HVAC Issues

[Belinda R.]

Back in November I needed some electrical work done on a home. I searched online and found a company with great reviews. The electrician came out to fix the problem then said he wanted to do a safety inspection for free. No problem. After the inspection, he comes back to say that the wrong AMP is installed and he needs to install a 50 AMP instead of the 40AMP installed. I said ok.  When spring time comes I tried using the AC no luck. Called the HVAC technician out and he says a serious power surge must have taken place because the capacitor literally exploded. Now, I'm looking at replacing the entire unit at a cost of $4500. The HVAC technician told me that the 50 AMP breaker installed was incorrect bc the unit specially calls for a 40 AMP! Could this 50 AMP breaker have possibly blown my unit? Any experts out there? Im waiting for a manager to call me back bc I feel the need to file a claim/complaint.
