Yes. The Instant Estimate uses the same installed pricing our comfort advisors use, including equipment, labor, permits, standard electrical and disposal of the old equipment. It adjusts for your home size, number of stories and where the equipment is located (attic, closet, garage or crawlspace).

The price can change only if a site visit finds something the tool cannot see, such as damaged ductwork, an undersized electrical panel or asbestos. We confirm everything in writing before any work begins.

Essential Comfort is a standard 14+ SEER2 single-stage system with a new thermostat, a 10-year parts warranty and a 2-year labor warranty.

The 12-Year Worry Free System is a 19 SEER2 communicating inverter system with a smart Wi-Fi thermostat and 12 years of parts, labor and maintenance included, so you pay $0 for maintenance and repairs for 12 years.

The tool shows all three side by side so you can compare features, price and monthly payment.
