Is $14,500 to replace a 20-year-old AC and furnace system a fair price?
Project Details
My current AC is leaking water, which is due to a bad drain pan, and there's a slow leak somewhere in the system. The heat exchanger is rusty and showing wear because of the water. The system is 20 years old and uses R22 refrigerant. The condenser is rotting out, though the air is still cold for now. I'm wondering if this replacement is truly needed now, or if I can delay it, considering potential price increases. I'm so tired of these costs.
