I have received quotes to install a new furnace and A/C unit at ourhouse andwanted to get a sanity check on the price.The load calc indicates a need for a120,000 BTU unit and a 4 ton A/C. The units would replace a 120,000 BTU thatwas original to the house(1982) and a 3 1/2 ton A/C that was also original tothe house(1982). Since the house was built, there is an additional 300 sf orso, with a total of almost 3,300 sf of space.There is a fair amount of work tobe done in connection with anyinstalls, including a lot of venting/piping forthe furnace and theA/C, as well as lining our chimney to handle only the hotwaterheater. In addition, we will certainly require some damperadjustments.We have been quoted $6,500 for an install of a Carrier 58 MVP 120 and$6,300 foran install of a Carrier 38 TDB (16 SEER).These prices seem high, but they areactually lower than pricing wereceived on comparable (equivalent?) Bryantequipment.
