NexGen Air Conditioning and Heating 21 is the subject of a proposed class action settlement over alleged “unwanted calls” made to consumers in the past four years. Cases like this typically arise when people receive telemarketing or promotional calls—often to cell phones—without proper consent, sometimes using automated dialing systems or prerecorded messages. The settlement website indicates a $21 payment per eligible claimant, a February 10, 2026 deadline, and that no proof is required, suggesting the claims process may rely on the company’s call records and sworn claimant attestations rather than documentation from consumers. The lawsuit was filed because recipients claim the calls violated federal and/or state telemarketing restrictions, most notably the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which generally limits calls or texts made with an autodialer or prerecorded voice to cell phones without prior express consent and imposes rules for telemarketing outreach, including honoring do-not-call requests. TCPA class actions are significant because the law allows statutory damages per call, so even modest individual harm can add up to large potential exposure across thousands of consumers, creating strong incentives to settle and adopt tighter compliance practices. This dispute fits a broader pattern of TCPA settlements against companies and lead generators in home services and other industries, where marketing campaigns, third-party vendors, and consent capture practices are heavily scrutinized under FCC guidance, the National Do Not Call Registry framework, and evolving case law on what counts as automated dialing and valid consumer consent
