HELP NOTES
Type Your Preferred Brand Details:
The question “What is the Best Brand?” would require a lengthy answer and can be a matter of opinion. LPAC offers
any brand you prefer or we can recommend a brand. If you don’t know a brand, just type in; LPAC brand.
Unit Tons/Size
Selections: 1 ½ , 2, 2 ½ , 3, 3 ½ , 4, 4 ½ , 5
Details: If you don’t know, use this simple calculation. Your total air conditioned square footage x 21 ÷ 12,000, this is your estimated
tonnage. Round the calculated number up to the nearest ½ ton. Remember, this is an estimated cost. Later, we will provide you an actual
engineered Load Calculation to confirm the proper tonnage prior to installation, No Charge To You
Efficiency Rating
Selections: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
Details: The higher the efficiency, the higher the cost … but the lower your power bill. The lower the efficiency, the lower the
cost … but the higher your power bill. Buying a higher efficient unit is an investment … you will get savings that will pay
you back. To learn more about how to get high efficiency savings with a payback, click on “savings that will pay you back”. Choosing efficiency
will affect the unit replacement cost more than any other factor.
Preferred Type of Heat
Selections: Electric Strip Heat, Heat Pump, Gas Furnace
Details: This choice is more about personal preference than anything else. There are pros and cons for all three. It would be a lengthy
discussion so for the purposes of this estimate, Electric Strip Heat units are the least expensive. Heat Pumps and Furnaces cost about
the same. If you are not sure, go with Electric Strip Heat.
Thermostat Type
Selections: Digital Standard, Programmable w/ Dehumidification, WIFI with Remote Access
Details: Depending on your comfort level with “technology” and just how much environmental control you want will determine this choice.
If you’re not sure, go with Digital Standard.

If you have a DUCTLESS mini split type system, go with Split System.

Ducts Replaced # of Vents
Selections: 5 through 18 supply and return vents, not requested

designed properly. In most cases it’s a good idea to reuse your vents, while replacing ductwork. Simply count all your air supply outlet
vents and air return intake vents. Go with the total number here.
Ducts Cleaned # of Vents
Selections: 5 through 18 supply and return vents, not requested
Details: If you’re not sure about Duct Replacement, you should consider Duct Cleaning. Harmful bacteria, viruses and pathogens accumulate
inside your ductwork overtime. They should be removed or destroyed. Simply count all your air supply outlet vents and air return intake
vents. Go with the total number here.
Ultraviolet Lights
Selections: Single Bulb, Double Bulb, not Requested

bulbs are the most effective. UV Lights work best with Indoor Air Quality Pleated Filters.
Pleated Filters

out as much as possible before they are caught up inside your unit. Pleated Filters work best with Indoor Air Quality (UV) Lights.

This is an estimate only and is not an exact quote or contract. Estimates are your “out of pocket” approximate cost. In some cases a site survey will be recommended to confirm the exact scope of work. Prior to starting the work we will provide you a written exact quote. Taxes are included and any applicable rebates are already credited to you in the estimate.
Warranties – Replacement unit estimates carry the standard registered manufacturer’s warranty (usually 10 years Compressor, coils, and parts). LPAC provides a 1 year on site Labor warranty for any parts that are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Details vary per manufacturer.
LPACs Online Estimate System gives you the opportunity to estimate the cost of many of our air conditioner products and services including:
- Duct cleaning
- Vent cleaning
- Central air conditioning installation and repair
- Heating and cooling maintenance services
- Air conditioners’ repair services
- New heating and air conditioner systems
- Most air conditioner system repairs
Our online estimate system provides you with an approximation of the amount of money you might expect to spend on various air conditioner system services. The online estimate feature can also be used to compare prices between alternative services where you have been given options between two or three different types of repairs or replacement parts for your system. Many times you will find, after preparing several estimates, that it is more economical and efficient to replace your entire outdated central air conditioning system than it is to replace major pieces of the system. For example, you might want to use the online estimate system to compare the differences in price estimates between replacing an air conditioner compressor and installing an entirely new central air conditioning system.
You might also wish to compare the estimates from one AC company with another AC company for vent or duct cleaning or the same heating and cooling maintenance or air conditioner installation services. It is always important to make sure you are comparing apples to apples when comparing estimates from various HVAC contractors, as not all AC company “duct” cleaning services for example, may include the same added services as another AC company when they clean air ducts.
After you have had an opportunity to use our Online Estimate System to compare estimates from various AC companies, you will want to contact one of LPAC’s offices to schedule an appointment for a written, exact estimate for the air conditioning work you wish to have done. The next time you find yourself in need of heating and cooling maintenance services, call one of our Bradenton area LPAC offices, and let us show you how to keep your cool!
