I had a contractor over to get a estimate for a replace furnace and central
air unit. Both units are over 20 years old. The central unit went last
summer so I knew I had to replace the unit in spring. There is no way for
the average person to know what is fair price for the purchase and
installation of the two units. I went with a Trane central air and hot air
furnace to replace my old Lennox units that were there when the house was
built.
The units I am having installed are XR14-024 and XR80-60 furnace. As I am
switching to the R410A Refrigerant several lines have to be replaced. What's
a ballpark price for the two units and installation.

Ballpark price?? Anywhere from $1,000 to $1,000,000,000 depending on how big
the ballpark is.
Are they installing a new touch screen thermostat?? Are they providing IAQ
filteration?? Are they providing a 10 year parts and labor warranty?? Is the
furnace in a closet or attic or basement or crawl?? Are they replacing
ductwork?? Is all the ductwork tin or flex??
Its not about cost, its all about the quality of the installation, not the
equipment. you can have the cheapest POS equipment with a top quality
installation, and you should have a serviceable system, OTOH, you can have
the very best, top quality equipment with a crappy installation, and you got
junk. If you have a top quality installation of the very best equipment, you
will get many years of quiet, efficient, trouble free operation from your
comfort system.

noonie only wants to rant. The man's question was: "What's a ballpark
price for the two units and installation."
Noonie isn't about helping the customer. It's about lining his pockets.
The fact that noonie posts technically clueless shit here and then wants
to claim he's "competent" is laughable. The latest being the oil
sightglass tirade he made about stormy's RIF post.
That he still has to heavily advertise and coax leads from a supplier in
order to obtain work also says alot.
His educate the customer rants is all about how they don't spend enough
money and to spread his sales pamphlet bullshit.
He can't walk his talk.
