| | Furnaces 95% effeciency and above Air Conditioners have to be 16 Seer and 13 EER rating to meet government standards. In Most Cases You Have To Have A Furnace With A Variable Speed Blower Motor. So In Most Cases You Have To Get A New Furnace To Qualify. |

| 2. | Can I Get A Bid Over The Phone? |
| | Not usually, it's to hard to guess what heating and cooling equipment is the right size for your home. I come out and do a heat load calculation to figure out what size the equipment is and give you a firm bid. |

| 4. | How Many Bids Should I Get? |
| | No more than 3 estimates. I have found that some of the people I have dealt with have been very frustrated, some are getting 5-7 estimates. I do not recommend this. |

| 5. | Why Is There Such A Big Price Difference between Companies? |
| | If you find when your are getting your estimates and 2 out of the 3 companies are substantially higher in price, it may be the difference in the brand name or the effeciency of the units. Be sure to always compare apples to apples. |

| | I have found that most of the time the people that put to furnaces in there home are happier in the long run. If you can not afford a seperate system during new construction make sure you plan for one down the road alot of utility rooms are very compact and do not have room after the fact. |
