| Ductwork is surprisingly expensive, especially if it's done right. And you want it done right. |

DP. People don't like them because the air doesn't feel hot. |

That has nothing to do with the unit not working well. |

Wut. If the air coming out of your vents in January is 72F, who cares? |

In new construction that's not going to be an issue. |

| That quote is in the ballpark of what you’ll be spending. We received three quotes for a smaller addition but with replacement of the existing ductwork. Our all-in was $21k. |

| That sounds reasonable actually. Get a better heat pump though. |

Without knowing the details I would ballpark it this way:
14 SEER Heat pump/ac combo with install: 6-10k. You could do much better with higher SEER and it should still cost in this range. Duct material built to spec: 1-3k Duct install labor: 1-3k Electrical materials: $300 Insulation materials: $500 Permits and inspection: varies by locality Multi zone mini split setup would be substantially cheaper. |

You don't know the details, so how can you estimate labor? |

It’s all a guesstimate, genius, not just the labor.
I’ve done this enough to know what is highway robbery and what is reasonable. Op said it’s an addition. So the framing will be exposed and the hvac must have been in the diagrams as it’s part of a mechanical permit and should’ve been required by the code department for conditioned spaces. Plug and play. Not rocket science. Call Lee Highway Sheet Metal With the specs and I can guarantee they will charge in that range For materials, likely delivered to site. |
