is there any website that shows wholesale or retail prices for central air conditioners / heat pumps ?
My Trane split system heat pump is 18/19 years old. starting to do to many repairs on it..would like to replace it this winter..would like to shop around to compare quality and cost so that when I do get vendors to give me quotes I will a least have an idea what I'm talking about..I am not having much luck finding a place on the web. It seems that nobody wants to tell you what the real prices are.

- try costco or sams club
- u will not find out the real cost because ur not a installer or dealer for their product...... quality wise..trane is great, 13 or higher seer......keep ur line set short and the correct size. lic. gen. contractor
- No qualified contractor is going to give you a firm price without looking at the job. trane has a web site, most of the manufactuers do.But you can't buy anything without a license
- You will only be able to compare prices through a licensed contractor, fair to say you will probably pay a healthy mark up. You will most likely have to buy a 13 SEER since the new law went into effect, but some dealers are still selling lower SEER units if they have them.
- Everyone is correct, you do have to be a licensed contractor to purchase their equipment and for most manufacturers, you have to be a dealer too. A price for a split system (3 ton 13 seer with 80% afue on the Furnace) installed would cost you around $3,000-4,000. The equipment would cost the installer around $1,000-2,000 to supply. Hope I was helpful!! =)
