My outdoor AC unit is dieing, I had a friend of friend come out and look at= . A test of the pressure out showed about 110PSI which is about half per t= he HVAC guy it should put out. Since the unit is 14 years old he recommend= s replacing the outside unit which from what I have read is a good idea on = a unit that old. He also wants to replace the whole inside air handler fur= nace etc with all new stuff.=20
Is this all needed seems pointless to replace a good working furnace and a= ir handler? It would be a 2.5 ton 10 seer unit likely replaced by a simila= r sized 13 seer unit. I have a licensed HVAC contractor coming out Monday = to get a second opinion. I just want to be sure I know what I need.
I have a suspicion the original guy is trying to screw me since he wants a = large cash deposit before he does the work which I refuse to do.
