Is $11,000 to replace multiple components of an AC unit a fair price?
Project Details
I just had my AC unit serviced, and the technician pointed out several issues that he said need to be replaced. My AC unit is 16 years old. I'm looking for advice on these issues, as the technician quoted $11,000 to fix everything. He also mentioned that a capacitor replacement alone would be $464 according to the invoice.
