So i'm meeting with an HVAC guy for a new forced air furnace this morning. I have a tiny 1260' sq.ft. house.
I'm told to expect between 5-10K for the furnace installed. Is this realistic? Seems like a lot but what do I know. |

New furnace with no A/C and little ductwork? Or new HVAC system?
If either just new furnace or just furnace and mid range A/C system, you are getting "F'ed'' dry. [and really, REALLY hard] Now if you are going for a hi efficiency heat pump type then the prices go up. A standard 95+ two stage furnace is pretty cheap on the wholesale level. 80% are under $500, I can find 95%+ for $700-$750 on sale easily for that size house. what brand are you looking for/at and what company, where in Mi? |

most if not all manufactures will void the warranty if it's not installed by a licensed contractor I bought my 2 zone fujitsu minisplit and installed it myself for the cost of the tools i can sell back on clist any time. That unit does 2/3 of my house. At $3,200. I'm doing a similar yet smaller unit for the bedrooms in the spring. Fuck installers and their rediculous quotes. Ripoff artists. |

fuck the warranty. If he fucks up the i stall and causes it to last 2 years and not 10, at a savings of 4-9 thousand, he can go buy himself 1 new unit every 2 years for 10 years and still be ahead.

Sounds like he won't have a quote ready until next week. It sounds like he's going to come in around $6500 to me. I may be wrong. We shall see. |
