Is $9,000 to install a new American Standard AC unit a fair price?
Project Details
My 4 ton Carrier AC, which is only 7 years old, started leaking for the third time in a year. The coils went out, and it has been unable to maintain temperature, with wires showing corrosion. I decided to get a new AC as I had already repaired the previous one. I'm on the Gulf Coast, so there's a lot of salt in the air. Unfortunately, I couldn't get warranty coverage because the AC was installed by the previous owners and they did not register the unit.
