Sample proposals

Read a proposal before you ask for one

These two are made up, for houses like the ones we work on. Each line is a scope item. Yours would carry the total at the end.

  • Two zones: living room and main bedroom

    A 1926 Craftsman with plaster walls and electric baseboard heat. About 1,400 square feet, one floor and a basement.

    Wall head in the living room, on the long wall away from the front window
    Wall head in the main bedroom, above the dresser
    One outdoor unit, model and capacity named in the proposal
    Line set routed through the basement and up the old chimney chase
    Dedicated 240-volt circuit, if the panel has the room
    Condensate drain to the basement sink
    Permit, inspection and the inspector's sign-off
    Start-up check, remote set up and a walk-through of the schedule
    Packaging and old materials hauled away

Sample proposals. They state no price. A real proposal does, and says how many days it holds.

How to read yours

Whoever gives you a proposal, check that it has these six.

  • The rooms

    Every room is a line, so you can tell what is in and what is not.

  • The equipment

    Each model and capacity is named, so you can look it up or compare it.

  • The line sets

    The route is written down, so the plaster is not a surprise.

  • The electrical

    The circuit, and whether the panel needs work, is a line.

  • The permit

    The permit, the inspection and who is there for it.

  • What is left out

    Painting, furniture and insulation work, so you know the edges.

Questions on proposals

Is the walkthrough fee credited toward the work?

We tell you the walkthrough fee before we book it, and we say in writing whether it is credited if you go ahead.

How long does a proposal hold?

The proposal states how many days it holds. After that, the equipment cost or the schedule may have changed.

Can I take the proposal to another firm?

Yes. It is yours. If another firm's proposal is missing a line, ask for it.

What if the plan changes?

We agree in writing to any change before we do the work, with its cost.

Ask for a proposal like this

Send the age of the house and a photo of each room. We will plan the walkthrough.
