    I would recommend you to get 3-5 estimates from different contractors. This is the only way to understand if you are getting the best deal possible. Once you have all 5 estimates, try to negotiate. This is a big job and very good money for contractors. They should compete for your business.
    And check all the contractors with your local BBB. You better need a contractor that was in a business for a long time.

    It’s really hard to say without seeing what’s involved in installing the system. Every job is different, with different variables that would affect the final price. Labor is the most significant cost, so a job that requires a lot of labor will certainly be more expensive than a job that doesn’t require a lot of labor. It’s important when you get bids that you ensure you’re comparing apples to apples, i.e., same BTU capacities, same efficiencies, same warranties, same type of duct work, etc.

    Yup that sounds right.

    Sounds like an excellent price. I paid $3,800.00 for the same carrier furnace about 5 yrs ago plus you’re getting a 16 seer ac.
    I hope that price includes the A coil.
    Are you getting a humidifier too?
