So my AC is crapping out on me today. It was inspected a couple of months ago, and the AC guy thought the coil might be leaking, and he said it would cost around $1200 to replace.
This is a standard (for the Northeast) furnace/AC unit in the basement. It's a Carrier unit that we had installed in 2001. The house is approx 3400 sq ft.
The AC guys are coming to look at it tomorrow, and if it is the coil that needs replacing, I'm wondering if I should spend $1200 on a 17-yr-old furnace, or just replace it? Any thoughts?
