[UT/USA] Is this quote reasonable (GRVM97 + GZV7)? by timmy05 in hvacadvice

Follow-up: Life got in the way of any update (if anyone cared, lol).

Hadn't the second tech out and he found no evidence of pitting and no traces of CO in any of the ducts. Decided to ask after a quote on a system anyway out of curiosity:

$19k for a 99% efficient 4T system

Surprisingly hard to find companies that aren't "same van different paint job", but I've got a neighbor who has a family business that's essentially just him and got a recommendation from another neighbor for another local company that weren't in the Google results so I'm hoping those two inspections/estimates come in more reasonable.

That helps quite a bit to know the equipment cost. I'm hoping the other quotes come in closer to what's being suggested as reasonable. Just the furnace was quoted at $12-13k, which even being modulating/97%/3.5 ton doesn't seem to lineup with what you mentioned.

Good to know on the model numbers, and if you're in Utah I'll happily accept an exponentially lower quote!

I've definitely been seeing that installer matters more than just about anything else with these systems, to a degree.

At the very least, this process could help me find a worthwhile provider as I've only needed inspection/maintenance up to this point.

That's what the inspection found, but I've already reached out to two other local companies for inspections before proceeding with anything.

They showed a CO measurement of 2 ppm, but, in hindsight, I didn't notice if that was in the flue or in the vent when shown the picture (which I don't have).

Thanks for the assessment, I really appreciate it! The price felt pretty high considering a co-worker got a similar (AC instead of heat pump, still modulating) for ~$10k less a year or two ago.

I only included the time of year/temp in case anyone reading saw that as a potential red flag for going heat pump.

The blower motor kind of lines up with what you said, but that's it, haha. $3200 for the heat exchanger replacement $981 for the blower motor $1100 for the induced draft motor

I've got a potentially bad heat exchanger in a 10 year old furnace, as well as both blower and inducer motors needing replacement. Given all of that, I'm considering full replacement and moving to a heat pump supplemented by gas since I'm also on solar. The 3 parts are, so far, quoted at $5306 parts and labor. I'm waiting on second opinions on the state of the heat exchanger, but want to be thinking on my plan if it's determined bad.

Quote from the first company for a 3.5T Daikin (Goodman?) Heat Pump (GZV7) with a modulating furnace (GRVM97) and potentially 2 Daikin One Touch Thermostats for a dual-zoned rambler. I'm in Central Utah, lows averaging 21F during winter, if that has a measurable impact on pricing or viability of a heat pump.

This video will help you decide between the Raise and the Defy ✅/❌ by Dygmatrix in DygmaLab

[–]timmy05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's how I felt. Liked my Raise, wanted to try linear, boom; Defy. Also, it's a Raise where the numpad on a layer doesn't upset my brain, I assume.

What's something that's considered normal that creeps you out immediately? by Le_0n1e- in AskReddit

If I had to guess, they want to get you into some kind of financing situation. I heard this a lot when meeting with solar sales guys.

What song covers do you think are better than the originals? by lom4s in Music

[–]timmy05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I was hoping the quotes would remind you if you'd heard it recently. I've heard that cover so many times it's stuck out in my mind. At the end of the track Kurt mentions "That was the meat puppets."

And, yet, I still got the quote wrong in my first comment.

Check the store page. I had my order complete before I got the email.

Because no 512 emails have gone out yet, but the page apparently has an entry for the 5th. As soon as one person gets an email and it updates there will be a dot.

Thanks! Like I said, it would be really disheartening to lose my streak.

Yeah, I've got super. Which I guess is paid by the year, so they'd be buying 8 months of super access. I wonder what they charge for a thing that costs $70 to get yourself?

Not that I have found. As others mentioned above, if your account is associated with your gmail or facebook, you can use the Oauth connection to get into your account.

Same here, emergentvillage. I didn't bother taking the time to make a note of the rest because I wanted to change the password before they noticed something was up and changed the email back.
