paying for services (HVAC)

Ous studio is about 1800 sq feet, and we have an average ceiling height of 12 feet. One of the partners uncles is doing the HVAC he quoted us $7,000 to do the job. Does this seem a little high price for HVAC, for a room of this size? Thanks, Brock

Seems high for a non-studio grade system, but not for one that can be left running while you record - has "uncle" ever done studio HVAC, or is he just putting in normal homeowner stuff and jacking the price? Steve

It may seem high for standard residential, but I think it depends on where you are at, who is doing it, and what they are putting in. My folks got an estimate last year for a roof mount HVAC, new ducts, grills etc, for a 1200 sq ft home in Sacramento California. They were quoted $7k to $9k. Nothing is cheap there anymore. fitZ :roll:

Thanks for the response guys. I was just in a little shock when I heard the price. But, with a few questions and assurance that I'm not going to hear any noise, I won't loose sleep over it.
