Question:
Sam and Eleanor Gaito purchased a home from Howard Frank Auman, Jr., in the spring of 2014. Auman had completed the construction of the house in November 2009. In the interim, three different parties had lived in the house for brief periods, but Auman had retained ownership. The last tenants, the Ashleys, experienced difficulties with the home's air conditioning system. Repairs were attempted, but no effort was made to change the capacity of the air conditioning unit. When the Gaitos moved into the house in June 2014 they too had problems with the air conditioning. The system created only a ten-degree difference between the outside and inside temperatures. The Gaitos complained to Auman on a number of occasions, but extensive repairs failed to correct the cooling problem. In May 2017, the Gaitos brought an action against Auman, alleging that the purchase price of the home included central air conditioning and that Auman had breached the implied warranty of habitability. At trial, an expert in the field of heating and air conditioning testified that a four-ton air conditioning system, rather than the three-and-one-half-ton system originally installed, was appropriate for the Gaitos' house. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the Gaitos in the amount of $3,655, and the court of appeals affirmed. What result?
