A second opinion on your AC replacement, in writing.

Free quotes often come with a sales visit, follow-up calls and a scope that is different for every AC contractor, so the totals are hard to compare. Your $99 pays us to write one spec, ask up to 8 licensed AC contractors to price that same spec in writing, and line up their answers item by item. Your phone number stays with us.

No. AC contractors do not get your name, email, phone or street address from us. Their replies come to us and show up on your private page. If you like a quote, tap "Introduce me" and we pass your name and email (and your phone, only if you choose) to that one AC contractor. Nothing is shared with the others.

We ask up to 8 licensed AC contractors, aiming for 5 written quotes. Not every AC contractor replies, which is why the money-back guarantee exists: if fewer than 3 quotes arrive within 10 days of sending, you get the full $99 back automatically.

Probably not for today. We send your spec within 1 business day of your approval, and contractors reply over the following days. If you need cooling now, call a licensed contractor directly. This service fits best when you have a few days, or when you already have a quote and want a second opinion before you sign.

Yes. Run the quote you have through our free proposal analyzer to see what it leaves out, and use Get 5 Quotes to have up to 8 other licensed contractors price the same job in writing. We do not share your existing quote with them.

Tonnage is the cooling capacity of the system. A bigger system costs more, and a system that is too big or too small for the house can run poorly. We ask every contractor to state the size and how they worked it out, so you can see when two quotes are for different sizes.

SEER2 is the efficiency rating used for new central AC and heat pump systems. A higher number uses less electricity for the same cooling and usually costs more up front. We ask each contractor to state the SEER2 rating of the matched system they are quoting.

The model numbers for the outdoor unit, air handler and coil tell you exactly what equipment you are buying, so you can look it up and check that the indoor and outdoor parts are a matched set. Without them, two quotes for "a new 3-ton system" can be very different things.

Replacing an AC system in Palm Beach County generally needs a permit and an inspection. We ask each contractor whether both are in their price.

Your city and ZIP, the system details you gave, your photos and the spec. Not your name, email, phone or street address.

From our list of AC contractors with a Florida license number on file who are based in or near your city. A person reviews each batch before it is sent. AC contractors cannot pay to be included, and they pay nothing to receive a request or if they are hired.

Some AC contractors will not give a final price without a visit. Their reply shows on your page as wanting to visit first, with their contact details, and you decide whether to call them. We never give them yours.

Refunds are automatic. If fewer than 3 quotes arrive within 10 days of sending, we refund the full $99 to your original card. Banks usually show it within 5 to 10 business days. You can also cancel any time before we send your request to AC contractors for a full refund.

We delete our copies 60 days after upload. Ac contractors we contacted keep the request and photos we sent them.

No. The comparison lines up what each AC contractor wrote. It does not score, rank or recommend anyone. The choice is yours.

Not yet. If you are elsewhere, our free proposal analyzer still works on any quote you already have.
