Southern Oregon - The US~Observer has investigated a case against Gerald “Jerry” Myers and his wife Sheri Myers of 121 Bigham Drive in Central Point, Oregon. They conduct a business registered and promoted as “Grants Pass Heating and Air Conditioning” (GPHA) in southern Oregon.
Jerry Myers (Meyers)We have found that their last name has been spelled both Meyers and Myers and that they have used variations of their registered business name over past years.
Jerry Myers signed a contract dated May 5, 2011, with a Grants Pass, Oregon resident, wherein he agreed to install a new Heat Pump System and replace ducting throughout the residence concerned. The contract states, “We hereby submit specifications and estimates for: ……… Electrical.”
Myers or GPHA installed the new Heat Pump System and upon attempting to start the new unit, there was not enough electricity coming to the residence to start and run the Heat Pump System properly. When the Heat Pump struggled to start it created a loud noise and lights flickered throughout the home. Rather than be honest with his client, Jerry Myers stated - which later would be determined through an expert as a lie to the client - that the new unit “just needed to get broken in.”
Myers or GPHA also failed to remove and replace some of the ducting that he was contracted to replace.
Myers then ran the condensation tube from the air conditioning part of the system into the block wall in the customer’s basement, as opposed to properly running it outside of the home where it could drain properly. This caused the resident’s basement to flood and caused damage to both the structure and contents. Again, it was found that Jerry Myers, representing GPHA, lied about this after the fact!
Note that Jerry Myers or GPHA failed to get a permit for this job prior to finishing it.
Both Jerry and Sheri Myers attempted to blame Pacific Power for the lack of power to run the new Heat Pump System. After listening to repeated lies for almost two years and after Sheri Myers rudely told the resident that they were not going to take care of the “Electrical” problem, the resident was forced to file a lawsuit for “Breach of Contract” and “Negligence” on March 20, 2013.
Myer’s original attorney sent a letter to the resident’s attorney that was full of lies on August 9, 2012, and Myer’s insurance company then allegedly lied to the resident, telling him that Myers wasn’t covered, but that they would agree to pay the resident $5,000.00 if the resident would settle. The resident refused as it cost him $5,260.00 to fix the electrical alone. This didn’t include the costs for the water damage caused by Jerry Myers or GPHA’s “Negligence” or the resident’s attorney fees and other costs.
This case was scheduled for arbitration on October 4, 2013; however, after a one day deposition on September 9, 2013, the insurance company agreed to settle and pay the resident for his damages, which included “pain and suffering.” During the deposition it was discovered that Myers was allegedly involved with past credit card fraud in Connecticut.
The US~Observer would warn anyone who considers doing business with Jerry Myers, Sheri Myers or GPHA. In our opinion, anyone who conducts business with these people would be taking the risk of being lied to and cheated.
The electrical company who subcontracted with Myers to do the electrical work on this job also lied to the resident and he should consider himself very fortunate that we aren’t naming him and his business in this article - He owes the resident an apology. The attorneys who lied to the resident should thank their lucky stars as well. The crooked insurance company, that lied to the resident, would have been exposed if they hadn’t paid for damages. We will file all of their information for a later date if needed.
Editor’s Note: The facts in this “Public Service Warning” are just that – facts. If they weren’t true, then the Myers’ would sue the US~Observer! Be careful readership…
