~6,500sqft / 4 stories with a basement. The price a year ago would have been more like 20k, but with the crazy price of lumber and all building materials going up, the HVAC companies followed suit :(

Please tell me this is a full build-out of not only the HVAC system, but all ductwork and construction as well? Otherwise, you are getting royally ripped off.

  Full buildout, cutting holes and running ductwork, etc. Thats the quote for materials and labor, yes. If I did it a year ago it would be 20k less :/

    Would you mind detailing why the cost difference would be so large from last year to this? An almost 100% increase is quite substantial, no?

      Building materials all went through the roof. They’ve not came back down and hvac hardware followed suit. https://www.constructiondive.com/news/skyrocketing-steel-lumber-costs-threaten-to-slow-construction-jobs/594969/ https://www.constructiondive.com/news/skyrocketing-steel-lum... https://www.benningtonbanner.com/local-news/cost-of-building-materials-through-the-roof/article_39e14984-ce1a-11eb-8254-5f897153cbd6.html https://www.benningtonbanner.com/local-news/cost-of-building...
