My A/C guy tells me that the electronic board needs to be replaced at a cost of $1,000. That it appears that some wires have been pulled out, disconnected, severed . The board is located in the attic and about this time last year the tenant admitted to messing with the board when the A/C seemed to malfunction. I told them not to touch that thing again. It is not covered under warranty.

Wait so it's been working for a year since when tenant messed with it?
If so I wouldn't try to charge them as it has been working this whole time.
Also sounds like you need a new AC guy. There is no way my AC would charge that much to put in new control board. A new air handler isn't much more than that.

I do plan to ask them if they messed with it again.
@Dennis M. I plan to get a second opinion. I've used this a/c guy for about 3 years with no issues.
@John Underwood Yes, tenants haven't mentioned any issues until yesterday. This price includes parts and labor.
@Account Closed, what seems to be wrong with the story? Last year the tenants messed with the board because there was issues with the 1st floor getting air. I replaced the batteries at the controller near the bedroom and it worked. (this was last year)
