What do you have against giving some random guy on craigslist a couple thousand dollars???? This guy was legit though. It was a brand new unit and I had a lot of different models and options to choice from to fit the my needs.

Also I read a little into what the deal is if your home value increases by way of adding a medical necessary improvement. It is actually pretty cut and dry. (cost of the upgrade) - (the value of your house immediately afterupgrade - the value of your house immediately before upgrade) is what can be used meet 7.5% of AGI. Im not sure, but I don’t think your need a real deal appraisal. For someone like you that is replacing a old unit with a new one the increase in your home value is going to be negligible. For me adding a heat pump to a house that previously didn’t have one it may be significant in relation to the cost, thank God I also needed couches and stuff.
