So, if the condenser ALONE sells for $2200.00 you fucking
two snappaheads install the thing for $2500.00

Not exceeding what other good contractors would charge, by too much.
As an aside, I have to say that I like our A/C guy, he seems to be
actually honest. I had an issue 2 years ago where I knew what was bad
(speed control board). One contractor came and BSed me how he
"diagnosed" that all boards need to be replaced. He did not get
hired. This one identified the issue and fixed only what needed
fixing.
So, I would pay him slightly more than the competitive amount, but
would not want to be taken to cleaners.

That depends on where you are and how much work needs to be done
on your particular house.( Are they running new supply "lines"?)
Why not call other companies for competitive
bids on similar products?
I'm in Houston and $5000. doesn't sound like "a lot". I recently
had to replace the condenser/compressor unit (outside) for
$1800 which was the middle of the three bids I got.

Too damn cheap.... what corners is he cutting to be able to do it so cheap??
Bet its not the new R-410a refrigerant either.... in a couple of years, when
you need some more R-22, get ready to get fucked hard as its phased out.
