I'm not sure what your complaint is. Do the units work? Is the house being cooled? You complaining because of oversized units? Is the claim that there is some excess cost you have incurred as a result? If so, you will need to hire an expert who will be able to demonstrate the difference in the cooling capacity of the proper size compressor and the size compression that you have, the cost of each payment of loss you have suffered as a result of the oversized compressors being utilized.
