Initially I was relatively pleased. Relatively in that I needed a 20' run of galvanized pipe replaced with pex. This was estimated at $350.

Looking further, more of the galvanized had pin holes so ended up replacing another 60' or so. The price ballooned to $2300, took them about 3 hours. Felt seriously taken advantage of.

But wait, it gets worse.

Apparently while they were in my attic running pex they kicked the air return duct work loose from the filter box. It took a couple months, but all of the duct work is now saturated with water as is the plenum. And, I have some new stains in the ceiling as we did not know water condensate was running off all the piping like a mid-summer night's thunder storm.

Getting the A/C guys engaged, it became clear that pulling 110 degree, humid air from the attic into the A/C unit will do that.

Current estimates are $5,660 to replace all the duct work, plenum and pipe insulation.

Yippee, sucks to be me.

I strongly recommend passing these guys by ...
