Money back from a Company who didn't do any work on my home

I recently went to a company called Colonial Generators to install a Whole Home Generator back in September 2019. an estimate was done by them as well as three other firms. I went with colonial. the VA is helping me pay for part of this. I received a partial payment from the VA and forwarded this to the company. It was not a deposit. I haven't heard from them since and have been attempting to contact them for a refund. They did not do any work at all. I even contacted their headquarters in PA with no success. the amount I sent them was $3400. I need to know my options
There has been no communication with the company to help me

Have you gone to their office?

You have many options. Suing them is one. Do you have a contract with them?

If not a deposit, then what was it?

I went to their office and they have been temporarily out of business, according to their business neighbor. it wasn't a deposit. it was from the partial payment the VA sent me and was sent to them so that the amount that I have to finance through them would be less. I explained this to them in a text. the deposit would have been half, according to their paperwork. I never signed a contract

Have you checked to see if the company filed bankruptcy?

See what a Google search reveals.

You can also check the federal courts using PACER.
