Default DIY HVAC Zoning?

Frank, I'm with you on this one. Got three estimates to replace an old heat
pump along with an eclectic furnace. Prices from highly advertised
companies were, $ 8,500, $ 9,700 and $ 10,200.

Got hooked up with a 'friend of a friend' who would do the same installation
(all Carrier equipment). Total bill came to $ 2,400 and the installer made
about $ 150 per hour for his on site labor. Lots of overhead and profit in
this business.
