Air Conditioning Condenser in Charlotte NC

[Don Jackson]

I have a 2.5 ton air conditioning unit in a property in Charlotte NC that went out. The PM had an AC company come out that wants to charge me $5,000 to replace the entire AC system. He says it is so old it all needs to be replaced. The house was built in 2005.

My question: Can the 2.5 ton condenser be replaced without replacing the entire system? What is a general price range in Charlotte?

Thanks
