Is $11,000 to install a 2.5 ton 14 SEER2 2-stage Rheem/Ruud heat pump and air handler a fair price?
Project Details
I have received three quotes so far for a new heat pump and air handler. I am primarily considering a 2.5 Ton 14 SEER2 2-stage Rheem/Ruud system, as the other option, a single-stage Goodman, has fewer details. Both quotes are for $11,000. The consultant mentioned that HVAC prices are increasing, with a potential rise in September due to tariff impacts. I find the offer of 0 payments for 12 months very appealing, as I plan to pay it off in full after that period. I am leaning towards the 2-stage option.
