HVAC system for residential price quotes?
I’ve recieved 2 quotes now for Trane and Lennox 95% efficient furnace and 15 seer AC systems. I’m in the upper midwest and the load I need is 80000 btu. Both quotes were over $9000 installed. Granted the furnace is the top line model but the AC unit is an upper middle model and I’m installing them at the same time, does this sound reasonable for this type of system?
The room it’s being installed in is big enough to house the unit, the prices he gave me were from his book. These were the base prices for the Furnace, AC, Filter and A housing thingie. No speciel retro stuff (that’s additional on top of the 9000). Now how is that price looking?
No absoulutely not!! Its way too high!! Im a HVAC contractor here in the midwest and for a system as you describe i normally charge way under 5000.00. For 9000.00 you should be getting a new system and all new ductwork registers etc! since you are on yahoo i will give you this little tidbit of info : 90% furnace, !4 SEER AC Unit, New A coil with labor and materials cost me wholesale around 3000.00 bucks. Making 6000 in a day seems kinda steep dont it!
