Is $8,000 to replace an upstairs AC unit and air handler a fair price?
Project Details
My upstairs unit is out of freon (R22), so I need to replace it with a newer model. I really like the HVAC people and they have always been honest in the past. However, this is a lot of money for me to spend, and I wanted to see if others thought this was a fair price.
