Is $6,950 to replace the ac side of the system a fair price?
Project Details
The homeowner has an 18-year-old Rheem 3-ton system that is freezing up and struggling on hot days. A technician diagnosed a restriction in the system (likely a TXV issue) and recommended full replacement rather than repair due to the age of the unit.
