Five Questions to Ask Anyone Bidding Your Job

  1. “Can I see the Manual J?”

    If there isn’t one, the sizing is a guess. Ask what design temperature and what altitude correction they used.

  2. “Is this a cold-climate rated unit, and what is its capacity at 5°F?”

    They should be able to hand you the manufacturer’s performance table, not a marketing brochure.

  3. “What is the changeover point and how did you calculate it?”

    On a dual-fuel system, this determines your operating cost more than the equipment does.

  4. “Which rebates are in this number, and which do I have to chase?”

    If a federal credit appears anywhere in a 2026 quote, that is a red flag worth pulling on.

  5. “Is the permit included, and who meets the inspector?”

    Permits are not optional and the answer tells you a lot about how the company operates.

FAQ

Cost Questions

Do you offer financing?
Yes. We can present financing options alongside the cash price so you can see both, and we will tell you what the total cost of the financed option actually is rather than only quoting a monthly payment.
Will a heat pump lower my utility bills?
It shifts them. Electric use goes up, gas use goes down. Whether the total falls depends on your rate plan, your envelope, and the changeover configuration. We model it against your actual twelve months of bills before you sign and we show you the assumptions, including the ones that could go the wrong way.
Is it cheaper to do this in the off-season?
Scheduling is easier in spring and fall and you are not making the decision under emergency pressure, which is worth more than any seasonal discount. The genuinely expensive time to buy a heating system is the night yours fails.
What if I only need to replace the air conditioner?
Then it is worth pricing a heat pump against it, because you are already paying for the outdoor unit, the line set, the electrical, and the labor. The incremental cost of making that outdoor unit a heat pump instead of an AC is much smaller than a standalone conversion — and it comes with the rebates an AC does not qualify for.
