Is $1,600 to replace corroded condenser coils a fair price?
Project Details
My MIL's AC is struggling but still working. I was told that the salt water air corroded the condenser coils. I'm wondering if a seal coating spray could be a temporary fix to help keep the temperature and pressure down until she can afford the new coils.
