What affects the installation cost?
Equipment selection
System size, efficiency, operating sound and features all influence the price. We explain the differences between suitable models so you can choose based on your needs and budget.
Electrical requirements
We review the electrical requirements of the proposed equipment. Some installations require circuit changes or an electrical service upgrade, while others can use the existing capacity.
Ductwork and airflow
For central systems, we assess the existing ductwork and connections. Any recommended modifications are explained as part of the installation proposal.
Equipment location and access
The distance between indoor and outdoor equipment, piping routes, mounting arrangements and access to the work area can affect installation costs.
Removal of existing equipment
Replacing an older system may involve additional removal work. For an oil conversion, this can include the furnace and oil tank. Your quote will clarify what is included and whether separate arrangements are needed.

Comparing your options
Installation cost is one part of the decision. Comfort, operating costs, equipment condition and warranty coverage also matter. We explain the options without assuming that the most expensive system is the best fit.
If your existing furnace is compatible and in good condition, adding a heat pump may be an option. If both systems need replacing, we can quote a complete installation.
