What Changes a Quote
What Moves an Installation Price Up
Starting prices cover a standard replacement in a typical home. These are the items that most often add to a written quote, and each one is listed separately so you can see what you are paying for.
System size and type
A larger home or a variable-speed system costs more than a single-stage system for a small home. We size equipment with a load calculation, not by guessing from the old unit.
Ductwork condition
Ducts that are crushed, leaking or wrapped in old insulation may need sealing or replacement. We inspect them at every estimate.
DuctworkElectrical work
Heat pumps and mini-splits can need a dedicated circuit or a panel upgrade.
Multiple zones
Each extra indoor unit on a mini-split, or each zone on a ducted system, adds equipment and labor.
