What is a reasonable quote for a new AC unit for 1800 sq ft house?

I would say anything around tree fiddy is a solid deal

What ton size are they quoting?

3.5 ton Daikin

My parents house is 2100 sq ft

They just got a Trane variable stage system with new ductwork for 13k

Are you in Baton Rouge?

That’s not even in the ballpark. They’re ripping you off. The unit costs about $1800 just for the condenser. If you need the coil and furnace you’re looking at about $3,300. And you can pay someone $1,200 to install the whole system. Install just the condenser about $600. Don’t get ripped off. I’m in the real estate business and I buy my own equipment so find somewhere to buy it yourself. The scumbags who quoted you that should be ashamed of themselves. If you can’t find somewhere to buy it, I’ll help you out.

I also only pay $1,500-$1,700 in labor for every new roof and buy my own materials. Saves me about 40%.

I see some HVAC professionals in here are downvoting me. those are the scumbags who want you to think it costs $11,000 for a new 3.5 ton system.

I paid $8k for one last year

When I read the thread title I thought $6k. Double that sounds insane

That would probably be below cost for a legit dealer.

I don’t know anything about Daikin brand, but is it 3.5 ton downstairs and 3.5 ton upstairs?

I don’t think either sounds high if they are the total price for two 3.5 ton systems installed (again don’t know anything about Daikin), but You might not need 3.5 tons on each floor.

Edit: I misread post, missed the duel zone system part, and focused on a duel unit system.

It's one unit with a dual system for each floor
