Asked on Dec 7, 2022

What type of attorney would I hire for a problem with a HVAC contractor that installed the wrong size of equipment.

I hired a HVAC company to install a new heating and cooling system to replace existing units. The problem is they installed undersized units

Dean F.

Answered Dec 9, 2022

A civil litigation attorney can help you resolve a dispute with an HVAC contractor. They typically will help you try to resolve the issue prior to filing suit. And if that does not resolve it, they are experienced in litigating matters in court.
