I called, a service tech came out. 2 minutes of him looking at it I diagnosed and said a new unit is needed. Keep in mind it was cold outside and inside. Sales person came out and without really looking I was given a price of $4799 to install a new inside unit. And $2000 to repair the old. Keep in mind the old unit was 30 yrs old and was also told parts would be hard to find. Added plus was my energy bill should go down. It was cold so I agreed. Well it was prompt service heat was back on, installation was really good and service techs really nice. Not sure if I could have gotten a cheaper install and don't want to know! Only negative is my electric bill has tripled since install.
