Is $4,000 to add a zone to a Lennox 14ACX and ML180 system a fair price?

Project Details

We have a two story house that already has two units; however, the west side of the upstairs is always a lot hotter than the rest of the upstairs. The vents and air returns are set up in a way that no duct work needs to be changed and the new thermostat would be very close to the HVAC. I am wondering if a zone would work well on our system and if the cost seems reasonable.

Quote Details

The quote is for adding a zone to the existing two-story house with two units, specifically addressing the hotter west side of the upstairs. The current vent and air return setup means no ductwork changes are required, and the new thermostat will be close to the HVAC unit. The work includes: - Installation of a Honeywell zone control panel - Installation and wiring of motorized zone dampers (quantity based on system design) - Connection of individual thermostats for each zone - Integration with existing HVAC equipment and ductwork - Full zone configuration and system balancing - Final performance test and homeowner orientation
