AC guy
BiggerPockets Houston family,
I am in need of a dynamite A/C guy for a houston rental I am considering picking up. The A/C crapped out and they are currently using window units. The home warranty won't repair since they arent replacing parts that require them to refill with R-22 refrigerant. Supposedly the whole house needs be retro fitted to work with the new R-410A refrigerant. Below is a list of what all needs to be done and final cost from A/C company. I am looking for a local guy who can do it much cheaper if possible.
-1-ARUG42C14A Air Handler
-1-GSX13042 Condensing Unit (3.5 ton - 13 seer)
-Disconnect and remove existing air handler in closet
-Install new platform and seal return air chase
-Reinstall existing air handler
-Repair wiring and reconnect ductwork
-Install new refrigerant lines
-Remove existing condensing unit
-Install new condenser listed above
-Reconnect electrical to equipment
-Restart system and check operation
Total - $5,450
Please let me know if you guys think this is reasonable or if anyone has had experience with this. Thanks in advance
