Questions to Ask Your Contractor
Based on our analysis, we recommend asking these 5 questions
Is a Manual J load calculation included, or can you provide documentation showing how the system size was determined?
Why: Ensures the system is properly sized for your specific home.
Does the quoted price include permit fees and scheduling the inspection?
Why: Permits protect you and are required by code. Unclear inclusion can lead to surprise costs.
Can you itemize what's included in "ductwork modifications"?
Why: Vague language leaves room for additional charges after work begins.
What's the warranty coverage for labor, and how long is it valid?
Why: Parts warranties are common, but labor coverage varies significantly.
Are there any potential additional costs not reflected in this quote?
Why: Asking directly can surface hidden costs before you commit.
Summary
This quote is from a contractor who appears to prioritize quality installation, but the price is higher than typical for your area. Several standard items aren't clearly included in the line items, which could mean they're bundled — or could lead to extra charges. The system size is reasonable but worth confirming with a load calculation.
What This Means
You're likely dealing with a competent contractor, but this quote needs clarification before signing. We recommend asking the questions above, and if possible, getting one or two comparison quotes. If this is your only option, negotiating on price or asking for additional inclusions (like a smart thermostat) is reasonable.
