Every price on HomeQuotr comes from building permits filed with city and county governments. When a contractor pulls a permit, they declare the project value. We aggregate those declared values to show you what homeowners in your city actually paid. Not surveys. Not estimates. Not self-reported data.

The biggest factors include system type and equipment quality, project scope (new installation vs. replacement vs. repair), property size, accessibility, and local building code requirements. Additional costs can come from necessary structural modifications, disposal of old equipment, or upgrades required by current code.
