We called for a second opinion after reviewing Gloria Gardner's A-C repair bills over the last two years. Air West sent out a tech with 13 years’ experience. Matt Lind examined the U-V light that set Gardner back $1379. And the filtration system cost this 85 year old $1395.
Gardner’s neighbor Alan Kiehle contacted us after reviewing all of Gardner’s bills over the last two years and consulting with two other A-C businesses in Pasco County.
We obtained pricing for filtration systems with seven local businesses. The prices ranged from $150-$695.
What about that U-V light? They are popular for protecting against mold but they don't have to cost four figures. Quotes from those same companies ranged from $250-$695.
We called the A-C contractor that installed the parts. They pointed to the quality of the filtration system and U-V light. Regardless the onus is on the consumer to get a second opinion and third quote from a licensed A-C contractor who comes recommended from people you know and trust.
