Hi,
I had an HVAC contractor install a heat pump in my home. he said he would install the heatpump but I need an electrical upgrade ( from 60 amp to 200 amp service) He installed the heat pump and I payed him for that portion of the job and he said he would send an electrician out to do the job in a few days and I would pay an additional 1,500.00 for the electrical work when it was completed. he said the upgrade would take 2-3 days and to not use my heatpump,oven,ordryer all at once I would be ok. Well , the electrician cam out and did everything but have the power company come out and run a new line from the pole and the electrician was to tie into my new 200 amp circuit box. He hasn't returned and today makes six months since he was here.
I have called the contractor who did the heatpump like six times and each time he says he will have the guy get out here and finish. This is been a real burden and I am my wits end. I was wondering if I call in my own electrican and have him get this squared away do I still owe the original electrician the pull price or any moneyt at all since he has caused not to be able to run my dryer,stove,etc,,,,, with shutting off the A/C?
Im not trying to stiff the guy and not pay him, but he absolutley will not cpme finish the job......
Thanks for any help.
