Direct Energy Marketing Ltd. is facing two new charges under Alberta's consumer protection legislation.

The company is accused of failing to refund a contract within 15 days after cancellation.

That was after a Sherwood Park homeowner cancelled a contract in June for a new furnace and air conditioner, said Service Alberta.

The company is also charged with using a contract that does not contain clauses required by law.

The case is scheduled to be heard in Sherwood Park provincial court Jan. 18.

The maximum fine under the Fair Trading Act is $300,000.
