does anyone have any good contacts for heating/aircondition guy?

Oddy,

My brother Bill does HVAC installs. He's been working with Ibbotson Heating&AC for the last 4yrs

I could PM you his cell# if you like?

Even if you don't buy the AC unit from them, he might be able to do the install cheaper... ???

One of my friends works for his Dad who owns Hobson HVAC. I'll have him give you a call if you want???

yeah crazy...give him a buzz too.

the cheaper i can get it of course the better the savings is.


thanks guys

Hey Ken, give Peter a call at Econotemp. Their number is 630-963-8080. They can probably save you some money. Tell him that Sam, Kim's husband, referred you. They sold me a unit last year, which I installed myself for less than half of what I'd been quoted.

cool thanks sam

I know where you can get a good block of ice.:laughing

Basement is nice and cool this time of year...


What did the builder want for the AC unit? Like 4800 ? :laughing

A freind of mine does HVAC and he also does side jobs so he might be able to hook you up. Let me know if you want his cell #.

Whoo!

This is a good post because I'm also thinking of getting central air into the house. Unlike Ken though, I don't live in a huge mansion so I only need a 1 1/2 ton a/c. Have the furnace (needs cleaned though) and can help with install (running line sets, minor brazing) to lower the cost.

It should be super simple because it's only a 3 bedroom ranch.

Anybody do driveways? You all know how me and gravel get along..

awwwww! don't be so modest:bs :bs :bs :jester :jester :laughing

Hole in the wall...that house in my neighborhood would be $500-600mm. Vacant 1/4 lots go for $150mm. This real estate market is crazy...Greenspan just called it a bubble. That's not a good sign.

I need a bigger garage...2 bikes (plus one more soon) and two trucks. I can't even fit the big truck in the garge.

Anyone know what a 2+ detached garage goes for? I have plenty of room in the backyard. I woud need 100 feet of concrete driveway poured too to get back there.
