Which again, is why the landscaper's insurance didn't pay for it. You are absolutely NOT liable in any way. You cannot stop him from suing you if he gets that stupid, but he won't win. He is hoping that you will be stupid enough to pay him.He told me because the system is 18 years old, it was "recomended" by the HVAC company that the inside air handler be replaced as well. I'm a fireman and work with a guy that has an AC business, and he said it would not be a requirement. Recommended sure, but not required.
You're right again. Pedantically, no. ("likely" wouldn't bar) But, right in general.Upon further reflection, I am also going to take exception to this statement. Any release that the neighbor gave to the OP's landscaper likely wouldn't bar a successful suit by the neighbor against the OP. It would simply be a release in favor of the landscaper...
actually it would be required to replace the indoor coil when replacing the outdoor condenser, the old unit would be an r22 unit. which it became illegal to manufacture r22 units 5-6 yrs ago, the new condenser will be a r410 a unit not compatable with the existing r22 coil, , so the neighbor had to pay the additional $ to upgrade to a compatable indoor unit..He told me because the system is 18 years old, it was "recomended" by the HVAC company that the inside air handler be replaced as well.

r22 is not illegal, it is being phased out and refrigerant is becoming high cost (over 100/lb for residential) You can still find condensing units all day R22 and you condensing unit can see be manufactured for R22. You have a few more years before it becomes illegalactually it would be required to replace the indoor coil when replacing the outdoor condenser, the old unit would be an r22 unit. which it became illegal to manufacture r22 units 5-6 yrs ago, the new condenser will be a r410 a unit not compatable with the existing r22 coil, , so the neighbor had to pay the additional $ to upgrade to a compatable indoor unit..
actually a hell of a deal for them getting a BRAND NEW central air system for $1500
that is interesting because I am in charge of commercial retail HVAC/R and I have spent millions on R22 units this year,well, im in hvac and and we cant get any r22 units here.. even the "dry" r22 units aren't available anymore,
and your statement on the mfg of the r22 units is wrong.. they are no longer made due to the govt mandated phase out of r22 and equipment. aka the montreal protocall
