Cost drivers

## What Moves a Commercial HVAC Quote Up or Down?

The ranges above are honest averages. These are the site conditions that push a job toward the top or bottom of each range.

### Tonnage and unit type

A 3-ton gas/electric unit and a 20-ton dual-circuit packaged unit are different machines. Heat pump RTUs cost more up front and qualify for Enbridge HER+.

### Crane reach and permits

Parking-lot lifts are simple. Downtown lifts over a street need ROW and street occupancy permits, traffic control and weekend windows.

### Curb fit

A new unit on a matching curb is fast. Legacy York or Carrier footprints need a custom curb adapter, which we fabricate in-house.

### Structure

Heavier replacement units, especially at 15-25 tons, may need a structural engineer review and reinforcement before the lift.

### Electrical and controls

Service upgrades, new disconnects and BAS integration with Honeywell, Metasys or Desigo add cost but remove headaches later.

### Rebate eligibility

High-efficiency equipment that qualifies for Save on Energy can take $200-$1,500 per ton off the final invoice.

### Is there a fee for the site assessment?

There is no consult fee for an install, replacement or maintenance quote. Repair visits are billed as a diagnostic at $275-$425 in business hours, and you get a written tally before any repair work starts.

### What is included in an installed RTU price?

Installed ranges cover the unit, crane, curb check, standard connections, startup and a commissioning report. Structural reinforcement, City of Toronto ROW permits, electrical service upgrades and custom curb adapters are shown as separate lines on the written quote when a site needs them.

### How does the 25/50/25 payment schedule work?

25% is due when equipment is ordered, 50% on install day and the final 25% on commissioning sign-off. 94% of installs close out the commissioning payment within 10 days of startup. Commercial and PM accounts can use Net-30 terms.

### How are Save on Energy rebates handled on the invoice?

We file the pre-audit and application before equipment is ordered. Once approved (4-8 weeks), the rebate of $200-$1,500 per ton is netted against your final invoice, so you pay the rebate-net price.

### What are your hourly labour rates?

$185/hr in business hours, $280/hr after-hours and $425/hr on weekends. After-hours and weekend call-outs run $425-$650. R-410A refrigerant is $85/lb.

### Do prices include HST?

No. Published prices are CAD before HST. Every written quote shows HST on its own line so the total is clear.
