Ohio AG sues Kelly Heating and Air for second time

The Ohio Attorney General filed a consumer protection lawsuit against Kelly Heating and Air Conditioning for the second time.

AG Mike DeWine said the business, owned by Daniel W. Wells, took money for services never provided.

The last known address for the company — 7616 N. Main St. — is in Clayton where police are getting calls from angry customers.

Others are trying to track him down there because the business address is still listed online.

One woman who lives on North Main Street by the business said angry people are showing up on her front porch. She even posted a sign on her door.

News Center 7’s Lauren Clark reached Wells by telephone, and asked how customers could contact him.

“They can call this number,” he said. “I don’t know why the lady in the house up front is doing what she’s doing. She’s causing all kinds of problems and making all kinds of false allegations about people coming by there.”

The phone number listed online is 937-469-3889.

This is not the first time Kelly Heating and Air was sued by DeWine. In 2016, a consumer protection lawsuit was filed that alleged shoddy work.

Among allegations in the second consumer protection lawsuit filed last month is that Wells took money for services he never provided.

“We’re taking this action to protect consumers. We think people should know about the repeated problems customers have had with this operator,” DeWine stated in a release.

Wells said he is no longer operating as a business.
