Is $800 to replace flex line and install a regular and sediment trap a fair price?
Project Details
My AC went out last week. I've only lived here for about a year, and it's a new HVAC unit, so I was surprised the inspector didn't catch this issue. The $800 quote is separate from fixing the actual circuit board issue. I'm trying to determine if this is something I should really be concerned about, but it sounds like I will get it fixed.
