 2011, I had a semiyearly checkup.  And then I noticed that my air conditioner was not cooling.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nUnfortunately, I was told that the labor only had a two year warranty.  To replace the evaporator would cost me $800.  I was able to talk them down to $500.  I consulted my my neighbor, who had a relative in the air conditioner business.  He said that it was a good deal.  The labor and freon would cost at least that much.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe only strange thing about the repair process was that they took the evaporator back with them to their store.  Maybe they needed the physical part before they could get a new one to replace it.  But I have no idea if the coil was actually replaced or not.  The could have just patched it without me knowing any differently.  Or substituted it with a refurb unit.  Odd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sigh.
