Why the Repair-vs-Replace Call Matters in Carmichael
A reversing valve swap on a 12-year-old unit can cost half as much as a new system. But a worn compressor or corroded coil can make that repair a poor deal. Fresh Air checks both before we recommend anything. Our CSLB license is #945361 and our work is permitted and inspected.
