Letting Things Get Too Cold

[@inukoko2012]

Now when the plaintiff doesn’t give the defendant a chance to fix the problem JM has a problem w/ that but when the plaintiff does give the defendant a chance to fix the problem JM says he should have gotten another AC person to fix it. You can’t win for losing.😩😩

This judge is so full of it her eyes are brown. What she dishes out is not any kind of Justice. She doesn’t know the meaning of the word. She needs to go back to law school and actually graduate

[@RueM-lf3xm]

You misunderstand. Yes, you should give them a chance to fix it. But when they aren’t responding and your electric bill is climbing and climbing, at some point common sense says to mitigate your damages. There’s another case with a roof that’s the same premise of the contractor not responding. The difference is they had it fixed when he wouldn’t respond, just like this guy should’ve, and THEN took him to court to pay for the fix that should’ve been done.

[@sthiggs79]

​@RueM-lf3xm Yes, its called mitigating your damages, which the plaintiff has a responsibility to do. However, he did have enough evidence to render a verdict in his favor, considering the increase started on the day they tampered with the unit. However, what sealed his fate was the testimony from the alternate technician who stated that he didnt see anything wrong. What would have been just was for the judge to award damages for half of the bill. The defendant should have done his due diligence in thoroughly checking the unit. He also stated that he couldn't access the top of the unit, but the other technician was able to do so without issue. He may not have damaged the unit, but he certainly did not go through all the necessary steps to ensure a properly working ac unit.

[@missy67]

I was hoping the plaintiff would win, he seemed to be very prepared, and I thought the print out from the electric company was the proof he needed. It's unfortunate that even after the plaintiff communicated ongoing problems, the "experts" didn't check all the possibilities, but just one - the freon. If they had been more thorough, it may not have come to this. It does sound like the defendant gave him some discounts, but I think he should have paid a portion of the bill.

[@paigecammack5445]

I can’t believe she ruled this way 😮 I thought he would win smh

[@trekgirl65]

No one uses freon in Central air/heat. They used to on window AC. But no longer. LMAO! You are behind the times.

[@missy67]

@@trekgirl65 It was a smaller unit inside a closet above a doorway that was hard to get to. The defendant talked about using freon. It may not be a typical central air/heat unit in this particular condo.

[@missy67]

@@DL-ep5uk I understand your point, but the guy does live in Florida, and if there was no ac for 2 weeks it may possibly allow mold to grow because it does dehumidify the house too. (I know this because my central ac died in the middle of summer- had to get a new one which took a couple of weeks - whole house smelled musty despite using window ac units to use temporarily)

I agree. When they went back out there and changed the freon, they should have not have left until they verified that the AC unit would shut off.

Checking the refrigerant should’ve been the top 3 things done. This defendant doesn’t know what he is doing

[@racheldeborde8237]

The defendant stated, 'FPL are not technicians & they just guess & automatically tell customers to check the heat strips.' That said, if the defendant has that knowledge, as he IS a technician, then why didn't he himself check those heat strips when the plaintiff called him multiple times, BEFORE the FPL bill grew to over $600.? Since he ignored the plaintiff's calls for help, and failed to do his 'technician' job, for so long he should bear the added electricity costs.

And with the plaintiff's evidence the judge asked the defendant 'convince me otherwise' I don't think he said anything convincing and yet she found in his favour WHY?...

[@anhingasnakebird9947]

I had the same issue with my AC, also in SFla. We had our AC repaired and it ran constantly but never got cold. We called the repairman back and he immediately figured out that the heat was also running and was able to quickly fix it. This isn’t a hard diagnosis and the defendant is just bad at his job.

[@elvickRULES]

[@onecuet]

I've had a similar issue. I immediately turned off my AC to save electricity. However, the defendant should've noticed on his 2nd visit after installing the motor. The heat was running in tandem with the air. It's a super easy to notice & fix to dismantle the heat strip. However once you dismantle the heat. You'll have to reschedule a return visit to reconnect the heat; or just replace the motherboard to fix the issue all together. I think the AC guy should've paid a small portion. While the large majority was the plaintiffs responsibly.

[@lannym]

When you hire an expert to work on a broken ac/heat system, and he fails to fix the unit, and is contacted multiple times that the unit is still not perfoming properly, then the expert should be held liable for the consequential damages. It's not like the heat strips are some seperate system. I the tech didn't realize it on the initial call, they should have realized it on the call back.

[@wynottgivemore9274]

There should be way more expert witnesses for either side,if they want to win.

[@Geronimo2Fly]

It seems to me that if you're a professional, someone hires you to fix something, you do the repair, and the customer calls you back a day or two later to let you know it's still not working -- that's the point where you do a thorough diagnosis to figure out exactly what is wrong. You don't just keep guessing, replacing one thing after the other. Auto mechanics do this too. "Oh that wasn't it? Okay let's try this then . . .". No, I want you to figure out what is wrong and fix it, not just keep guessing until you finally guess the right thing. Maybe that's impossible? It happens so often though and it's so frustrating, because as the customer, you're dealing with an item that stays broken for a long time.

[@patim5953]

After the Plaintiff notified the defendant it wasn't shutting off he should have been out to find the problem. That dragged out way too long. The defendant is his air conditioner fixer for cripes sake. He wanted it fixed. FL is hot 🥵🔥.

He probably didn't move right on with a second company bc he was trying to get the people he ALREADY paid to fix it to come out and mend the issue.

[@MichaelClaffy]

Another wrong decision. The problem was misdiagnosed from the beginning. An icing evaporator is not due to the motor that was replaced incorrectly. Low refrigerant is caused by a leak. Nothing else. The heat strips were never involved until the unit was repaired. So by logic the repair caused the duplicity if the air-conditioning and heating is operating at the same time. Or it was the original problem in the first place. Although it would not just go away. The judge could afford the implementation of outside experts who can give her the knowledge necessary to make a proper determination. Time to start getting smarter before rendering verdicts.

I don't agree with this judgment. If I heard correctly the defendant stated the motor that he fixed was at the top. Then later it was determined the heat strips were at the top, so he could have possibly damaged something. The only thing the plaintiff should have done, in my opinion, was bring a statement from another a/c person, or one he could have called to refute the defendant's statement, because he could have said anything. The judge or the plaintiff know nothing about how an a/c works or its components.

Hmmm… I dunno I think the plaintiff should have won… it’s not beyond a shadow of the doubt - it’s more likely than not. Fact - power usage was low and not above $110 until they messed with the unit.. this was supported by actual data supplied by the power company. The defendant keeps stringing him along and not answering him so he gets tired of waiting and has FPL take a look who say it’s because of what the defendants company did. Fact the defendant disconnected the heat strips that was causing the issue and another company put them back together and the issue never happened again. I dunno I feel like that’s overwhelming evidence.. it’s not like having an oil leak and your ac stops working or your breaks start to grind, this was supported by actual data and he was still found to not have enough evidence.

[@gamerscorem4staproductions775]

I do HVAC for living and have been for 13 years. The plaintiff should've won this case because that A/C company scammed him. The problem that caused both the cooling and heater to run at the same time is a little $10 relay that is stuck closed causing it to give voltage/call to make the heat strips come on at the same time as the cooling. Normally, that part inside for the heater call of it is normally opened. So when you put your volt meter on the 2 pins that control the heat, you'll check for continuity (see if it makes a circuit), so normally, if the relay is not malfunctioning (aka bad) then when you check it, it won't make a beeping sound. If it was closed (aka bad) it would make a beeping sound. So you just replace that little relay and it will operate like normal. Even if they actually hooked up their guages and see the pressures all acting funny (basically both the suction and liquid side will be pretty much extremely high) then yea something is wrong so a Professional will actually look at if the heat strips are running at the same time. Then if so then just replace that relay and everything will be good and pressures will actually be showing normal operations. I live in SW Louisiana and during the summer time it does get extremely hot and the problem the plaintiff was having is a very common thing with electric air handlers, even brand new systems I put in have the same problems here and there but I fix it in less than 10 minutes. Just watching this video made me pissed off cause that A/C company owner or whomever it is should pay that plaintiff back for everything he paid for cause he got screwed by a scamming company that don't know how to actually fix and work on A/C units. And yea all that money he spent, it was what like $1000 for it all, yea if a professional like myself would've done it, then the bill probably would've been maybe free or maybe $100. I seriously hate A/C companies like that defendant cause they like to screw people over for wrongfully mis diagnosing the problem and not fixing it right the 1st time. And there's a crap ton of those companies like the defendant around my area that likes to screw people over then us professionals have to come after their $hitty work and actually fix the problem correctly.

[@Shaikhofilm]

The issue here is : was the defendant negligent in leaving and not making sure everything was fixed . 3 different things in different places were broken: 1. Evaporator motor , 2. Insufficient Freon for n the compressor , 3. Heater strips staying on. The plaintiff contends that he should have stayed longer and check everything to make sure everything is working. The defendant says , we fixed the main thing we found broken. Call us back if there are other issues. To make things more complicated , the costs to fix on both cases would end up being the same. Additional parts and labor for each fix . Just the issue is the time involved while the ac is running and racking up kWh. This one is a close call on the judgment for who should pay for those kWh. I am inclined to say the plaintiff , because if the defendant never showed up to fix anything, would he be responsible to pay the kWh for not showing up? No.

good verdict . homeowners should be responsible for their own energy bills and not get away with trying to convince a judge that somebody else should pay their utility bills . if u have a problem with your energy bill then call your utility company and work it out with them .

[@assetprotection5389]

The judge was wrong in this one wow

[@bummerdude8467]

The plaintiff shoulda brought expert with him.. cause the defendant lied continually. And plaintiff needed a actual expert to prove otherwise.

She lives here, and pays FPL. She KNOWS HOW they move. The AC did that.m

[@williamwilliams7184]

if he would have called someone else she would have said that he didnt give enough time - even if he was trying to mitigate his losses... like wtf else did he have to bring. you dont have to be an expert to read and come these conclusions ffs

[@elvickRULES]

Plaintiff is a liar and I’m glad he lost. The letter says the A/C MAY NOT be cooling properly, but he reads it as “IS NOT”. Don’t trust people who do that

[@yakyim2114]

I did not like this ruling. he brought all the right things!

[@KydSyster20]

I’m sorry if it’s not turning off and the A/C guy is dodging calls…find another tech…..then sue him…I wouldn’t keep going back to the same guy who can’t resolve the issue.

[@kittyfan]

in theory, it's the correct state. In reality, some states are pro plaintiff, some are pro defendant. If you ever are a person with a beef against a company, try to sue in Mississippi....they almost always find for the plaintiff. (at least that was the way 10 yrs ago)

[@Begotts]

Wrong! I feel that the plaintive should’ve got something back the guy didn’t fix anything he was in the same boat when he left the first time and as an AC guy wouldn’t you check the refrigerant right away? Isn’t that one of the first things they check or isn’t that an easy check?

[@sandra3547]

Now wait a minute First the plaintiff said the AC wasn’t starting bc the condenser froze over.. then he also said that the ac was on but wasn’t cooling Then later he said his issue was that it wouldn’t shut off?? He needs to get his story straight
