Trade scope
HVAC in Upstate SC
For builders: this scope, priced and leveled inside your Build Pack. For hvac contractors: real plan sets to quote, $150 only when you win.
How do I get hvac quotes in Upstate SC?
Your Build Pack prices heating and cooling as a designed system, not a tonnage guess: equipment brand and efficiency, duct design, zoning, and thermostats, from a licensed Upstate mechanical contractor. The scope sheet states SEER2 rating and system type so every bid describes the same comfort.
What the hvac scope sheet covers
- Load-based system sizing from the plans, not square-foot rules
- System type: heat pump, dual-fuel, or gas furnace with AC
- Equipment brand tier and SEER2 rating stated
- Complete ductwork, returns, and ventilation per design
- Zoning, thermostat count, and controls listed
- Rough-in and final phases with registers and startup included
Why do hvac bids come back so different?
An HVAC bid at 14.3 SEER2 builder-grade equipment and one at 16 SEER2 variable-speed are different products, not different prices. Leveling states equipment tier, tonnage, and zoning on matching lines, so you choose between systems on purpose instead of buying the cheapest mystery.
That is what bid leveling fixes, and every hvac bid in a pack arrives already leveled.
For contractors
HVAC work without buying leads
Licensed HVAC contractors are on BuildPack's priority recruiting list. You size and price from full plan sets, your quote enters packs exactly as you approved it, and the $150 per-scope fee applies only when a builder signs you.

Heat pumps handle Upstate winters well and dominate new construction here; dual-fuel setups add a gas furnace for the coldest snaps if gas is at the street. Your pack prices the system your plans and site support, with fuel type stated per bid.
Federal minimums for our region sit near 14.3 SEER2; stepping to 15 or 16 with variable-speed equipment buys quieter, more even comfort and lower bills. Because efficiency is the price driver, every HVAC bid in a pack states its rating on line one.
Most Upstate two-stories run two systems or one zoned system, because upstairs and downstairs never want the same air. Zoning belongs in the scope before bidding — it changes ductwork, controls, and price — so the pack's HVAC sheet states it explicitly.
