A/C Unit Died @ My Dallas Rental - What would you do?
It finally happened. Just closed on my first property in Dallas and one month in - the A/C died. Can't blame the inspector too much - he notated that the unit was 20 + years old but didn't actually run it because it was inspected in Winter. Hoping for some insight on the best course of action.
Option One: Hire a local Dallas A/C company called Strike Force to replace 2 condensors, 2 coils (the property is a duplex and the front house units are just as old and it sounds like proactively replacing them is the right move). They have quoted me $12,000.
Option Two: Buy the parts on Home Depot and find someone on Angie's list or HomeAdvisor to handle the install. Should save at least $3,000 this way.
Option 3: Do Nothing. Advertise the house as a Bikram Yoga studio and start raking in the big bucks.
If anyone has a quality A/C guy that you trust - please pass along their information : )
