Ilm a home owner and hired a HVAC contractor to replace our aging heat pumps. The invoice had what woucl amount to contract terms incluing a completion date in mid Novemeber. It was silent as to canellation. He started to delay in Dec 2020 by stating he had the equipment in his covered trailer but thought he had Covid-19. Tests showed he did not have Covid-19. For the next 6 months he continued to have medical issues and said he could not perform. For the most we were sympathic and continued to ask him to give a completion date. He gave us dates then at the last minute cancelled. In June he final didn't show because he worked late the night before and was tired. We stopped being sympathic and continued to ask for an install date. Finally in June, he stated he had secondary exposure to Covid-19 and self quarenteed, then stated that installing our system was a priority. We acknowledege reciept of the notice. In Mid-August our system crashed. We sent a text ending the contract, mentioning our system crashed and requested a refund with in 15 days. We left the ball in his court while we contacted other HVAC contracts. With in a week one was able to install the system and we contracted with them to do the job. No deposite was required and we got financing. Now what do we need to do to recoup our deposit and not be held in breach of contract? Will he able to get a mechanics lean?
