What it costs · the Riverbend

What a new system costs, and how to pay for it

The honest answer is that it depends on your house, and anyone who quotes you a firm number over the phone is guessing. Here is what actually moves the price, why two quotes for the same house can be thousands apart, and how financing works if you would rather not pay it all at once.

What we fix

What actually moves the number

The size your house needsSizing comes from a load calculation, not a guess or whatever was there before. An oversized system costs more up front and runs worse.
The efficiency you chooseHigher-efficiency equipment costs more to buy and less to run. Steve shows you the tradeoff instead of steering you.
The condition of your ductworkLeaky or undersized ducts can undo a new system. Sometimes that work matters more than the badge on the box.
Whether it is one piece or the full systemA furnace, a condensing unit, and an A-coil are separate pieces. Replacing them together often makes more sense than one at a time.
Gas, heat pump, or dual fuelHow your home makes heat changes both the install and what you pay every month afterward.
Who is doing the quotingA national brand builds call-center and sales margin into the number. Steve quotes it himself, so that layer is not there.
Financing

You do not have to pay for it all at once

A full system replacement is one of the larger bills a house hands you, and it rarely arrives at a convenient moment. Financing is available on bigger jobs, so ask Steve about it when he quotes the work. He will walk you through the options at your table alongside the number itself, so you can see the monthly cost next to the job instead of guessing at it later.

Steve prices the job himself and explains every line before you decide. There is no call-center markup, no commission on the sale, and no pressure to buy more system than your house needs.

“Steve is my hero! He showed up on time, explained my problems with the gas line, fixed it all for a SUPER price in 2 hours! I had 2 other bids from well known companies in the Wood River/Alton areas and they were $1200 higher than Janssen. Steve is the nicest guy, honest, and likes helping people. Call him, you will thank me later.”

How it works

How to read any quote you get

1

Ask what size and why

A good quote can tell you the size it landed on and the reasoning. If nobody measured anything, be careful.

2

Ask what is actually included

Furnace, condensing unit, A-coil, thermostat, duct work, permits, haul-away. Two quotes rarely include the same list.

3

Ask who does the work

At Janssen the owner who quotes it is the one who installs it, which is not how most companies your size work.

4

Ask about the monthly cost

Between financing and what a more efficient system saves on bills, the sticker is only half the picture.

Good questions

Answers before you call

It depends on the size your home needs, the efficiency you pick, and the shape of your ductwork, so an honest number takes a look at the house. Steve quotes the full system himself, explains every line, and never invents a figure to get in the door.

Yes. Financing is available on larger jobs like a full system replacement. Ask Steve when he quotes the work and he will walk you through the options at your table.

Usually because of what is included and who is quoting. National brands build call-center and commission margin into the price. Steve quotes it himself, so that layer is not in the number.

Yes, and he is glad to. Bring the quote and he will tell you honestly whether the size, the scope, and the price look right for your home.
