First off, I am not here to say anything bad about HVAC guys, they are hard workers and they are earning their income fairly, and since they are all charging this much it means there are reasons behind this rate, and it is market rate.
Looking at the rate of a typical $2500-3000 for a furnace, and another $2000-3000 for install. I can see that HVAC guys need training, driving to and from customers, the unpaid quote giving work, installing and uninstalling, massive liability insurance, etc leads to the $2000-3000 installation cost. But still, why so much more than a gas dryer installation?
Regarding to the furnace, even the cheapest non Goodman cost like $2k easily. Compare to a water heater or gas laundry dryer of similar rating (say 60000 BTU), why is it so much more expensive?
It also seems like mini-split shouldn't be too expensive to install, but it seems like it still is. What gives?
