Is $1,568 to repair HVAC system a fair price?

Project Details

This quote was received during a spring tuneup for my 20-year-old Trane Gas furnace and AC units. The system is currently running okay, although it might need new capacitors. I think this price seems outrageous for the work described and wasn’t sure if they were trying to sell a blower motor, draft induction motor or just capacitors with this quote. I won’t be recommending this quote, as I think it should only cost a few hundred dollars to bring the system up to code.

Summary of the proposed repair work: - Replacement of the indoor air control motor with electrolytic condenser - Adding a superstar kit to the outdoor compressor
