My review should be findable on Yelp, <\/a>I posted it 2026-05-21.<\/p>\n

We had Faithco give estimates on preparing a house to sell.<\/p>\n

There were some elements of their estimate that were reasonable here are the parts that were not.<\/p>\n

A toilet seat wobbled a small amount. The Faithco plumber said it would be $275-$1000 to fix it. I took a look at it and it took me 15 seconds to tighten the nuts at the base of the toilet.<\/p>\n

The drip tray of an air conditioner in the attic had been collecting water and draining through a pipe for years, which is not ideal! The drain took a path that zig-zagged up and down a bit. They proposed raising the unit to be suspended from the rafters and replacing the pan. I asked why not just replace the pipe, taking a straighter path and he said that the AC unit sitting on top of styrofoam supports was putting at risk of falling. His quote was $2800 to raise the unit. And he wouldn’t offer other options even after I questioned each part. I asked another company and they suggested changing the pan for $1500 and fixing the drain for $500. We went with just fixing the drain for $500.<\/p>\n

We wanted a quote on replacing a 20+ year old AC system. Faithco couldn’t find the model number of the unit on the equipment outside but found a 3 ton furnace in the attic so they quoted us (summer of 2025) $13,800 for a SEER 15.2 3 ton unit and $16,800 for a SEER 16.2 unit. Another contractor found the nameplate and showed it to me (a little hard to find but not really, right on the compressor) and saw it was a 2 ton unit (you can tell it’s a 2 ton because the model number ends in “24”). The other contractor subsequently quoted us $10,500 for a 2 ton system and $12,800 for a 3 ton system. The other contractor also pointed out that since the house has a 2 ton unit for the bedrooms and a 4 ton unit for the main living space, high SEER is less important, the unit would mostly be used in the evenings, not all day. I had a follow-up conversation with the Faithco HVAC tech and he doubled-down on believing it was a 3 ton unit even though I told him I saw the model number ending in “24”. He said, and I recall it exactly because it was so odd, “In this area, we make sure our our compressors match our furnaces.” I bit my tongue but wanted to say, “I agree, but the nameplate I’m looking at still ends in “24””.<\/p>\n

Faithco recommended replacing 3 AC float switches for $225 apiece. Maybe it was me but I couldn’t figure out why we needed them. I don’t think they tested the existing units but I’m not sure.<\/p>\n

Soooo, we went with Evans Air instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
