Question about getting a new unit

**jarrelle10** · 10-01-2008, 04:13 PM

I apologize in advance if I post something wrong or in the wrong spot.

I just got a quote for a new 3.5 ton 15 seer American Std. unit and a 2 stage 80 variable speed 100,000 btu furnace.

The price to install it came out around $Removed and that includes a new 7 day programable thermostat as well asRemoved to relocate the outdoor unti to a different spot.

Is this a good price or is there room to work? I want to go with Am. Std or Trane.

Thanks in advance for everyones input.

Please read the rules re' pricing!

Please re-read the site rules. No pricing......

jarelle, you need to remove your pricing, go back & read the rules for this forum.

you obiviously can't be bothered to read site rules or even pay attention to to the front page

DUh - no pricing

and anyways how in the hell would we know if its a good price or not we can't see the job from here

You should be more concerned about a quality install than if its a good price.

get three local quotes for three contractors in your area if your concerned about price.

I will tell you this : The quality of the install will remain with you long after the cheque clears so cheap isn't always cheap some times it costs you more in the end

That thing looks like a nuclear reactor. Asbestos wrapped pipe and all. From the looks of it, it's still in operation. Kinda reminds me, of one of those old John Zink furnaces. They just would not quit.

Might want to reread the contract a couple times. Make sure you understand it.

Since you didn't understand the rules here.

Yea, a gas fired coal conversion gravity furnace. Take off the skin and it's a big ol pot belly stove with ducts attached. The first attempt at ducted hot air home heating.

I change um all the time. Tear out everything and start over.

I can say, in all honesty, in this picture, that equipment is before my time.
