Business ProfileforChris Bowman Heating, Air Conditioning And Electrical, Inc.

I am contacting you because Chris Bowman is threatening to send our account to collections on 11/15/22. I am unwilling to pay his invoice by then for several reasons (disclosed below). He is using bulling tactics to force us to pay for the work in question. Please read below & advise. Thank you. Interaction w/Chris: We asked Chris to install & hook up a gas line for a new fire pit around our pool. He started work in Sept of '21 knowing he would need to finish the work in the Spring once the fire pit was complete. SEE INTERACTION TIMELINE BELOW. On 5/1/22 we informed Chris we hired someone else to finish the work because he was not responding. The contractor we hired informed us Chris' work was done incorrectly, so he had to fix it. On 8/25/22 Chris sent us a bill for $461 demanding immediate payment. This was 1st time he shared a cost/estimate/contract (attached) to us. We decide we would pay his invoice in $100 installments because demanding immediate payment 10 1/2 months later seems unprofessional. Chris has never cashed or acknowledged our payment. He sent an email 11/7 threatening to send out account to collections if we didn't pay in full by 11/15 cc'ing a lawyer. I responded twice to Chris & his lawyer without any response. We would like to inquire about our legal rights against Chris' threats.
