Bought a house three months ago with a 5 year old HVAC. HVAC is now broken (evaporator coil is leaking) and have been getting quotes on replacement. Being quoted $18,700 for a 2.5 ton unit (house is ~1,000 sqft) and fully replacing the ductwork. Anyone have recommendations on second opinion and whether this is a good quote?

Replacing the ductwork sounds like BS. The condenser unit just needs to be replaced (IMHO). Is it one of those where the AC is outside and furnace inside or are they separate units? (And where is the coil leaking, in the outdoor unit or in the exchange?) my 1100 sq ft house has a 2ton AC. Been running 15 years. I used Nick & Co in Charlotte. (My mom was told her coil was rusting and needed replacing for $8k. Another company said it wasn’t too bad and could last 2-3 years. So you definitely need to get other estimates. )

Seems high but could be inflation.

I just had mines replaced with Martin Heating and A/C Install and Repair and he was a lot more affordable. Call 980-328-4716. You won’t be disappointed

That’s high for a house that size. You could get the leak repaired for cheaper or keep shopping around.

If you got one, you should check your home warranty. This would very likely be covered. If you’re upping the size of your unit, you may actually need the ductwork done. Not having the proper ducts with a larger unit can cause condensation and mold 😷. Sorry to hear it tho

Precision heating and air.

I'm getting a new HVAC and duct installed on a house that never had HVAC for like 10k 1400sqfr. And I've used this guy several times for other rentals and similar pricing. You're getting ripped off

Always get multiple quotes. I have had great experience with SKY Hvac

Easy solution is just get multiple quotes. The duct work getting replaced sounds suss

1st; make sure you aren't calling the popular company that has a ton of commercials. (MJ) they are the most expensive and high-pressure sales. Had terrible experiences with them and had one of their techs escorted off my property by police.
2nd; On a 5 year old HVAC, the evap coil could probably stand to be replaced. I had the same issue on my system a few years ago and had just the coil replaced. The system is now 20 years old and still going strong without issue.
3rd: duct work only needs replacing if it's damaged or you're upgrading unit sizes.
Definitely get multiple quotes. You're in peak season, and prices are high, but ill intentioned companies will use this time of year and desperation to price gouge. Stay diligent.
