Is $10,000 to install new ductwork and potentially move furnace a fair price?
Project Details
Considering moving the furnace from the attic to the basement as they need to be replaced anyway and there seems to be some issues with leakage. I'm asking how much new ductwork should cost. My HVAC guy quoted around 10-20K excluding the system cost, which feels like a lot. I also want to know if my contractor can do the ducts and the HVAC guy just the system installation.
