Furnace Installation Cost Survey

The US Department of Energy sets minimum efficiency standards for residential heating and cooling equipment, including natural gas furnaces.  In order to set efficiency levels that most accurately capture the effects on consumers and contractors, ACCA and the heating manufacturers’ association, AHRI, is conducting a survey of installation costs. In addition we are seeking some information on markup practices. This survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete. Please complete based on the business your company did in 2014. Of course, all responses will be kept anonymous unless you want a call back. Thank you for your cooperation.

Note: For the current DOE activity to revise the minimum efficiency standard for residential gas furnaces, DOE is using a baseline furnace model with the following characteristics:

Input: 80,000 Btu/h
AFUE: 80%
Blower: 1200 cfm

Please base your answers on providing a model of similar input and blower capacity.
