Reply to comment by lost_in_life_34 in Estimate cost to replace HVAC by adig2021

150k combi boiler is still around $3k. They’re simply not that expensive, unless you need to buy multiple ones to manifold together. They’re all 96% efficient.

I understand you did your due diligence on it but hvac contractors don’t buy from hvac direct.

I’m glad you got a good install out of it.

I talked to 6 companies total. 2 never gave me quotes. 2 gave me what I didn't want. the two I considered the heating part was similar and they quoted me $15000 for a boiler replacement for a combi boiler and all new pipes, venting, etc.

​

the difference was the AC. at first I was going to go with bosch heat pumps but then changed to amana cause bosch supposedly has humidity issues

All of those heat pumps have humidity issues. The DX coils in them are simply too thin to dehumidify the air properly. They're not meant to dehumidify fresh air. Also nearly all indoor heat pumps are manufactured by the same company in China: Gree Electric.

Amana is USA but the parent is a Japanese company and Bosch is made by midea in China and just rebranded as Bosch
