What type of attorney do I need?

What type of attorney do I need to sue a heating and air conditioning company for defrauding me?

  • I had a Heating and Air company come out last December to check on my furnance. They said I needed a new one and we agreed to purchase one. They butchered the install badly and have now installed it three more times and it still has too high of a temp rise and it's noisy. We had another company in to look at it and they said that our duct work is too small for the furnance they installed. Now they want to put holes in our floor hoping that will fix it. We have regsiters in the walls now. I'm tired of dealing with them. The other companies said they would have told me I had to replace my ducting before they would have sold me a new furnace. If I had been told that initially, I would have chosen to repair my old furnace. It's been almost 90 days. I just don't know what type of attorney to contact. Thanks,

  • Answer:

    You were defrauded by a company and you should have by now all the information as well as documentation to prove it. Call the city inspector in your community and find out what recourse you have toward a lawsuit also if you live in a city most cities have a department for this problem in the case of contractors doing this. Also contact the attorney general of your state, the reason is you want all these entities on your side when and if you need to contact a attorney because they can inspect and help present your claim as well as maybe you can find out the name of the contractor owner have have a "lien" against his home until he pays damages to your home caused by his companies bad workmanship. You have your work cutout but you sound tough so get going, and good luck to you.

Contact your local better business bureau first. They can often make things happen without legal action.

A Civil Attorney is the one to contact if you feel you need an attorney. You can actually file this yourself and represent yourself in small claims court. I am not sure what state you are in but in Texas our HVAC companies are goverened by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. See if there is a Licensing Dept in your state to file a complaint against this company. They will do an investigation to see if wrong doing was done and could make them make things right.

You go down to small claims and file a case against them if within the limits of small claims. If outside that limit then you might still file the case there because an Atty to fight a civil case will cost anything else you might recover. In addition remember they WILL get compensation for work they did that is usable to you.
