Is $1,550 to replace AC condenser coil and recharge refrigerant a fair price?
Project Details
I like the guys I got this quote from, but I am wondering if this quote is reasonable before I pay a few to get any second opinions from others. I am fairly certain their diagnosis is right as I self-diagnosed it before they ever showed, without telling them, and came to same conclusion, which was obvious given the huge greasy spot where it's all leaking out. My wife is insisting I get a second opinion but everything I am reading online this seems reasonable. I ended up getting two different quotes and the quote from the first guys was better, plus they had already come and were willing to apply the diagnostic service fee towards total repair, so I am going with them. The other quote was higher; funny enough, on that quote the R410 was like half the price of the first guy's, but the labor was double the cost.
