Price increases in material

[Nina Ibrahimbegovic]

So two and a half years ago I paid $5000 for brand new ducting and AC for a 1500 sq ft 3 bedroom home. Today I’m getting a 7000-9000 range for a one bedroom 500 sq ft duplex. How is that possible ?!?! I’m shocked. AC companies said the prices increased due to tariffs. What else have you seen an increase in ? Totally blew my numbers out of proportion !

I'm not seeing my prices go up like that due to anything (we build millions per year) . I find it hard to fathom the price difference unless the logistics for the smaller unit is different and more difficult. Maybe not as much attic space to work in? Units have gone up a bit due to an increase in conservation measures but not by that much.
