Is $8,500 to repair an HVAC system and replace ductwork a fair price?
Project Details
I noticed growth in my air handler closet upstairs. A company indicated it's likely due to a lack of insulation in the attic, causing the unit to sweat and form mildew/growth. I'm not an expert on what is reasonable and plan to get two additional quotes. This project is specifically for an upstairs area.
