Hello,
I was wandering how much I should pay a contractor to install 3 new
gas furnaces for my multi-family house? I already got an estimate of
$2000 for labor for installing each furnace, so $6000 in total for
labor only! Is this a realistic price? I live in Massachusetts....
Thank you to all who might want to share their knowledge about this
matter.
Vladimir.

Impossible to say without a lot more information. Get three or four more
estimates in order to get a good idea of the cost.

How many bids did you get, did you think about one unit zoned to 3
apartments. It took 2 guys 4 hrs to put in mine, Nobody can estimate
your job without looking at it. What brand and model unit are you
thinking of buying.

Ther is also no mention of what type of furnace. I am going to assume
hot water, and water systems cost more money for some reason.
Seems like around here, at least for air systems, a contractor
gets about double what the actual furnace costs. For $2200 you can get a new
efficient hot air system at about 70K BTU's, labor included.
I lived in Mass in one house that had steam heat. I don't know if steam
is still around.
