What Is HVAC Estimating?
HVAC estimating means pricing the heating, ventilation and air conditioning scope of a project. That includes equipment such as rooftop units, air handlers, furnaces, split systems and exhaust fans, plus the ductwork, piping, controls, insulation and labor needed to install it.
Ductwork alone can make or break a mechanical bid, because fittings, gauges and insulation add cost quickly. A careful HVAC takeoff from the mechanical drawings and equipment schedules keeps your number competitive without leaving money on the table.

How much does an HVAC estimate cost?
The price depends on the size of the building and the complexity of the mechanical scope. Send us your drawings and we will give you a fixed quote before we start.
How long does an HVAC estimate take?
Most HVAC estimates are delivered in 24 to 48 hours. Larger projects may take longer, and we confirm the timeline in your quote.
What drawings do you need?

Do you include labor in the estimate?
Yes. We include labor hours for each item and price them with current wage rates for your area, unless you only need quantities.
Can I get only an HVAC takeoff without pricing?
Yes. We can send quantities only, so you can apply your own material prices and labor rates.
