What’s Included

Includes labor and materials for forced air systems: furnace(s), A/C condenser(s), refrigerant lines, ductwork, registers, grilles, and thermostats. High-efficiency units, zoning, humidifiers, ERVs/HRVs, and mini-splits may be priced as upgrades. Pricing is based on home size, story count, duct layout, and whether multiple zones or systems are needed. Includes full install from rough-in to final startup.

Builder Tips:

In cold areas like Park City, dual fuel systems or heat pumps with backup gas are common. In hot southern Utah (St. George), larger condenser units and multiple returns help beat extreme heat. Zoning is ideal for multi-story homes. Ask if smart thermostats or duct sealing are included in your bid. For basements, confirm if returns and supply ducts are sized appropriately.
