Probably blown a fuse just having to read "Fremmer" over and over again. The list of things I've done to my AC is long, and trust me, greater than anything you will get installed for $5k. The list of things I would spend $5k on before paying for anything more than one direct line is even longer. If that makes any sense.
Unlike the other guys mentioned I actually have first hand experience with the relative value of not just AC wiring but a whole long list of other things like fuses, Pods, etc. It is not that AC wiring isn't worth doing. It is. Just don't kid yourself. What I said above. There's a whole long list of things with way more payoff, easier to do- and way easier to take with you if you ever move.
Some of us however have money to burn. Not me. Consider and evaluate accordingly.
