The estimates I have for a new HVAC system are one-liners
- just cost, no breakdowm of material and labor.
First, there should be a breakdown because there is no
reason to pay sales tax on labor.
Second, where does one find the actual cost of an HVAC
system?
Finally, what is a rough estimate of labor hours to
remove an existing system and install a new system
presuming it's an outside/inside system?

Price depends on where you live also. For example, labor costs in the
south are usually a lot less than in the northeast.
I just had a 3 ton, 14 SEER, 410A freon, w/80k furnace installed by
the best rated company in town for $4250. They removed the old unit,
installed the new one, and were gone in 5 hours.

Here in Texas you only pay tax on labor when the job is for a commercial
job. Who ever gave you a quote should be able to tell you what you need to
know.

If the company can not tell you what you what to know, get another company
or asked the owner of the company for answers. They do not want to lose a
sales call because the salesman does not know the answers.

Most jobs will take 2 days. First day they remove the existing system and
start putting in the new system then the second day they finish up.

Did mine in about 5 hours
Box trucked dropped off the comp and AH
2 techs showed up 30 min later
AH was a direct fit, so others may take longer
