Heat pump quote comparison checklist for Boston-area homes
Two printable pages for comparing ducted heat pump quotes on a house in Boston or the towns around it.
Holding two heat pump quotes that don't line up? This heat pump planning checklist from Clement Boston Heat Pumps helps you ask every installer the same questions, so the quotes compare like for like.
What's on the checklist?
Four short sections, each with boxes to tick and, where useful, lines to write on.
- Describe the house first. Write this down before anyone visits, so every quote answers the same problem.
- What every quote should show. A quote that leaves these out is hard to compare with one that includes them.
- Questions to ask each installer. Ask everyone the same questions and note each answer.
- What you should hold at the end. Keep these with the house records.
Why compare quotes line by line?
Two quotes for the same house can differ by thousands because they price different work. One includes a load calculation, duct changes and a service upgrade; the other sizes by rule of thumb and leaves the ducts alone.
The cost guide explains what moves a price, the questions to ask an installer guide goes deeper on each answer, and the Mass Save guide covers the rebate paperwork.
How should you use it?
- Fill in section 1 before the first visit.
- Take sections 2 and 3 to every installer you talk to.
- Tick off section 4 as you receive each document, and keep it with the house records.
