Is $2,800 to replace evaporator coil under warranty a fair price?

Project Details

The unit is a Lennox XC16S036-230-05 located in a crawlspace. It is still within the 5-year warranty period. The homeowner is concerned about whether the labor charge is excessive compared to industry norms and wants to avoid private equity-owned companies.
