Hi,
I have an estimate from a local company (they're fair and reputable based on past work they've done for me) to replace my current AC unit (inside and outside). They've offered several options - I'm interested in the lower priced option - a Payne 13 system - the service guy tells me that the important components and technology is essentially the same as the more expensive Carrier Comfort 13 system they also quoted - and that the Payne brand is just Carrier's alternate (less expensive) brand.
Even though the local company has been fair AFAIK, for this kind of money I need to get a second opinion - thinking of getting a competitive quote.
The quote I have is for parts and labor to replace all of the inside and outside components, including a new disconnect and whip and thermostat - no ductwork - about $5,500 - he says that I could go from the 3 ton they've quoted to a 3 1\\2 ton for another $300 - is this quote in the ballpark for North Texas? THANKS!
