Is $20,000 to replace ductwork a fair price?
Project Details
I've been experiencing HVAC pressure issues, moisture build-up, and slight mold in my HVAC unit. The company suggested ductwork replacement for $20k, which sounds like a scam, but I do observe the ductwork looks restricted and possibly blocking airflow, suggesting it wasn't installed correctly. I'm wondering if this is causing the mold and moisture issues. Unfortunately, I'm out of warranty, but I still plan to contact the original installation company.
