Had an AC company over to take a look at our AC unit that quit blowing cold air and they told us the compressor was dead and we needed to replace it or simply get a new unit, which would be just few hundred dollars more than a compressor.
They quoted a new AC unit for $9,000. Husband was so tired of the whole situation that he was already thinking about how to deal with the costs for it.
Thankfully I was able to convince him of getting a second opinion before and we had a second company over to take a look at our AC and this new guy saved us!
He literally replaced a little piece that costs like $30 and our AC is working beautifully.
What set me off is the fact that the first company claimed they tried to replace the same piece and it didn’t work.
First company has many years of business. I truly think they lied to us and that sucks. $9,000 would put us in a terrible financial situation. I can’t believe how people can do such unscrupulous stuff like this to others.
