Is $11,573 to replace a 3 ton Trane heat pump with a Carrier Comfort heat pump system a fair price?
Project Details
I'm tired of constantly repairing my 8-year-old 3-ton single-stage Trane heat pump, which has had four outages this year, including freon/oil leaks in both the air handler and outside coils. I was specifically looking for a variable speed air handler. I'm seeking opinions on the reasonableness of this quote for today's market.
