Is $5,991 to replace AC/condenser with a 2.5 ton 16 SEER2 system a fair price?
Project Details
My wife and I are first-time homeowners. Our AC hasn't been keeping up with the heat, reaching 80F inside when set to 75F. The temperature coming out of the vents is about 70-71F, which seems too high. The current unit is a Lennox 410 2.5 ton that came with the house. We just found out the coil is leaking in the attic and is not repairable. We are hoping to sell this house and move into a larger one in 3-4 years. We are considering this option over just replacing the coil for about $4k, as an extra $2k seems worth it for a new unit and warranty. We also received two more expensive options ($10k and $18k) but are less inclined to consider them given our plans to move.
