I just purchased a home which listed natural gas as a heating source. Yes, I have a copy of the original listing. When I tried to transfer the gas account into my name, the energy company informed me the gas main doesn't even reach my home.
The home inspector inspects the condition of the property, appliances and heating sources, not which utilities are present. Since there were no issues with the heating unit, no mention was made of the heating source as there were no obvious signs of broken or improperly installed gas lines.
It will cost me over six thousand dollars just to get the gas main to my home in addition to the cost to install gas lines and convert the heater to gas.
What are my legal options? Do I have any recourse?
