      @GraemeE @mclaincausey
      Yup! Seems absurd to me too. Have another company coming out tomorrow. Hoping for a better prognosis. Thing is is that I’ve used the company from today before and they’ve always been great and honest (as far as I know).

      Fingers crossed tomorrow goes more reasonably.

        @Giles I know it’s probably not always as lovely as it sounds right now, but right now, that sounds heavenly!!

          @Mizmazzle as a loose rule of thumb I usually budget $1-$1.5k per ton on a standard residential/lite commercial condensing unit (ac) if I ever have to put a budget together .

            @GraemeE well, I don’t know what that means so…haha

            You mean like the physical weight of the unit itself?

              Tonnage has to do I think more with the volume to be cooled. Mine was 2 tons for a house that I think was 1300 square feet if that helps @Mizmazzle

              I imagine you’d be under 5 tons and thus $7.5k based on the math @GraemeE provided. They could be throwing crazy tonnage, multiple stages, and top of the line equipment at you but even so that seems out of whack.

              One of my buddies from back home does HVAC out here but is more focused on swamp coolers if those are of interest. Couldn’t sell the wife on that but they work pretty well in Colorado.

              Think it, be it.

                @mclaincausey damn!! Cause I was going to say, no way that unit weighs more than a couple hundred pounds haha.

                Our house is 1,700sq feet. So those metrics def help. Thanks McLain.

                        @Mizmazzle in my experience that quote could be due to it being the end of May and their services have suddenly come into urgent demand. They may not need the work and figure if you walk, fine by them, if you accept then they make a bigger profit. I’m sure inflation has also affected their costs for things like coolant, metal fabrication, lack of labor etc.

                          @Matt the guy mentioned the price of copper being on the rise and supply and demand. I think you’re right about the time of year being a factor. He was so gracious to waive his diagnostic fee today, if I scheduled a consult with their install team. Which I did. Then canceled later in the day. Need to get at least a couple more quotes. Hopefully the team that comes tomorrow says, “oh, it’s just this little thingamajiggy! That’s an easy cheap fix!!”

                              @Mizmazzle that sounds high if they’re not doing duct work.

                              Weather Changers put a new system in our last home for WAY less than that if you want to give them a jingle.

                              Just looked it up: $6400 for a Bryant system with a humidifier and a new circuit. We continued with our existing furnace and no duct work was required, just condenser, coil, etc.

                              I had a new system put in (also sans ducts) for around $7k in iirc 2018. Obviously pre-pandemic pricing, but more than double that seems fucking ludicrous.

                                        We’ve just had the first rainy day in 3+ months
                                        And by rain they reckon there was 10mm over the last 24hours
                                        As an avid hater of rain that little was a relief but as someone with herbs and plants we need a bit more
