Is $18,800 to install a Daikin Fit DX6VS HVAC system a fair price?
Project Details
I'm currently running an American Standard Allegiance 13 (R22) system, model 2A7A3060A1000AA, manufactured in September 2006, which I believe is a 5-ton system. It's still working but I can hear rattling at the blower, and I know it's time for a replacement. The R22 refrigerant is no longer available, and the system likely has a tiny leak somewhere, as it had to be recharged around 2018, and the latest reading last year was lower than after the recharge. I want to replace it before summer hits hard here, with average temperatures of 100-105F during July-September. I'm trying to decide if the Daikin system is worth the extra cost over the Goodman, and if the Goodman system can be easily serviced without requiring premium parts. I'm also open to recommendations for other brands.
