Is $1,200 to replace a high pressure switch a fair price?
Project Details
My AC went out, and the technician found that a faulty high pressure switch was the cause. I'm wondering if the quoted price seems reasonable and if there's anything I should be aware of. I'm also curious if it's possible to install the switch without draining the system, and if there are any disadvantages to that method.
