Landscapers ruin ac pipe

I am so mad I could spit, the landscaping company that our housing development uses mowed over our air conditioner system line, then of course, the like broke and all of our refrigerant escaped; So the air conditioner system is not toiling, but i did not know this until I got lake condo from labor and noticed that the condo was absolutely sizzling and sizzling air was coming out of the ducts.

I went outside to see if I could find the reason why.

I was not entirely expecting to be able to see the problem, because I’m not a qualified Heating as well as A/C business, then however, I could actually see a sizable gash in the pipe leading from the compressor to the house. This month was law mowing day so it had to have been the lawn mowers. I called up the landscaping company to complain but they said it wasn’t them, and who else could it have been? This mark was either made by a lawn mower blade or else someone intentionally attacked our Heating as well as A/C system with an axe; My currency is on it being a lawnmower blade. I left a message for the housing manager too however I doubt that I will hear back until tomorrow. I can’t wait until then to get our Heating as well as A/C system fixed so I called up our respected Heating as well as A/C maintenance guys. They were able to come out that night and update the broken pipe and then refill the refrigerant, however an emergency visit like this was not cheap, but you can bet that I am holding onto the maintenance bill and that I intend to make the landscaping company spend money for it.
