Is $400 to clean a blower wheel a fair price?
Project Details
I have a 4-year-old dual zone split system. I try to keep up with maintenance every few months but sometimes let it go too long. When I first bought the house, insulation ripped off inside the unit and blew around due to incorrect work, which might be contributing to the dirt. The unit is located in the attic. This is my first significant expense on the unit, as I usually only pay $170 a year for winter/summer service. I replace my filters every 3 months. I'm generally a DIY person, but I prefer to avoid HVAC work due to specialized tools.
