Is $300 to replace condensation pump a fair price?
Project Details
I had a new home custom built in 2015 with high-quality HVAC components on three floors. I bought a quarterly service plan from a local HVAC company. In 2016, a technician named Greg recommended replacing the condensation pump for $300, the exhaust pipe for $300, and the entire attic HVAC unit for $13,000, claiming it was unsafe due to a cracked furnace. I questioned his assessment, as my carbon dioxide alarms had never gone off and I never smelled anything strange. He claimed the unit was not covered by warranty. I made him show me the problem, which was a tiny bit of yellow flame amidst blue, which he said indicated a major crack. I sent him out, had the unit inspected by a different company, and everything was found to be fine. Almost ten years later, the unit still works great. I now use a company whose technicians are not incentivized to sell.
