Is $7,400 to preventative maintenance for two HVAC units a fair price?
Project Details
I received this quote during a yearly HVAC inspection for my two units, which are both less than five years old. The company sold the yearly service as cleaning and maintenance, but it seems they only inspect and try to upsell. I'm frustrated because I pay $30/month for a membership that gives me a 15% discount, but the prices seem highly inflated. I looked up the items and believe most are unnecessary or something I could do myself. My wife has severe asthma, and I already have air purifiers and an Air Knight UV system installed in both units for five years, which I regularly maintain, so I'm skeptical about their proposed UV system. I also regularly change filters and clean the condenser. I'm trying to understand if any of these items are genuinely important, especially since I've been out of work and have been doing many home fixes myself.
