[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need to replace existing gas (80k btu) and AC (2.5 ton 14 seer) system.  Furnace, AC coil, and condensing unit for est 2000 sqft 3-story colonial.  No changes to ductwork, etc - just remove the old boxes and pop in new ones.  Anyone care to share what they recently paid and contractor used. TIA [/quote]

From a contractor: $6,500- $7,500 for this job using Trane/Carrier equipment is a fair price if its as straight forward as you make it sound.  You might find someone willing to do it cheaper with as mild as its been.  Anything more than $8,500 is robbery.     [/quote]

This is spot on.  650 for evaporator, 1250 for condenser, 1250 for furnace and blower.  Give or take a few hundred.  Throw in a few grand for a days work and profit.

I would edit it to say “From an HONEST contractor not looking to fleece you”.[/quote]

IME as a customer we definitely had quotes in this range this year. We opted for a more efficient system that cost more, but we are aware the efficiency gains won't make up for the additional cost we paid. Unfortunately it is not financially advantageous to get the most efficient system so you either pay more to reduce your emissions or pay less for a basic system.[/quote]
