In the process of buying a new home. 2500 square feet, 2 stories,
forced air (gas). Contractor wants to charge $4,000 for a 2 zone
heating/ac system. Does this sound about right or should I get it done
after construction is finished.

Hi,
Not enough info. What components were quoted? Does it include
installation? Is it firm price? Is he just adding cooling onto
existing furnace? What model and specs.? Your location?, etc., etc.

It may cost more or even be impossible to zone after construction. If you
don't think it is a good deal, get a heating contractor now to give you some
ideas of what can be done, as well as get some details of what your builder
is proposing.

None of us can see your layout so none of us can be very accurate.

Additional information: It is a firm price. Includes installation.
Home found in PA. Contractor will plug ac into the zone system.
