An association of independent Missouri hvac contractors has won a major battle in the fight for fair competition between themselves and a utility company.
The Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC) has ruled that AmerenUE, formerly known as Union Electric, is in violation of Missouri’s fair competition laws involving their “On-Call Appliance Plan.” The utility will terminate its repair service plan to avoid paying penalties of up to $12,500 per violation, and will not institute any similar plan through Dec. 31, 2001.
