Is $2,933 to replace pressure switches and recharge system a fair price?
Project Details
I had a company I'm a member with come out because my AC wasn't running and the air wasn't cold. My outdoor unit is about 8 years old. They gave me a quote for pressure switch replacement and system recharge, plus a $170 service visit fee. I got a second opinion from another company who said the issue was a bad contactor and replaced it for $389. Both companies said the Freon was fine. After the contactor was replaced, the house cooled down.
