The following are the rates that the builder is charging:

The home has a 2 zone heating

(a) Programmable Thermostat - $150.00
(b) Central Humidifier - $500.00
(c) Garage Door Opener - $550.00

Also I want to know should we convert the wood fireplace to a gas
fireplace ? Any advantages / disadvantages of one over the other ??

Should we go for coffered ceiling in the master bedroom ? The ceiling
height is 8ft.

Thanks

Very good choices for long term value.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the type of recessed light they use. We had
recessed lights spec'd in a house and they used the single wall
canister. I would make sure you are getting canisters that are designed
to be installed between conditioned air space and attic space, assuming
the two story family room ceiling does not have a floor above it.
