What to Expect in Your HVAC Project
HVAC bids should be sized to your home, not pulled off a shelf. Here's what a proper project accounts for.
System replacement
Replacing an aging furnace, AC, or switching to a heat pump is the most common job. Correct sizing (a load calculation, not a rule of thumb) matters for efficiency and comfort — ask whether a bid includes it.
New installs and conversions
Adding central air, converting to a heat pump, or installing ductless mini-splits in spaces without ducts. Fuel conversions (oil or electric to gas, or to electric heat pump) may involve other trades.
Ductwork and air quality
Sealing or extending ducts, adding returns, and installing filtration or HRV/ERV systems improve both efficiency and the air you breathe. These are easy to overlook in a bare-bones quote.
What affects the cost
- System type and efficiency rating
- Home size and existing ductwork condition
- Fuel source and any conversion work
- Whether new ducts or line sets need running
- Available rebates and permit requirements
What to have ready
- The age and type of your current system
- What's prompting the project — failure, efficiency, comfort, or an addition
- Rough square footage of the home
- Whether you're open to a heat pump or want like-for-like
