Planning estimate only — pricing is not guaranteed. Displayed amounts are approximate, not contractor quotes, bids or offers. Actual costs may fall outside the range. A contractor must assess your property and provide an official written estimate or quote before you agree to proceed. The contractor’s written terms govern pricing, inclusions, exclusions and changes. Retrofit Network does not guarantee costs, rebate eligibility, rebate payments or energy savings.
Sizing matters
A cooling system should be sized for the home, not chosen only by square footage. Ask how the contractor approaches sizing and airflow.
Startup and commissioning
Ask what is included after installation: refrigerant checks, airflow checks, thermostat setup, and homeowner handoff.
