Is $15,000 to replace an air handler with a variable speed model a fair price?
Project Details
We have an air handler located right next to the air return vent, and it's extremely noisy. I suggested using dampers and soundproof foam, but the professional advised against it, stating it would negatively impact airflow and potentially risk the unit. I am currently in Los Angeles and seeking recommendations for a competent vendor.
