Is $6,846 to replace with a properly sized 5-ton, single stage, Lennox furnace a fair price?
Project Details
I am a complete HVAC amateur looking for advice/guidance on how to move forward with some HVAC issues in my home. I've had two companies come out and received inconsistent estimates and recommendations. I'm trying to understand if the furnace mismatch is the root cause, or if duct issues are just as important. I'm also wondering if the second group's third option is overkill or the right long-term move, and if $6,846 is reasonable for a 5-ton Lennox furnace swap. I'm considering if it makes sense to replace the furnace now and tackle duct issues later, and if there are any red flags from either estimate. I just want to make the most cost-effective, long-term choice for an investment of this size.
