% of the house build, like 4% to 7% seems a ridiculous way to provide a cost estimate. A way only a builder would love. Per square foot seems more reasonable. For that price you could put a Lexus in the attic. Stupid margins on this low tech gear. Not a lot of real technology or materials cost there. 3 to 5 grand for a dehumidifier? What a joke. Matt, you live in a fake world. Everything in your house is given free. You should start caring about the ridiculous pricing for this stuff.
If Matt did affordable homes he probably loose his mind on the small budget ... 😂
$70,000 for HVAC in a million dollar house! I’m in the wrong business!!! I know for a fact all those materials are NO more than $20,000. HUGE profit margin.
Right. 40k on HVAC, when the average owner stays in the house 5 years and will never recoup that money when they go to resell. I would love to see a dopey realtor talk to be about R values, and MIRV filtration.
As an HVAC owner/operator and license holder this is a great video. I wish all of customers would listen to me when we talk HVAC in the beginning stages of projects. The select few that do are extremely pleased with the results. Great job Matt and Miguel!
'We spent an additional $100K on heating, air, and insulation and saved over $10 dollars per year in energy costs'. LOL
I call bull on $40k....
99% of the investors will never go for 40-70k hvac budget lol
Why am I watching this again?
Looking at Positive Energy's website, they're charging $6/sq ft for design services and tell customers to assume $20-$25/sq ft total installed costs. That's completely ridiculous to me. In a 2500 sq ft house, I pay these guys $15,000 to design this system, and ultimately pay $50,000 to $60,000 to have it completed...? I don't know what construction costs are where the rest of you live, but in Tennessee you can build a pretty nice house for $150/sq ft, and to think that ~15% of that would be in HVAC is asinine.
I have put in many systems and I always put systems in a second floor closet and returns from bedrooms came down next to unit. This minimizes ductwork. I made a plenum and installed dampers in the plenum. Power Open/ Close. I put in a fresh air return into the sophet or wall. I chose not to put dampers on the fresh air. Either a 5" or 4" duct was used. This compensated for any pressure differntial caused by bathroom fans on. Even with the system off, the negative pressure caused by the fart fan would pull filtered air through the house. A 3000 foot house 2 story with isonene would be about $12000. I built a plenum in the downstairs near the center of the house and all down ducts were off that. Sizing of ducts to each room was done using Wrightsoft. Been using it since 1998. The zone controller handled the staging but on the communicating systems the Thermostat did that.
Our 4300 square foot, two story house was built in 2002. It has three 2.5 ton units. One is for the master bedroom, master bath, and the home office. This approach saves us a ton of money. We can close off our bedroom and run that unit at night while the rest of the house does not have to be heated or cooled at the same temp we want in the bedroom at night. My cost to upgrade or replace one of those smaller units is much less compared to replacing a single large unit. So far all three units are still working. I had to replace the circuit board in one unit two years ago. I did that myself, because my service guy was traveling out of state. He services my units every year, cleans the coils, checks freon levels, cleans the burners, etc.
As a construction electrician that has dealt with hospital HVAC installs and now the proud owner of a century home, I completely agree. My house breathes better than most people and I absolutely hate it. These videos are really helping me tune my budget and my focal point on purpose built equipment to make my house a better cleaner version that its current self.
As a licensed hvac contractor,i must say that is a fantastic job. I do a fair amount of new construction(cleveland,oh.) and builders and customers are woefully ignorant of the costs as well as the time/labor which goes into an above average installation (energy star standards). At least equipment mfg,s are producing the equipment needed for this type of work. The duct-work is critical and i was glad to hear Miguel point that out. Outstanding work !!!!
Crazy didn't realize how much goes into some of these systems. Never seen one like this in person, only traditional installs
I work for a commercial mechanical company . All these things have existed in commercial installations for a long time it’s great to see them find their way into the residential home
“So what does a typical unit cost here”
It's refreshing to finally see someone talk about long flex runs. As an HVAC contractor in the Northeast, long flex runs are not common practice. However, most HVAC channels based in the south, flex is all you see. You also don't see many GC's talking or caring much about the HVAC systems. Love the content Matt, keep up the good work.
Dream system for those with allergies!
Best video yet on the foundations of a great HVAC system. Makes me want to build another house!
