Home inspection for our house on the market was today. The AC tech recommended the system be upgraded to a R410A system from the current R20 due to a leak in the evaporator coil. They didn't say how they determined but the home inspector had noted signs of water at base of inside unit.
We currently are renting to some friends short term who are military and being stationed elsewhere and they have been running the AC at 70 for weeks while humidity here has been around 80% because she was pregnant ( had kid last week) and he called to tell me water was pouring out of the secondary. My thought is the signs of water was from the AC condensation.
A few questions
Am I wrong to be pissed he recommended an upgrade on my dime?
How do I know how he determined a leak? He didn't say how he determined and he only showed one pressure reading on the report.
It's a working system!!!!! How much would it cost to replace the evap coil on a 4 inch on unit? I'm thinking a fair counter would be half the cost of the coil replacement.
What do y'all think?
Edit to say the tech also got the manufacture year wrong. That's basic so I wonder how much attention to detail was actually paid
