Is $600 to add a wire to the AC system for thermostat a fair price?
Project Details
I have an Ecobee smart thermostat and a 5-year-old Amana AC unit. My AC unit keeps turning off and stopping despite multiple technician visits. The last technician suggested adding a wire to the system as a potential solution because there are only 4 wires at the thermostat.
