Is $6,000 to replace the evaporative cooler system with a new HVAC system a fair price?
Project Details
I recently moved into this house and am correcting a lot of previous handyman's work. My neighbor mentioned the evaporative cooler flooded his yard a year or two ago, so I had a company inspect it. The contractor made remarks about the power supply, claiming the spliced cord is an electrical fire hazard and that the normal plug should be 220V, which my quick research shows is incorrect for evap coolers. My wife is now pressuring me to get a new HVAC system because she doesn't want to run the current unit.
Quote Details
The contractor proposed replacing the entire evaporative cooler system, citing an electrical fire hazard due to a spliced power cord. The quote is for a complete system replacement, potentially upgrading to a new HVAC system, to address this alleged electrical issue. The estimated cost for this replacement is between $6,000 and $8,000. - Reason for replacement: Spliced power cord identified as an electrical fire hazard - Contractor's claim: Normal plug should be 220V (homeowner notes evap coolers are typically 110V) - Scope of work: Replacement of the entire evaporative cooler system
