In New Jersey, homeowners have a legal right to cancel home improvement contracts (electrician/HVAC) within three business days of signing.
Contractors must refund payments within 30 days of cancellation. Post-three-day returns/refunds depend on the company's specific warranty, often requiring items to be in original, unused condition.
3-Day Right to Rescind: Per the New Jersey Contractors’ Registration Act, consumers can cancel, for any reason, before midnight of the third business day after receiving a copy of the contract prior to work being started.
Cancellation Process: Written notice must be delivered via certified mail or in person.
Refund Deadline: All money paid must be fully refunded within 30 days of the cancellation notice.
Item Returns (Materials): If a customer wishes to return materials (e.g., HVAC units, lighting fixtures) after the job, policies generally require items to be unused, in the original packaging, and within a specified timeframe (e.g., 30 days) to be determined on a case by case basis along with a restocking fee to be determined.
