While your furnace is currently operational, it was installed with the home in 2016, putting it at the 10-year mark (furnaces typically last 15-20 years, while ACs last 10-15).

Why consider replacing the whole system now?
Replacing the furnace and AC together saves a massive amount of duplicate labor costs compared to replacing the AC now and the furnace a few years later. Furthermore, installing a complete, brand-new Lennox system guarantees an "AHRI Matched" system—meaning the furnace and AC were engineered specifically to work together for maximum efficiency.

This option provides a direct, high-quality replacement for your entire current setup.

Scope of Work

1. Demolition

We will safely recover the old refrigerant and completely remove the existing AC, indoor coil, and aging 2016 furnace.

2. Full System Equipment (Lennox Merit)

The Furnace: We will install a reliable, new Lennox Merit single-stage gas furnace.

Air Conditioner: We will install a new Lennox Merit single-stage

Scope of Work:
Upgrade to a High-Efficiency US Boiler Alta Series system, offering superior energy savings, quiet operation, and modern sealed-combustion technology.

Heating & Hot Water:

Boiler Installation: The new high-efficiency wall-hung unit will be installed in the basement, on the wall in the vacinity of the old boiler.

Domestic Hot Water: This boiler is a combi model so it will act as a tankless water heater, providing domestic hot water for the home. Expect an additional 30-second delay in heating.

Condensate Management: As a high-efficiency unit, this system produces condensate (water). We will install a condensate pump to route this moisture automatically to the available basement drain.

Venting (Sidewall):

Chimney Retirement: The existing chimney will be capped off and no longer used.

New Intake/Exhaust: We will install new PVC fresh air intake and Centrotherm exhaust piping. These lines will route through the unfinished basement ceiling and penetrate the exterior wa

Sharon - Merrimack, NH 03054
Merrimack, NH - This proposal covers the complete removal of your existing standard bathtub and the professional installation of a premium Walk-In Therapy Tub. To ensure this new therapeutic tub fills quickly and operates flawlessly, we will be heavily upgrading the underlying plumbing to 3/4" lines and running new dedicated electrical circuits to power the jets and inline heater. We will also be coordinating with our trusted partner, Scott, to handle the final tile, drywall, and paint restoration once the plumbing installation is complete.

Scope of Work

1. Demolition & Area Preparation

Tear-Out: We will carefully disconnect and remove the existing bathtub and immediate wall surrounds.

Debris Removal: All old tub materials and job site demolition debris will be hauled away and properly disposed of.

Area Prep: We will prep the exposed floor and framing to securely accept the new, heavier walk-in tub unit.

2. Plumbing Rough-In & Upgrades

Water Line Upsizing: Walk-in tubs require high water volume
