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.
