What is a fair price for 2 ton, 14 seer air conditioner replacement? If you want specifics:

- Install digital 7 day programmable thermostat.
- A new custom designed supply air plenum. We will reconnect all the existing ducts to the plenum and make sure they are properly sealed with mastic.
- A new custom designed return air plenum/transition.
- A 5” pleated filter box will be installed at the indoor unit. This will make your system more energy efficient and the filter will only need to be changed twice a year.
-A weather resistant pad will be installed under the condenser. Due to the size of the new condenser, we will put it on the right side of the downstairs condenser.
- Vent pipe will be properly sized and installed for the new furnace and the downstairs gas furnace. A professional roofer will be used to install the roof jack, cap, collar, and flashing.
- We will install a Ceiling Saver kit under the indoor unit. This includes a full emergency drain pan, two safety switches, and stands to keep the unit level.
This will help protect you from water damage should your unit ever develop a water leak.
- We will properly connect all drain lines, gas lines, and high and low voltage electrical connections per code as needed.

Not sure about pricing where you're at, but in 2014, my wife and I had a 3.5 ton 14 seer installed in our house in Tuscaloosa - which included removal of old unit - for a little over $6,000.

I don't see where you specify the brand of unit that they will install. also, assuming the unit heats as well, is that a gas unit and if so, what is the efficiency of the gas unit.

One 2 ton, 410a, 14 SEER Amana air conditioning and gas heat system.
2) This Amana system comes with a 10 year parts, compressor, and coil warranty per the manufacturer.

$9K strikes me as just a tad on the high side, but it looks like they will do a pretty decent install, which is supremely important.

do they specify any type of annual service plan after the initial install or would that be extra?

That's high. Last year I paid 7500 for a Ruud 2 stage 4 ton. Another company quoted amana and it was really high also. Like 12 or 13k for similar unit to what I got. Get another quote.

that is worth a few hundred dollars.

are there any extenuating circumstances ...is the attic unit a particularly long distance from the attic stairs?...will the attic unit fit through the existing attic door?....

I paid 8K in 2007 for a Lennox 21 seer, two stage system, for a 2500 sq ft house. My previous AC must have been really inefficient as I noticed my electric bill (all electric home) went down about 60- 70 bucks a month immediately. I keep it on 75 all the time and have been very happy with it. It runs in low speed except for the hottest summer afternoons.
