If you've never installed a furnace you shouldn't try it unless someone helping you is a qualified installer.
Can someone please give me some advice ? I own a small business and have a pricing question.

Edited pricing and moved to AOP Commercial
I have done this about 35 times ,but some jobs take longer then others. this changeout took 8 hrs.how many hrs is normal.

As many as are needed to do the job right. Each job should be individually price because each job will have its own requirements to do it right.
yes i own a business and i have 20 years exp.I have done about 200 installations but they are all comm units.I wanted to know how long it takes to change out a domestic 80 percent unit and how much to charge if i bought the unit for $.
thanks barry

1. there is no standard rule
2. cause of venting needs
3. combustion make up air needs
4. gas piping needs
5. electrical upgrades required to meet current code
6. evap coil install, is it clear or is the top of a door way interfere, is it a basement, closet, or attic install, up flow, downflow or horizonal?
7. does the current tstat work with the furnace or does it needa special one for digital signal?"
this isnt an all inclusive list,
However each line adds costs, thus no standard rules can be applied, unless you are seeking a flat rate rule that is tripple what these jobs should cost
If you cant cool it
HEAT THE Hello out of it
