STEPHANIE WALTERS
272 S. West Street
Carlisle, PA 17013
Plaintiff/Appellee
vs.
MICHAEL W. STITZEL
91 Cranes Gap Road
Carlisle, PA 17013
Defendant/Appellant
IN THE COURT OF COMMON
PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY,
PENNSYLVANIA
CASE #11-5937 CIVIL
COMPLAINT
1. Plaintiff, Stephanie Walters, is an adult individual residing at 272 S. West Street, Carlisle,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
2. Defendant, Michael W. Stitzel, is an adult individual doing business as Stitzels All Mechanical,
with a place of business located at 91 Crane Gap Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
17013.
3. On or about January 20, 2011, Plaintiff and Defendant entered into an oral agreement for the
installation of a heating and air conditioning unit in Plaintiffs residence.
4. As a result of this agreement, the Defendant installed a unit on or about February 9, 2011, which
unit never worked properly.
5. When Plaintiff turned on the unit the day it was initially installed, there was smoke and a burning
smell.
6. As a result of the failure of the installed unit, Plaintiff called Defendant for service. Defendant
was unable to fix the problem.
7. Because Defendant was not able to repair the incorrectly installed unit, Plaintiff called a different
HVAC contractor and plumber to come diagnose and repair the unit that Defendant had installed,
which such service was provided.
8. Plaintiff spent $504.75 to try to get the unit installed by Defendant to operate correctly. Invoices
for the services provided are attached as Exhibit A.
9. Eventually, Plaintiff gave up on trying to get the unit installed by Defendant to operate correctly
and had the unit removed and replaced by another HVAC contractor at a cost of $6,734.68.
10. Defendant's work at Plaintiff's residence was performed in a poor, improper, and
unworkmanlike manner which was by necessary implication required to be done and performed in a
proper and workmanlike manner, as follows: (a) the unit installed by Defendant was grossly over-
sized for the residence, causing significant extra electric cost of operation; (b) as a result of the
incorrect size, the unit would cycle too fast and incompletely heat the property; and (c) the installed
unit caused fire and smoke damage throughout the residence.
11. Prior to the removal of the unit and installation of a correctly sized unit, Plaintiff offered
Defendant the opportunity to cure the aforesaid breach of the implied warranty of merchantability
and fitness for a particular purpose, but Defendant failed and refused to repair the unit.
12. Plaintiff offered Defendant the opportunity to retake possession of the removed unit in order to
mitigate Defendant's damages, but Defendant has failed and refused, and still refuses, to take
possession of the removed unit.
13. The reasonable cost of remedying the aforesaid breaches of failure to repair is in the amount of
$504.75. Copies of the invoices are attached as Exhibit A.
14. The reasonable cost of installing a properly-sized unit to provide cooling to the residence is in
the amount of $6,734.68. Copies of the invoices for the new unit are attached as Exhibit B.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff demands judgment against defendant in the amount of $7,239.43, plus
interest and delay damages and costs of suit.
