Well, mixed feelings, right. Expensive, but a better setup, and you'll be saving money monthly.

I have a buddy that had everything but the heat replaced in his home in Magnolia this week to the tune of $13k.

The AC in our apt went out earlier this year. When I realized, I called the office. They brought up a temporary indoor unit that kept the apt perfectly comfy, and then the maintenance guys replaced the coils about 2-3 hours later. Total cost $0. Apt living has it's perks.

Back when we had a home, I learned a lot about HVAC. Yes, most AC contractors seem to be hacks. I'm sure there are some good ones, but they aren't the ones that we ever found.
