Hi;
I am being quoted the following to replace my AC and Furnace in Va. Amana 3 Ton
96% VARIABLE SPEED GAS FURNACE 14.5 SEER AIR CONDITIONING UNIT PLUS COIL, PAD FOR OUTDOOR A/C WITH DISCONNECT BOX AND NEW DIGITAL THERMOSTAT. LIFETIME HEAT EXCHANGER UNIT REPLACEMENT LIFETIME COMPRESSOR 10 YEARS PARTS AND 10 YEARS LABOR $9622 I am being quoted an additional 600 dollars for dual fuel for natural gas backup.The firm says that Amana's waranty is the best in the industry. The estimater went out and looked at the house but did not conduct a Manual J or a Manual D. He says the old unit was a 3 ton and the new 3 tons are much more efficient than the old ones. So it will be just fine.
Is this bid inline with other products? I am trying to call different firms but each one carries a different brand unit so it is hard for me to compare.
Spending 10K is a lot of money and I want the best value I can get. Please provide name brands with good reps.
Thanks Pat
