Remodeling Lesson #2

Baldwin Air Conditioning

So, there's a huge hailstorm.  Air conditioning condensing unit gets all banged up.  Insurance Company says they will pay to "comb" it.  I don't even know what that means.  Heating Contractor comes over to look at air conditioner.  "I need to see your furnace."  he says.  Okay, here's the furnace.  Contractor notices that the basement is not finished.  So the verdict to fix the air conditioner?  The furnace and ALL THE DUCTWORK needs to be replaced.  You have got to be kidding me.  Gives a $16,500 price.  He can get a NEW a/c unit for $2000!!  Good thing he called me before he did this work  It was TOTALLY UN-NECESSARY!  He decided to bag the whole thing and get a swamp cooler for $600.  It's dry here anyway.  He could use the humidity....
