Seing as you don't know anyone here, don't have anyone's
number, and no one here lives near you anyway, that shouldn't be much
of a problem.

There is. Write them a letter.

Many years ago when I worked in TV repair, you could
bill someone $5.00 labor and $50.00 parts and everything
was fine. When the bill was $50.00 labor and $5.00 parts
the customer would have a hissy fit. Guess how we made
out the bills.

I would like to do my own load calculations including the calculations
for the air ducts.
I currently have a central air conditioner and propane furnace. Would
like to install a geothermal system, but I need to do some
calculations to see if I need to put in larger air ducts.
So where do I find all the info needed to do the load calculations?
As HVAC contractors, how would you react to someone who came in with
the load calculations already done? Would you give a quote based on
them with the caveat that if selected you could inspect the house,
point out anything that would increase the cost, and adjust the quote?

It doesn't matter what you have or haven't done.... my pricing is all flat
rate. Its all inclusive for the complete job. Even if you do you own load
calcs, I would have to verify the calcs to make sure they are correct.
The question you have to ask yourself is this.... do you want it done
cheap?? or do you want it done right??

I would guess he bought it for another job and got stuck with it, or you
wanted to get started right away and it's the only unit that is a close
match for you at the local distributer. Who knows.
