"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 Replacement of the outdated humidifier at no additional cost. 3.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."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.

Construction typically takes 1-3 weeks, depending on the project’s scope and customization.

The requirement for building permits varies by location, but most building departments will require permits for any changes to the structural components of a home. They’ll also require them for changes to the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, as well as any permanent improvements to the land, including concrete patios or foundations for additions or outbuildings. You also might need permits for things like roof replacement and window replacement, depending on your local government.

No, builders and general contractors don’t expect tips. In fact, some companies may prohibit their employees from accepting client tips. If you want to show gratitude for a job well done, consider writing a review of your builder or contractor or agreeing to be a reference for potential new customers.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
