Is $700 to clean evaporator coils a fair price?
Project Details
My unit is about 30 years old. I'm trying to determine if the quoted price to clean the evap coils is fair, or if I should attempt to do it myself. I believe the cleaning process itself is straightforward, but accessing and removing the coils seems difficult due to pipes being in the way.
