Is $15,000 to replace a heat pump and air handler a fair price?
Project Details
My current Rheem heat pump died after 15 years. The service tech replaced the capacitor two weeks ago, but the unit became intermittent and then completely died. I'm considering this quote because it's hot here now, and I want to avoid delays by getting more quotes. I haven't seen the formal quote yet; this information is based on a verbal discussion. I will provide more details when I have them.
