In November 2006 a Southern Energy Home was delivered to my land, through Dealer (Competitive Housing, ADBA Better Housing, 512 Fleming Drive Morganton, NC 28655). I immediately started having problems with the home. No hot water and it took Competitive Housing 1 yr. to send a repair person out to replace the heating element? I had a broken window and it took repeated calls, after a year, someone was sent out to replace that. I had an electrical outlet in the kitchen bar which did not work, no response. I found the Carpet all over the house had been nailed down with Roofing Nails? No carpet stripping, they had nailed it around the walls with Roofing Nails, which are there, at this time. A repair person wanted to remove them, however I told him to leave them,(so I could take pictures for action against the dealer and manufacturer. While vacuuming one day, a 3x3 piece of capet was pulled up into the vaccum, it had been pieced. The carpet in the living room was cut too short and is coming up bu threads.  This carpet looks like a blanket which has bunched up all over the floors.  After getting a carpet installer, to come out for an estimate to repair the carpet; I was told "this carpet can not be repaired, it must be replaced".  It seems when carpet strips are placed against the walls, and the carpet in pulled by a carpet installers stretcher, it will no longer line up to the heat vents or door ways.  In addition to this, I have an issue with a drain line in the guest bath, not having the proper fall on the pipes. While watching TV one night, fire flew from the dining room overhead lightening fixture. I called an electrician, who found a naked lead wire, which had to be replaced at a cost of $80.00 plus $169.00 for a new light fixture; which blew out completely. Then the roof started leaking around the kitchen light. After calling Competitive Housing with no response, I called the Manufacturer ( Southern Energy Homes, of Addison Alabama. After talking with a number of people and their sending repair people out, who took pictures, etc. stating all was repaired; I found only the electrical outlet on the kitchen bar had truely been FIXED. Southern Energy Homes had a repair person at this home on October 31, 2008 --Rena Benfield (talk) 23:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
