Before you sign
How long does it take?
Most furnace and AC swaps take one day. A switch from a furnace to a heat pump, or new ductwork, can take two.
Will you need to cut walls?
Almost never. High-efficiency furnaces need new PVC venting, which usually runs through a basement rim joist.
Can I keep my ductwork?
In most homes, yes. The advisor checks static pressure at the visit. If a duct is too small for the new system, the fix and its price are on the quote.
What if I'm not ready?
The quote holds for 30 days. We'll check in a few times, and one reply stops the messages.
