Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 24, 2014 1:03 pm I am building a new home. I did not install AC through builder. I found my own AC contractor. Today, my AC contractor called me. The copper pipe was cut and stolen from site. I need pay the extra repair work. I have checked the contract with AC company. There is no clause about the insurance or stolen. My question is: Do I need pay for that? I think AC company should have insurance for their work. But I could not find any info to support my guess. Any suggestions? thanks Re: air conditioner copper pipe was stolen. 3Apr 24, 2014 2:20 pm JB1 When were the pipes installed? 3 weeks ago. Now waiting for gyprock done.
