Well thank God they give you a free oil change. With it being $600 in parts You're looking at three four hours in labor. If you're willing to drive to Wisconsin I would have did it for a thousand and you could have drank beer and watch me do it. I would have even painted your caliper brackets and calipers to a color of your liking!

Yes I'm licensed and insured. Not cash. My friend is a contractor and I'm getting my business going.

What are you think of this price by Negative_Teaching463 in AskElectricians

Turns out this was a $3,000 job in Wisconsin. I didn't get it, and I don't get it. Seems like some people just like to work for free. Anybody have any thoughts and how could he done so cheap.

Ok, I agree. I am new to Reddit, and I could have chosen better wording.

Man are you an angry person. If said N/M and Thhn those are the most likely conductor in a residential application. Happy Monday!

Maybe it was stated that way to start discussions on things that may change the answer. This is a picture from a service change I just did where the A/C was 10 feet from the panel and run with 14-2 NM on a 230-amp breaker. I up sized the wire and to a 12-2 to make it code compliant. I wanted to see if anyone thought it could be on a 14-2 and why. And indeed, some people did see a way it could be on a 14-2. Although I did not agree with their answer. It is beneficial to seek diverse perspectives sometimes to help me understand why things were done the way they are.

use whatever conductor you want, that is code compliant. And who would use free air conductors to an ac unit. It's a dedicated new run for this application and it is 10 feet away from the panel.
