Is $17,000 to replace a 3 ton AC unit a fair price?
Project Details
My old 3 ton unit has finally kicked the bucket, so I'm looking around for quotes in Florida. I just want to make sure I know how much a replacement should cost. I don't really know anything about HVAC; plumbing is where I'm more familiar. The contractor didn't tell me what SEER2 rating the unit has, which I guess is a red flag.
