Is $1,200 to clean the existing AC coil a fair price?
Project Details
My unit is dripping water, slowly filling the catch basin on the floor. The AC company has been here twice to clean any drain line issues, but the problem persists. It is an air handler, and the condensate drain to the outside is clear. The clog or issue is inside the unit where access is poor, which is why they now want to pull the coil. I'm wondering if this sounds like a good idea.

The AC company has previously attempted to clear drain line issues twice without success, and the issue is believed to be inside the air handler unit where access is poor. The company noted that pulling the 7-year-old coil could potentially damage it. The work includes: - Pulling the existing AC coil - Cleaning out the coil - Inspecting for pan leaks
