AC/Heating help for new build

13 years ago

I have 3 quotes so far but it is Greek to me in terms of if one is better than the others.

Could someone help and let me know if based on the quotes if there is one of the companies you would work with?

Also, all I have told them so far is that I want my 3 floor levels to be able to be seperately contolled and in the kitchen I will probably need MAU as I want to put a big hood fan with a 1200 cfm blower.

Also if you have any other advice for me, it would be much appreciated.

Here are the quotes

I looked at your three quotes. I am not sure I would want to work with any of these companies.

You must have a Manual J load calculation performed in order to properly size the equipment. Any contractor who does not do this is guessing at the sizes. There is no excuse for not doing the calculation.

Find a contractor who is willing to do a proper calculation for Manual J and Manual D (duct sizing) calculation.

Do you really need two 60 gallon electric hot water heaters? Apart from the massive sizes, why electric and not gas?
