Quote for installation: Open loop - climatemaster 5 ton tranquility 30 ducting to connect to existing system(this is just the 3 or so feet to hook up in place of existing furnace) water heater for for the dsh (and the plumbing) april air humidifier stat(atc32uol) electrical to unit (breaker box is 5 feet from unit placement unfinished basement) $20,000 (roughly) Quote includes no upgrades to well system Does not include the "dump" either (customer's responsibility) Is this industry standard? Is seems like the install portion of this should be much easier than say an air source heat pump. No coolant to run, etc. I know that pump is like 8 grand - are they quoting 10,000 for the install labor?
There are other costs for doing business than just the machine. Look at the list of other stuff then add fees and insurance trucks labor, and do not forget profit.
