    Has anyone ever installed one of these? My upstairs air conditioner is 15 years ld and I'll be having to replace it within a couple of years. Problem is the old unit is way bigger than current attic access and it is in a horrible spot and there is no ladder to it.

    Well just take a blow torch up there to break it down and burn the whole house down. Insurance $$. Just make sure all peoples and pets are out.

    I have a couple of friends who had the attic stairs collapse on them. Both had their legs broken when they were caught in the steps. I never trust mine. I pull down the door and use a step ladder to get up in my attic

    If your upstairs air conditioner is old than its necessary to renovate it or buy new one. Use of step ladder to get up in attic is best option.
