If I'm paying more now because of my decrepit (corroded) condenser, that's fine. If I replace the equipment and STILL END UP PAYING MORE, I'll not be a happy camper.
Now if I can just find a contractor who gets that. After spending so much time on this forum, I'm really paranoid about making a costly mistake!
