"I’m sharing this publicly because I have been misled, overcharged, and repeatedly ignored by Aksarben, and after giving them every opportunity to make things right. What started as a simple routine service call under my HSP membership turned into a high-pressure sales situation. Shortly after the technician visit, a salesperson arrived and quoted me nearly $20,000 for what was described as a “top-of-the-line” system — including $2,400 for a new water heater, supposedly with HSP discounts. During the signing, the salesperson instructed me to rush through the “quality control” call and falsely confirm I had reviewed multiple system options. I was only given one option, with no effort made to provide alternatives. I have also since requested a copy of the QA recording and been completely ignored. After installation, I discovered they had left my 1990s humidifier connected to this brand-new system. I was never told this would not be replaced and was later informed I’d need to pay another $784 (and at different times $500 and $1,500) to fix it. These inconsistent and shifting quotes are deceptive. After consulting multiple licensed HVAC professionals, I confirmed the total price was $6,000–$7,000 higher than comparable systems. The equipment sold to me is not top-of-the-line by any reasonable standard. I requested an itemized breakdown of costs and have been ignored entirely. To make matters worse, the system failed inspection by MUD utilities and was declared unsafe, leaving my home without gas service, hot water, or laundry for days. Aksarben refused to honor its own 24-hour comfort guarantee and has not issued the promised $555 compensation. When I attempted to cancel the purchase within the 10-day window, both the salesperson and sales manager were “unavailable,” and I was promised callbacks that never came. Multiple texts, emails and phone calls have gone unanswered. I’ve asked for the following reasonable resolutions multiple times: 1. A partial refund reflecting the excessive overcharges. 2. Replacement of the outdated humidifier at no additional cost. 3. The $555 compensation for the failed 24-hour guarantee. Instead, I’ve received only silence and dismissive responses. At this point, I am formally filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office, and other consumer protection agencies, and I am exploring legal action. This post is not an invitation for further discussion with Aksarben — it is a public statement of accountability. Homeowners deserve transparency, honesty, and respect, and my goal is to make others aware of how this company conducts business."

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts

A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.

It is generally safe to stay in a house with sewer gas for a short time, even though short-term exposure is unpleasant. However, prolonged inhalation can cause headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of methane—which is in sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. Ventilate the area and call a pro if you smell sewer gas or experience related health symptoms.

If you have the necessary skills, you can attempt DIY plumbing installation for simple systems, but professional installation is recommended for complex systems to comply with codes and ensure safety.

Repairing an underground water leak is not easy, and it’s likely not a job for DIYers. To prevent further damage, underground water leaks require the skills of a trained plumber. Underground pipe repairs usually involve digging a trench, repairing or replacing the pipe, and then filling the trench back up. However, some contractors use trenchless repair methods to protect your lawn from looking like a battlefield.

Yes, you can have a toilet without a septic tank. However, it will have to be a composting toilet. Composting toilets work similarly to aerobic septic systems in that the waste, which sits in a separate compartment below the toilet itself, is slowly broken down by aerobic bacteria. These toilets typically have a vent to get rid of harmful gasses with a fan, which requires a battery. You will have to dispose of waste in the toilet manually every three weeks to every three months, depending on how many people are using the toilet.
