[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone ever been told their air duct returns/lines and whatnot need replacing for their hvac system? When doing research I read they should be replaced every 15 or so years and although we've never had it done I'm still skeptical as there are a lot of charlatans out there who are determined to find a problem and sell you a solution.
I do not believe every single homeowner or even the majority of homeowner do this every 15-20 years and their hvac systems works fine and house hasn't caved in. Our actual unit is only 5 years old and they admitted the unti was fine just ducting. Not looking forward to handing over thousands for what appear to be a few hundred dollars in materials unless there are more materials than I realize and labor costs that rival the cost of the hvac unit! We've told others salesfolk to exit stage left when they discover a desperately needed repair that will cost 2-3 months or more worth of mortgage payments or and scare tactics for the hard sell. Millions of homes across the country are just fine without all these "you need this" upgrades. Plus after too many service/repair nightmares I don't want my home even more messed up than before. Thanks! [/quote]
