1. Is your evaporator/blower unit roof-mounted one or is it in the attic?

I think sometimes if you have one in the attic then basically the house was like ... built around it? It can be a lot more work to disassemble those and remove them part-by-part from the tight confines of the attic versus lifting one off the roof with a crane, which is pretty fast and simple.

Not saying 24K isn't outrageous but there can be big cost difference if the evaporator/blower is in the attic.
