I guess I'm getting a deal. The quote was $7800. I'll reserve judgment
until the job is finished and paid for.

Not bad...I paid $4,500 for an "preferred deal" on a 3-ton in 2019.
I'm in Richmond and had one of the subcontractors who does lots of work for my company (a commercial general contractor) replace my heat pump in 2019. I did all of the electrical work myself, but they ran a new line set (I took advantage of the opportunity to relocate the outdoor unit so I could expand my patio), removed the old unit, and installed new outdoor and indoor units. I'd say you're getting a fair deal.

Mine was 10 years for parts and upped labor to match. American Standard.
Local company is top notch.

I have an American Standard too. Good equipment.
It's the same company as Trane, so the same components with a different name badge on the outside.

Paid @the same for upper level & lower level A/C units and controls…
…a few years back in DV. Smooth operation ever since.
Brown Water Brown Water OP
Yep, I'm in DV too. We have dual zone and this is for the main floor and
basement. Had the heat pump replaced for the upstairs a year or two ago.

With NoVa tax I'd say 18-20k
I paid about 14k for the same thing a couple years ago out here in UT
Stork Stork
$12,000

LesHaunx
i still have 10k left to pay for my hvac work...
...and that was a few years ago so 12k sounds about right.
Stork Stork
Although BW’s paying Nova prices. I’m not sure what factor I need to apply.

LesHaunx
true
Stork Stork
I should ask, how many SEER?
Brown Water Brown Water OP
No clue, although I'll guess 14-17. Could be as high as 25.
Stork Stork
Mid-summer, Nova $12-$14,000
BG Hokie BG Hokie
He wishes. I would be shocked if it's under $15,000

Once we were forced into high efficiency HVAC systems, the cost went up...
...and the longevity went down.

$20K?
I have no idea, other than it won't be cheap.
