class="MsoNormal">The following is a letter I sent out to General Contractors in April that offers a simple way for them to ensure their HVAC subs perform fully on their contracts.</p><p
class="MsoNormal"><p
class="MsoNormal">Dear Building Contractor:</p><p
class="MsoNormal">Avoid costly litigation with HVACR subcontractors by hiring me, John Rocheleau, to inspect your sub’s work… <strong><em>before</em></strong> you pay his final invoice. For only $199, I can give you a ‘performance insurance policy’ by exposing the truth about the design, contract document, and system installation down to the last detail, if necessary.<span
id="more-25"></span></p><p
class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></p><p
class="MsoNormal">I’ve been involved in nearly every aspect of heating, ventilation/exhaust, air conditioning and refrigeration for 28 years &#8211; the last 20 self-employed as a designer, installer, service technician, consultant, successful inventor of heating components, and expert witness in New Hampshire Superior Court.</p><p
class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></p><p
class="MsoNormal">My analysis and testimony in a recent case cost nearly $4,000, and my client won a $200,000 judgment. As you know, litigation is expensive, and the aforementioned suit could have been avoided had the builder hired someone to expose the system defects <strong><em>before</em></strong> the HVAC sub got his final payment.</p><p
class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></p><p
class="MsoBodyText2"><span
style="font-style: normal">Once you’ve made the final payment without a prior inspection by an expert, you’ve lost the leverage you once had to guarantee performance by your sub</span>.</p><p
class="divetext" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span
style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></span></p><p
class="MsoNormal">If the design and/or installation are flawed, increased service and operation cost will be the rule. Don’t subject your reputation to this, or needlessly spend time <em>putting out fires</em>, because of an inattentive subcontractor!</p><p
class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></p><p
class="MsoNormal">Also, include my inspection while selling jobs to prospective clients, as a competitive advantage.</p><p
