Compare HVAC replacement quotes without the guesswork

Bring the same seven questions to every proposal.

A side-by-side comparison

Compare	What to record for each quote
1. Equipment	Exact models, capacity, and rated efficiency.
2. Assessment	How heating/cooling load and ducts were evaluated.
3. Included work	Electrical, duct, venting, drainage, controls, removal.
4. Local requirements	Permits, inspections, contractor credentials.
5. Warranty	Parts, labor, registration, exclusions, service contact.
6. Total price	Cash price, taxes, exclusions, and change-order process.
7. Timing	Availability, expected installation duration, payment schedule.

Resolve differences before comparing the bottom line

Different equipment and labor scope can make two prices look farther apart than they are. Ask each contractor to clarify missing items in writing. Do not assume that an omitted item is included.

Choose based on the complete proposal

Credentials, responsiveness, scope, and service arrangements matter alongside price. We do not rank local contractors or claim that a listed price is the best available.
