Furnace and Air Conditioner Installation Cost

[yossarian]

I have received quotes to install a new furnace and A/C unit at our house and wanted to get a sanity check on the price.

The load calc indicates a need for a

120,000 BTU unit and a 4 ton A/C. The units would replace a 120,000 BTU that was original to the house (1982) and a 3 1/2 ton A/C that was also original to the house (1982). Since the house was built, there is an additional 300 sf or so, with a total of almost 3,300 sf of space.

There is a fair amount of work to be done in connection with any installs, including a lot of venting/piping for the furnace and the A/C, as well as lining our chimney to handle only the hot water heater. In addition, we will certainly require some damper adjustments.

We have been quoted $6,500 for an install of a Carrier 58 MVP 120 and $6,300 for an install of a Carrier 38 TDB (16 SEER).

These prices seem high, but they are actually lower than pricing we received on comparable (equivalent?) Bryant equipment.

I am also looking to install a furnace, as well as new A/C unit.

Get additional quotes from other sources. I suggest three, normally. Check with friends neighbors, co-workers and family for suggestions for trusted installers. It is really the installer who makes the difference between good and bad.

It is really difficult to say of a particular quote is a good price or not from here as local conditions and your specific install make a big difference

...

Maybe a few less copies of your question ??

[m Ransley]

Was load calc written, you have a copy. So one guys cheaper.

You need a sanity check

[yossarian]

I think it seems high too, but it was actually much lower than another quote I got on the same equipment -- 35% lower.

We looked into lining our chimney and it was about a third the cost to just cap it off and put in an electric water heater, as that was the only thing left using the old flue. Just fyi. :)

[Dr. Hardcrab]

and he has posted it about 4 more times since!!!!

[yossarian]

That makes me feel a lot better about this.

[Bubba]

How are you going to intelligently decide on a proper bid when you cant even post in a newsgroup properly? Maybe we can understand you after another 100 or so posts Bubba
