re: A/C Quote - Ripped off?

There are other ways of politely declining work than charging an outrageous price. Especially in today's age where the power of wireless data and social networking and social media can eviscerate your hard-earned reputation in half of a heartbeat with a single misstep along those lines.

No, the unit is inside the home, very easy to get into. The quote is from One Hour, so pretty sure it was standard pricing for the job because he read it out of a book.

Run!
Do not hire these people! They replaced an entire system for me several years ago for $5500. They guaranteed that our bills would go down... They went up. It wasn't until we sold the house and the buyer had an inspector out that they discovered the problem. The One-Hour installer didn't seal the bottom side of the duct work between the return and the AHU which means for two years we were trying to cool Baton Rouge Attic air.

The worst part is that they had been out once after complaining and assured me the system was fine. I got them to make it right for the buyers only after threatening legal action. Also, when they came out to make the repairs they broke my attic steps and dropped a drill through the ceiling which created even more work for me before we could sell the house.
