The whole time I was talking to the salesman, I thought, this guy used to be a used car salesman. Used all the same tactics. Started out at $26k then dropped down to $23 with rebates. 10% off for paying cash upfront. He then asks, what number were you thinking... I threw $17k at him. He had to call his manager but was able to do it. Crazy... I felt violated when he left. They sent me a quote to replace the blower capacitor for $420. A $15 part. Thanks for the honest videos

Yeah you might as well go buy a car. I will only ever pay 5k at most for a small sized system to 10k for larger units. Anything else is highway robbery.

This guy makes a good point... Make sure you get multiple quotes, before you make the decision... Good advice no matter what you buying...

A lot of times the sales person knows you are over a barrel with a down system. I went out and bought 2 spare units (1 window and 1 portable). This ensures I'm coming to the table and I'm not on fire hot, with a grumpy family. Allows me to take my time and make a good decision.

I did the same thing when mine went out 3 weeks ago. I tore out my unit and getting ready to put in an air handler in another month. Only concerned with heat coming up this winter for now. The best time to replace a system is when everyone thinks you don’t need one. The worst time is when you have to.

What I'm doing right now. I'm looking to buy locally for half their installed quotes 8k plus or 4k out the door hmmm.

I recently had to replace my heating and AC unit. I needed a 2 ton 16 seer unit. I had 5 contractors come to my home and I got prices from 5700 to 14,000 dollars. Naturally people would go with the 5700 system but this contractor was hard to contact so I said if they are this hard to contact then if something is wrong with the system then I could not get in contact with them. Bottom line the cheapest price may not always be the best price.

I'd say the cheapest price is almost always NOT the best price and there are usually reasons for them being cheap. Low quality and substandard work, or they know they won't stand behind it, and/or they have a poor reputation and must low-ball a quote just to get any work at all.

I live in the San Diego area so the equipment is drop shipped from Los Angeles to a local HVAC wearhouse . Two techs RNR’d the indoor and outdoor components in one day., and I have been pleased. I got a total of three quotes including Home Depot at $11,500, and Lowes at $19,000. Both Big Box stores sent out two sales people with fancy computer presentations.

Just received one quote today for two units in a 3,200 SF home with mid line quality Lennox. The first choice was $62,000 down to $39,000 for the basic two stage gas furnace and 16 SEER AC units, a 2 & 4 ton units. A bit obscene. Needless to say, will be taking more bids. I think that a lot of HVAC companies look at certain addresses and add the "millionaire" charge.

Found all your videos useful. I'm looking to replace a single stage unit that is leaking refrigerant and would like it to be able to start on my battery backup, if necessary. Would love to hear more about inrush/locked rotor amps, and experiences with startup on an inverter. Another idea for a topic would be matching to existing furnace. When do you need to match, or at least should match, a furnace when upgrading the AC from say a single stage to 2-stage or variable speed AC Unit? context: 5600 sq ft, three story home

I’m in Southern California, i gathered all information from the unit i want to replace, thought i would get a quote over the phone…sadly no one gave me any quotes. I scheduled a couple companies to come by. Good to know there are still good honest companies like yours.

The most I have gotten from a HVAC unit over the last 17yrs is 7 to 8 years before either the outside unit or inside unit had to be replaced

Great informative video and timely for me actually! I just got a quote to replace my (Massachusetts) 32 year old AC system and I have another guy coming tomorrow for a 2nd quote. The 1st guy quoted me this: "Basic Goodman 3 ton 14 SEER AC unit with Basis ADP air handler, keep existing copper line set, New Zone panel (existing dampers stay, or, add $600 to replace the two dampers. $9,900." I'm thinking that's A LOT of money for a run of the mill budget AC system. I looked online at your pricing in TX and didn't notice the air handler listed in your pricing. I have a Buderus oil-fed furnace hydro air HVAC system. I'd be interested to hear your (or anyone's) thoughts on the pricing I was given. Thanks!

Oh, by the way, they're building new homes here in Madison WI right now. Just the other day I saw guys on a pump jacks hanging siding - wind chills well below zero. The HVAC truck was parked outside. Doing duct work in a freeze and setting furnaces.

Start early before your system breaks down, quotes are free, get 5-6 and then you have a running average of cost estimates.

In QC we have a $5500 grant to upgrade an A/C to heat pump for those with natural gas furnaces. They want to cut GHGs. Sounds good, right? I just got two quotes and the heat pump installed is $11,000. Just a heat pump seer 2 inverter energy rating 21. Basically everyone doubled their price since the grant was available

How do you compare quotes that have different quality brands involved? Like a Tempstar versus a Trane?

Got a guy installing a new Amana 3 ton package unit for $4600. Best deal Ive found.

I work for an HVAC company and thanks for first pointing out the equipment price increases. As far as contractor pricing, there are some that will try to go the salesman, financing pricing route, but not most in my area (we don't). Quotes over the phone can't be trusted if given at all, especially if the company hasn't been to your house. They have zero idea of how well or how poorly your previous system was installed, if your ductwork is adequate or if you cheaped out before. Even if your current system was sized right. For pricing, just ask, if someone is cheap, why? Is it because they need the work because they don't have much because of a poor reputation? Are they super expensive because they are putting you in the front of the line ahead other installs that have been waiting? Also in my area there is a severe shortage of HVAC workers for most companies, meaning the workers in general have higher labor costs to retain them (and as a result you may have a backlog of installations). Those are just a few things to think about. Just be smart about your quotes, and remember thare are valid reasons for some prices and in other cases somewhat greedy ones.

It's always the contractor trying to swindle the customer. The HVAC guy I brought today wanted to charge me 7k... For a less than 1000sf home. I have the ducts and a heating system with a fan and furnace installed etc The Goodman unit he wants to bring costs $1,500. So his labor alone is $5,500 for about 4 hours of work. Now I'm looking for an HVAC guy through a friend because I'm going to buy the unit by myself (through the licensed HVAC guy) then get my own electrician guy and that's it.

I can't move to Texas. I have another solution though. Would you consider expanding to North Carolina?

In your linked prices for a new Air Conditioning system are you including both the condenser unit and the evaporator coil? What about the thermostat? For example, the average unit for 2.5 ton you list is $3,746. Which of the three is included?

Sorry. But everything needs to be looked at prior to giving someone a quote. Gas lines, regulator, tstat wire, duct work, return size, condensate drain...etc. Too many times a simple change out leads to way more additional work and materials that what was quoted for. If not performed properly, it will fail inspection, contractor doesn't make a profit and the homeowner will not be satisfied with the overall performance of the system. An unhappy/complaining customer will suck every bit of profit you intended to make. So, someone who gives you a quote in 30-45 minutes is not doing the customer or their company any good. To be honest, if a customer wants to rush me out the door in that time span, I'm walking away from that customer anyway. Been there, done that and they are always a problem customer after the job is complete. You pay for what you get. No need to pay too much though, nor should you go with the cheapest quote. The contractors who are usually in the middle of your received quotes will be the best option.

They probably charge so much since the evaporator coils leak every few years and need replacing.

Which type of systems were installed that saved some of your customers $300 on their light bills? Was single, double or variable speed?

What about companies that say, buy a new A/C and get a free furnace. Can you speak about this? Tu

A 3.5 ton compressor/condenser only cost the contractor about 1500.00.

I have new hvac 4mos old paid $3,600 with home warranty 24mos. Now compressor out waiting week in 90 temp.for new part to come and put in.😢 week later new compressor $620 more

I have a 30-year-old Rheem Furnace/air-conditioning split system, it is operational. I want to get it replaced while there is no urgency hopefully to save cost. Here is my dilemma. I want to buy my new hvac system thru Home Depot they will deliver the new unit to the store or to my home. However, when I contact a HVAC business, they seem uninterested in taking the installation work. Apparently not enough Windfall profit. I simply want a change out of the old unit for the new one. Everything is already in place. Your thoughts on what the problem might be? Btw, I would support a full inspection in case any unseen cost issues arise.

Will have to hire a small time guy/company. Reputable companies offer warranties on equipment and labor through them at no cost so they won't take that liability

my heat still works fine but my new ac unit might be a fan blowing over ice:D

A company with good word of mouth referrals wouldn’t ever need to promote pricing online without even seeing the job. You have no idea what the job needs without looking at it.

Yeah I couldn't have said it better myself. Well done Bob. Also there is no such thing as a good place on line for reviews. BBB is known for white washing reviews years ago by those paying for an A+ rating. People largely do not want to be tracked which would be required for a review to be considered *real* paying for reviews is a conflict of interest, but that doesn't stop many from doing it. The old advice of the time? *If it sounds to good to be true it probably is* The best guide is your own, find a contractor who can fix your AC system avoid shiny objects that lead you to place you're best not to go. HVAC is only going to be more complicated in a few short years and then again in 2035 / 2036 if the USA is to stay on target set by the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol.

I've contacted several dealers for a 3.5 ton ducted heat pump and getting quotes ~18,000. Is that typical for SE Pennsylvania?

Depends what brand/ indoor unit they're proposing by overall yeah, heat pumps had some of the highest increases lately. For anything worth having in your home you plan to spend next 10 years in, 16-18 is generally correct.

I live in Portland Oregon and we’re a Daikin dealer we’re selling systems around 7,500-8,000

When you say you sell systems, do you mean furnace, AC condenser, AC coil, lineset, thermostat and installation costs for that price? If so, is that a single stage system and what Seer rating are you stating in that price range? I think Daikin is a great brand and 12-year warranty is great, but we cannot sell systems for that price here in Denver. Base model or certain items not being included all effect the price.
