SRTurbo04 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 ahhhhhh!!!!! this is more of a rant/ are you serious thread.... so right before I went on vacation or air conditioning went out… had someone come out changed a few parts an instantly blew the new parts. guy said the outside unit is toast( come to find out its 17 years old oops) soo fast forward two weeks later of HOTTTTT HOTTT weather we finally get an estimate from them for 3800 for the outside unit alone.. an 5800 for the outside an inside units . HOLY BALLS does this sound like a normal price to anyone, or are they just taking us up the butt? I'm about to call garret@ air quest an get a quote (only reason I didn’t before was this is the people that serviced it last time it had an issue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Doesn't sound to far off for an entire system.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I paid 3k for replacing an outside unit a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Sounds right, but I would have called garrett the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 might be cheaper if you buy the unit, install it yourself and then call someone to charge the system, that way your not paying the labor rate for replacing the unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Sounds about right depending on what you're getting. I replaced my inside/outside units back in 2007 with HE/DZ and it was right at $5000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 might be cheaper if you buy the unit, install it yourself and then call someone to charge the system, that way your not paying the labor rate for replacing the unit Yep. You do the install...Have someone else finish up the copper work and charge the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 That's way fucking high IMO. I'll check with my neighbor who fixed mine. He works for a major player here locally but does side jobs all the time. A full HVAC system that will work for our 2,800 sq ft home would normally sell for a little over $10k. I can get the exact same system from him, installed in one day for just over $4,600. Everything. Furnace and AC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's saying he can get a complete system for $5800, where as you said it'd run over $10k normally, but you can get a hookup on pricing to get it for $4600, only $1200 higher than the OP's non-hookup price and $4200 cheaper than your normal price. How is that "way fucking high IMO" ? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s13 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 i am assuming paul does not own a 2,800 sq foot house, so it would be cheaper then tims unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that "way fucking high IMO" ? lol The $4,600 is for a New Furnace and AC System, install and all parts for a system that meets the needs of my home. He's installed 4 of this same system at homes on our street. Another neighbor used his company but not him on the side and paid over $10k. I know this because he looked up what they paid. Our home is now 22yrs old and everything is original. I'm not ready to replace it all, but I know where I'm going to go when I do. Paul, if you want him to quote you on an AC system or for that matter, just come take a look at it, then let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrmnhrm Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Yep. You do the install...Have someone else finish up the copper work and charge the system. According to the tech who just replaced the outside unit at my apartment, the compressor/condenser units come pre-charged now. New refrigerants are a LOT more sensitive to overcharging than the old ones were, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 That sounds WAY high. My house is almost 3300sq/ft + a large basement. We put in a new 5-ton heat pump (which is more expensive than just an A/C unit), plus all lines and condensor had to be replaced as well, and filled with Puron. All done for $3200 installed, after tax. That's also for the best unit Carrier sells. $3800 for just an A/C unit for a home I am guessing is smaller than mine, is highway robbery, no other word for it.
