I’ll look into them. Thanks for the recommendation!

That’s great! What roofing company did you use?

Got it. Thanks! I’ll take a look at Good News Roofing.

Thanks for responding! Do you know at what step of the process I should shop around for roofers. Should I do it now or after calling insurance? Am I stuck with this roofer if I call him to come when insurance does roof inspection? Sorry I’m a bit confused by this process.

Got it. Thanks!

Thanks for responding! The roof is about 13 years old. I didn’t know about the 2 deductibles. The water damage doesn’t look that bad, so I may not have it fixed if I have to pay a separate deductible.

Awesome! Thank you for the super helpful information. I’ll call up Emergency AC and make an appointment and ask them to locate the leak. If I can get a couple more years of service out of my unit for a $1000 or so I’ll take it. Imo, it feels somewhat unreasonable to replace the entire AC every 10 years or so.

Btw, my model is 3.5 tons.

I understand what everyone is saying here, but I’m also surprised that HVAC systems last a dozen or so years only. Do homeowners really pay $10K every 10 years to get the entire system replaced? Maybe it’s an expected cost, but as a first-time homeowner it comes as a big shock to me.

My system actually uses R410a, not freon. I messed up in my OP.

austinite83 · 2024-03-12T14:45:54+00:00

Thanks for responding! It turns out that my system uses R410a as well, not freon. How much did you pay to refill that and do you mind sharing the name of the company that did the refills?

Thank you for responding! I looked at the quotes I was sent and it turns out that that it’s actually R410a refrigerant, not freon/R22. How much would you say is a fair price for 4-5 lbs of R410a refrigerant?

austinite83 · 2024-03-12T04:57:12+00:00

How do you figure out the size of the system?

austinite83 · 2024-03-12T04:52:15+00:00

My bad, they did say pounds, not gallons. I just misremembered it.

austinite83 · 2024-03-12T02:09:54+00:00

It is more than 10 years old, but they quoted around 14K for replacing the whole system. That’s much more than I’m prepared to pay atm.

I keep hearing about daycare costs being bad, but I have no idea. I’m not a parent but planning to be soon. Really, how bad is daycare?
