the warranty service was only to replace the furnace and thermostat. They had to come back because they installed the furnace wrong. Now trying to bill us for their mistake.

Well, if you don't pay for it, you risk getting a lien placed on your house. in which case the debt will be paid sooner or later. If this was warranty service, what are they charging for?

all they came and so called fixed was a hole they made in the unit they replaced by putting tape over the hole... thats what I am being charged for right now for them putting tape on a part that was supposedly detached by them knocking it off while they installed the unit... the NEW unit didt work the next day so I called them and told them whats wrong and this is what happened when they got there...

If he does send you a bill, forward the bill along with a certified letter to the builder who built your house and provides the new home warranty, requesting that the builder pay the bill. Follow up with phone calls, since builders like to file and ignore paperwork.
The builder should either pay the bill or make the A/C contractor hold up their end of the warranty agreement. Either way, you shouldn't have to pay the bill.
