QUESTION:Do any readers of this group know of websites that give prices of
the various models of a maker, say Carrier?
The conventional wisdom -- which I am happy to accept -- is that the
choice of contractor is the top priority. Still, in evaluating a bid or
estimate, one might want to know how much the actual parts cost, or the
difference in cost between an 80 and a 90% efficient unit.
My initial impression is that the actual wholesale cost of the parts
( I assume that nobody in his right mind would want to do the
installation -- which needs a license anyway -- therefore retail price
would have no meaning) is treated as top secret stuff, sort of like the
way it used to be with car prices.
ANSWER: I'm in the process of replacing my gas f/a
furnace so I've got these estimates.. but now I'm faced with, which is the
best? Is
there any difference? I know its really important to check the warranty because
they differ widely. Prices quoted are with installation, removal of old furnace
etc.,
Airquest,80% efficiency $1395; Heil DC90
Hi Efficiency $2245; Amana, 94% eff. $2160; Carrier, 92%, $2305; Trane, 80%
$1675;Payne, 92% $2075. Would love to know more about which is best?
