i did find the inside and outside system to have no surge protection on it. i would recommend adding a surge protector to the in’s side and outside equipment
i also found the contactor with some voltage drop across it which is a duping the contactor is not making great connection and could fail
customer wants son to look at estimates
Surge protectors are great, but lots and lots and lots of homes/electronics have survived without them for a long time.
The contactor could be an issue and fail later on. They are super easy to change. Since its your mother and she's 92, Id probably be proactive and just have it changed.
Id definitely get another quote though, $1200 seems a little steep. Do you think you could handle the work yourself? What surge protectors are they quoting?
