So glad my BIL is a licensed HVAC guy. A 12 pack plus parts is what he usually charges.
On a side note, He saved me a ton of money once. The capacitor went out on my house unit and he was out of town. Called the company who installed and their tech came out and replaced the capacitor and told me it was not under warranty anymore. He proceeded to tell me that I was low on freon and gave me the cost on top of my repair. I told him that I could not afford the extra and wrote him a $300 check. He told me to call his personal cell when I could and he would cut me a break on the side for half of what his company charges. Meanwhile by BIL comes over, checks and I do not need any freon at all. Told me what a capacitor cost in real life. I called the company back and told the owner that her tech was trying to scam me and her. She looked at my account and told me that my part was under warranty and since he did what he did, she gave me my money back. Thanks BIL.
