How the math works

Base equipment cost varies 4-5× across system types — air-source at $3,500-$10,000 vs. geothermal at $12,000-$35,000. We scale that by tonnage (rule-of-thumb: ~1 ton per 600 sqft, refined for climate), SEER tier (each tier adds 25-60% to equipment cost), and ductwork condition. The Inflation Reduction Act §25C federal credit deducts up to $2,000 from your final number when eligible.
