Is $1,400 to replace a TXV valve on a Carrier AC unit a fair price?
Project Details
My AC is not working, and my house is very hot. I've been trying to get other quotes, but companies are taking too long, and I want to get this fixed as soon as possible. I'm wondering if the quoted price seems too high, especially since the TXV valve itself is covered under warranty and this quote is just for labor.
Quote Details
This quote is for the replacement of a faulty TXV valve on a 2-year-old Carrier AC unit. The TXV valve itself is covered under manufacturer warranty, so the quoted cost is for labor only. The company will need to order the part from the manufacturer. Any necessary refrigerant is not included in this price and would cost an additional $100 per pound.
