Terms of Service

Welcome to HVAC Cost Buddy. These Terms of Service ("Terms", "Terms of Service") govern your use of our website located at https://www.hvaccostbuddy.com (the "Service"), operated by HVAC Cost Buddy ("us", "we", or "our").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, you may not access the Service.

1. Use of the Service

HVAC Cost Buddy provides free, web-based tools to estimate HVAC installation and replacement costs. The Service is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

2. Disclaimer of Estimates and Accuracy

The most important section: The cost estimates, pricing breakdowns, and tonnage recommendations provided by our calculators are approximations based on regional averages, historical data, and general market trends.

• Estimates are not binding quotes or guarantees of actual final pricing.
• Actual HVAC installation costs vary drastically based on factors we cannot see, including your home's specific ductwork condition, electrical panel requirements, local permit fees, and the individual pricing of the contractor you select.
• You acknowledge that HVAC Cost Buddy is not an HVAC contractor and does not sell or install HVAC equipment.
• You should always consult with a licensed, local HVAC professional to receive a binding, official quote for your specific property.
