You can save money by going with the lowest hvac quote you can find, but the savings you’ll get are almost never worth it. Tetra might not be the cheapest hvac quote you can get, but you get so much more for your money — including 10 free years of repairs and maintenance on your system.
At a Glance:
- You can always get a cheaper system, but you’ll have to do more work and deal with unreliable contractors. Plus, it’s a pretty sure bet you won’t get any type of warranty.
- Tetra does things right the first time. We handle all permits and paperwork, while offering 10 free years of repairs and maintenance with our hvac warranty.
- Working with Tetra pays for itself by helping you avoid $200+ annual service visit fees, $15,000 replacements, and expensive fines if your project is completed without the proper permits or incorrect equipment.
Low hvac quotes will cost you more than you think
A super-low quote might seem like a great deal, but it comes with hidden risks and long-term headaches. Imagine if your furnace breaks down in the middle of winter and you can’t reach the installer.
Then, when you finally do, you’re looking at a $200-$400 service call plus the cost of material repairs. Even worse, the system could be installed without permits, leaving you vulnerable to fines up to $10,000 or having to replace the system entirely.
With Tetra, you’ll never worry about any of these issues. Learn more about the Tetra Fully Covered warranty.
When you cut corners with furnace or heat pump installations, you might save a little today, but you’ll pay a lot more later.
Immediate risks of low system quotes
Going with the lowest bidder can lead to big problems right away. Here’s just a few of the issues we often see:
- Unreliable technicians that can’t be reached when issues come up. Leaving you scrambling to find help or having to pay rush job fees.
- Expensive service visits between $200 and $400, each time you need repairs or maintenance.
- Off-brand equipment that doesn’t include an hvac warranty.
- Lack of permitting which means your installation isn’t up to code and you could be liable to expensive fines.
- You have to coordinate with other contractors for electrical upgrades
- Equipment that doesn’t meet rebate guidelines
- Equipment that can’t handle the heating and cooling requirements of the house
- Poorly installed equipment that causes an increase in utility bills
- Equipment that fails or is dangerous to the health and safety of your family. Heating and cooling equipment failure is the leading cause of home fires in the United States. It also can cause poor air quality

Now let’s get into the longer-term risks
The problems don’t stop after the install. With low-cost jobs, you’re setting yourself up for countless expensive issues later.
- Improper installs can void your rebate, costing you more when you least expect it.
- Selling your home becomes harder when your system is installed improperly or without a permit.
- Forget any type of maintenance support; you’re on your own when things break.
- Improper installations lead to inefficient systems and higher energy costs.
