Is $5,000 to replace a 2017 R410a AC system with a new R454B system a fair price?
Project Details
My heat stopped around May 25th due to a leak inside the evaporator coil. My home warranty is insisting on replacing my 2017 R410a AC system with a brand new R454B system because they no longer cover R410a systems. They are covering the coil and its associated labor, but I'm being quoted $5,000 in uncovered costs for the condenser and additional labor. I'm trying to decide if I should pay this amount or explore other options, such as buying a 410B evaporator coil online and finding an HVAC company for installation and recharge.
