Is this a good deal?
Comments (6)3.5 for downstairs and 2.5 for up, it is a bit much but the load from all 4 contractors called for a little more than 5 1/4. I face the sun almost all day with very large bay windows in the front. The furnaces are Lennox, had a good friend that works for a large commercial HVAC company that said furnaces are great, rarely used here, and don't let them try to sell you new ones, and all 4 bids agreed furnaces are fine. New evap coils are included along with the other fluff I mentioned earlier....See MoreMaytag Maxima washer/dryer deal at Costco
Comments (1)Comparing this and a speed queen is like comparing a car and an abrams tank! Yes they both drive, but the speed queen is IMMENSELY better built. That being said that is an EXCELLENT buy in terms of price of units alone (I don't love maytag/whirlpool, but they are decent units). Normally pedestals are $400 or so for a pair…so $1100 for a laundry pair delivered and installed is very low....See MoreCostco Hansgrohe - Good quality?
Comments (24)I beg to differ. While the big box, mass merchants may not dictate specifications and certainly whomever isn’t manufacturing “special” faucets, the big box stores do have enough purchasing power to dictate price. As in, “we’re willing to buy a 100,000 faucets but we’ll only pay x dollars per faucet.” It’s up to the manufacturer figure out how to make a faucet at x dollars each and still turn a profit. All too often that means cheaper components and, of course, labor. Then the manufacturer may be required to provide signage (POP), displays, labor to move the displays, and buy-back of merchandise that doesn’t sell. Want some interesting reading, try “slotting fees” in grocery stores....See MoreHVAC Estimate Advice (Costco/Lennox)
Comments (14)WOW! How long will it take to pay that back in energy costs? That's unbelievable. As a contractor, I usually defend higher pricing if the quality is there, but WOW! Here's my two cents. Find a reliable independent contractor. Find someone that has a reputation for honesty. I know that will be hard, but it can be done. A big box store ain't gonna get it. There are too many layers to take a chance. In the end. nobody will want to take responsibility if something goes wrong. A family owned, independent contractor knows the "buck stops here". Don't let someone sell you extremely overpriced equipment that you will NEVER pay back on energy savings. A 16 SEER single stage system will work just fine and will offer great energy savings, I promise. It will also be much more trouble free as it will not have most of the junk manufacturers put on the ultra high efficiency stuff so they can manipulate the SEER numbers (did I just say that?). Stick with the mid-range efficiency. You'll be glad you did. Don't do anything without someone verifying that your ducts are correctly sized and insulated. Your duct system comprises exactly half of your heating and air conditioning system. Most of the people I know that install this ultra high efficiency "stuff" end up with very inefficient equipment because their ducts are undersized, not properly insulated, and leaking. My money will be spent on the duct system FIRST, not last. After that, then go for efficiency. Before the duct system is corrected, don't waste money on "super boxes". That's my two cents and worth exactly what you paid, but I think good advice. Feel free to check out some of the articles I've written on my websiteHERE, Hope this helps!...See MoreLindex Ford
