Primary cost controls
- Equipment capacity and efficiency
- Ductwork or electrical changes
- Number of zones
- Climate and design load
This model represents a general HVAC replacement rather than one named technology. It is useful before the owner has chosen between a furnace and air conditioner, heat pump, dual-fuel arrangement, or another configuration. A comparable bid should separate equipment, duct or line-set changes, electrical work, permits, removal, startup, controls, and warranty so the broad allowance can be reconciled.
