HVAC installers charge $14,000 for a Bosch dual-fuel system

“With the cost of electricity skyrocketing, does the switch to heat pump even make sense? My gas furnace is due for replacement so I’m weighing my options. There are no online tools to compare costs of gas vs heat pump. submitted by /u/pooorSAP [link] [comments]”

“Location: Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex / North Texas System Context: 13-year-old 2.0-ton split heat pump system (Attic air handler + outdoor condenser, all-electric with 10 kW backup strip, no gas). Background: A tech came out last week to diagnose a no-cooling issue, confirmed a large leak in the aluminum evaporator coil, and refilled the refrigerant ($700). Within 5 days, the entire charge leaked out completely, confirming a major coil rupture. Given the 13-year system age and a $4,400 coil-onl”

“I was hoping to get some advice on the quote that we received for replacement of an old AC/furnace system in the addition to our home. It runs separately from the rest of the house, and is for approximately 1000 sq ft (including tall ceilings). This is our first home with central AC and we enjoy having a heat pump on the other side of the house. We need a dual system as we live in a a cold part of the Northeast, hence why the furnace is also being replaced. Please note: these figures do not incl”

Is it possible to get one fully installed under $6,000 or around that area of a price tag or am I way off? Without rebates? No drywall cut out is needed. Everything is accessible through the attic. And it’s a replace, the only major thing is that electrical might need to be updated since the current one is running on a 115v, seems most new ones need 2”

“I'm replacing two HVAC systems in my house and I'm having a really hard time understanding the pricing I'm getting. Most of my quotes are around $15k–$25k PER system, and that's generally starting with the lower-grade configurations. If I ask about moving to a higher-end system, the price goes up significantly from there. Multiple contractors have told me one of the big reasons prices have gotten so high is equipment/material costs. So I decided to check that myself. I got a mate”

Im seriously considering going down the diy route with the help of my neighbor who is a handyman/general contractor. Depending on the unit I get, would bring the cost down to maybe 10k.

The evap coil is leaking a tiny bit. This unit alone costs about $16k if not bundled with a basement unit purchased at the same time. The basement unit is AC 15 year old + furnace 28 year old,”

“I have gotten some quotes to replace my HVAC but they all have different BTUs. Can anyone look at my old one and tell me the BTUs? I'm not an idiot, but I know almost nothing about this.

“I’m simply asking for opinions as I bought a condo and then had several quotes for a very aging air handler and got some interesting quotes due to the location of the building.

“I own a single-level ranch in Connecticut and I am completely fed up with my central HVAC system. It’s an attic air handler with central AC and hydronic heating. I paid thousands for the installation, and within 4 years, the AC started leaking coolant. Now I’m looking at spending thousands again just to fix it. With heating oil hovering around $6/gallon, I desperately need an alternative, and I am heavily considering abandoning the central system entirely. I’m thinking about installing a 4 DIY s”

“I'm in North Texas and have two 21 year old units in my house. They're hanging on, but I wanted to get opinions on their eventual replacement. One company suggested I get a Bosch Inverter heat pump and keep my existing furnace. He said the heat pump could do most of the heating and keep the natural gas as a backup. This quote was significantly less than another company that recommended a more traditional system. I've never had a heat pump, but I've heard good things about them. H”

“I received two quotes for the same equipment: one for $8k, another $12k. The job includes removing old AC and replacing it with a heat pump. We would keep the exiting furnace and blower in a dual fuel setup. Both companies have great reviews, but I am bit hesitant to go with the lower priced one. Is the $8k price enough to pay all the costs of running a business and make a healthy profit? It may seem silly to worry about your contractor's profit margin but 1) I don't want them to feel at”
