Hey Andrew, I was in the same situation in the spring of this year, and received quotes anywhere from 19k - 38k. Most big players, climatemaster and Waterfurnace, along with some smaller brands like enercool. I had similar problems that you have experienced, and the pricing that you have received seems similar. It is a lot to swallow, that is for sure. I chose a different route, and learned how to support my own system. It is a complicated system that only a handful of service techs have the ability to handle. In the states, it seems like repair techs are easier to hire than here in Ontario. As soon as you mention geothermal - it is a totally different ballgame. The industry is relatively still in its infancy here in canuckville. Some sales agents, but servicing is clearly lacking, and thus causes no competition issues. The Packaged units have gotten extremely expensive, come with a lack of knowledge, and most importantly a lack of parts availability. This forum is quiet these days, although there are some that provide some informative material. Any other options?
