2. What the Quote Clearly States
- A 3-ton cold-climate heat pump described as “Hyper Heat” is proposed.
- The quote lists capacity percentages at 5°F and –13°F.
- A new 50-foot line set, disconnect, and whip are included.
- Return-drop sizing, supply-plenum sealing, and a filter-rack upgrade are listed.
- A Kumo Cloud thermostat, permit, and commissioning report are included.
- The written warranties are twelve years for parts, twelve years for the compressor, and two years for labor.
- The installed total is $18,900.
3. What Remains Unspecified
- The exact outdoor and indoor model numbers tied to the stated capacity figures.
- The indoor design temperature, load calculation, and assumptions used to select the 3-ton capacity.
- Whether auxiliary or backup heat is included and how it would be controlled.
- The exact return-drop, plenum, and filter-rack specifications.
- Breaker, circuit, panel, drain, removal, disposal, and finish-restoration scope.
- Which measurements and test results will appear in the commissioning report.
- Warranty registration requirements and exclusions.
4. Questions Suggested by the Wording
- “Which exact indoor and outdoor model numbers support the listed cold-weather capacity figures?”
- “What load calculation and design temperatures were used to select the system size?”
- “Is auxiliary or backup heat included, and how is it controlled?”
- “Could you provide the return, plenum, filter-rack, electrical, drain, removal, and restoration scope?”
- “Which readings and test results will be included in the commissioning report?”
- “Who handles warranty registration, and what exclusions apply?”
What This Example Demonstrates
ClarityHeat can translate the specifications and identify what the quote commits to. It does not verify laboratory claims, predict utility costs, approve system sizing, or decide whether the listed package and price are appropriate for a particular property.
