Is $6,000 to replace a 3-ton AC unit a fair price?
Project Details
My AC isn't able to push cold air to the second floor despite trying to route by turning off the thermostats on the first floor. A technician tried topping off Freon but concluded that there isn't enough pressure from the compressor, and the compressor needs replacement. I am considering getting it fixed with Goodman, and I have also been talked into replacing the heater as well. I am currently looking at a Lennox unit.
