I've had several people take my quotes deduct the cheapest mini split unit they can find online & assume the rest is what I'm charging for labor. And we don't want to install the cheap DIY units because we don't want to take the heat from customers when they break down. It will invariably be the HVAC companies fault despite the fact that the customer hand picked the cheapest equipment they could find. |

In 2021 we spent $14k on two Lennox units, a 3 ton and a 4 ton. This includes a 15 year warranty. I realize cost has gone up but your quote seems really high.

12.2k if I do the one stage furnace instead of two stage, and give up the variable speed fan motor. 14.5 with those two upgrades. Given that until 4 years ago I lived for 17 years in the mountains with wood stove heat and no AC, I'm thinking I won't miss those "luxuries", but let me know if I'm really missing out and should invest the 2,300. Thanks again! |

How the hell do normal people afford this shit? Do you fiance it and make payments for a decade? Dust your savings account? Take money from your 401k?
After getting my roof and gutters done it seems like you can be $20k into home repairs before you even blink. |

Then he's telling me about people who spare no expense and drop 40 grand like it's nothing. He had one extremely wealthy lady he asked, do you want the best like what originally came with the house and she said honey, the best has never been too good for me. Imagine being married to her. |

Paying off 12-15k in a year at zero % would be like doubling your mortgage for most people I'd reckon. |
