replace the steel grill housing and filter cover

Is $400 to replace the steel grill housing and filter cover a fair price?

Project Details

I am an older woman with 10 ft ceilings who cannot physically carry a ladder upstairs or perform overhead work. The original filter cover clips broke after seven years and the grille is now bent out of shape from falling. I attempted to source a $70 replacement part but the clips do not align with the existing frame, requiring a full housing replacement.

Quote Details

Thank you for your feedback!
