More details to this question:
1 of 2 HVAC systems went wrong after year & half in my new home. Then, compressor failed within 4 years. Original installer charged $687,27 to replace a in line expansion valve. $2768 for compressor replacement. No warranty cover because resident must register their HVAC warranty on the day moved in. Do I have a chance to win a court case?
Most likely there is no chance of recovery because of failure to register for the manufacturer warranty as you describe. This is something that requires a personal consultation with an attorney to review the paperwork. An attorney should charge no more than a couple hundred dollars for the review and advice. If there is a claim, it may be difficult to find an attorney who will take this on a contingency fee (only pay if you win type of fee). These kind of cases are very labor intensive for the attorney if you have to sue for breach of warranty or product defect.
This is general legal advice only. You do not have an attorney-client relationship with Attorney Lynn E. Coleman without a signed retainer agreement and payment of any applicable fees.
