Is $5,000 to replace the whole outdoor unit a fair price?
Project Details
Looks like I had a mice get into the control panel. They chew a couple wires. I had an electrician come out and splice those wires (I could do myself but wanted to be certain it was done correctly). Still getting the error code after that fix. I checked all connections. None are loose. I thoroughly checked for any other loose or chewed wires and there are none. Parts are under warranty but not for rodent issues. Looking to see if there’s any other troubleshooting I can do before I explore other options.
