Ok, here's the thingI got 5 estimates about replacing my HVAC systemNo problemThree of the five looked in my attic and said I need to replace the duct system completely as the insulation is hanging off, plastic showing, etc(It's probably over 20 years old)One person did not even look up in the atticOne other looked and said it needed to be replaced in certain sections, and two say it needs to be replaced completely citing that the plastic is showing and not in the best conditionThe last guy who looked says it looks good, does not need to be replaced, just put new insulation on the areas where it is hangingHe said the plastic is not brittle, so the whole thing does not need to be replacedSee my confustion here? I have ascertained that the duct needs attentionThat I believeBut whether the whole thing needs replacing is the questionShould I replace the whole thing (more money) or just certain sections as recommended? Be serious please.
