HVAC Replacements
Flat-rate HVAC replacement. The quote is the invoice.
When a system dies in the heat or the cold, you need a number you can send the owner today. Lula prices furnace, straight cool, and straight cool with heat pump swaps up front, with installation and haul-away of the old equipment already in the price.
- Goodman equipment, bought through Lula’s manufacturer partnerships
- 10-year parts and 1-year labor warranty on every install
- Installed within 3 business days of your approval

Approve it, and the invoice matches.
The same rate in every market
A replacement is priced by system and capacity, so a portfolio spread across metros budgets it once.
A PDF estimate you can forward
System, capacity, scope, and price on a page an owner can approve without you rewriting it.
Extras show before you approve
Anything outside the standard scope is on the estimate, so nothing new appears at billing.
When the system fails
A dead system is a clock you cannot pause
The resident has no cooling or no heat, the owner wants an answer, and the replacement decision gets made under pressure on whatever number arrives first.
Bids cost you days
Three quotes means three site visits, three diagnostic charges, and a week of the resident waiting. The scopes rarely match, so the comparison barely holds.
Invoices outrun the quote
A number quoted on the phone grows once the old unit is out and the line items appear. The variance conversation with the owner is yours to have.
Nothing to send the owner
A capital item needs a written scope and a fixed number. Without them, approval stalls while the home sits uncomfortable.
The catalog
Three replacement types, each priced flat
Pricing is set by the system you have and its capacity, so it never depends on who happens to be free that week.

No add-ons at billing
A typical quote prices the equipment. Lula prices the job.
Most replacement invoices land above the quote because the extras are billed separately. Lula counts them before you approve.

A few things sit outside the standard scope, and each one shows on the estimate before you approve it: hard-to-reach installs such as a unit in an attic, higher-rated equipment (the flat rate reflects base-level equipment), and special project requirements. Pricing may change over time, so ask for current numbers on the systems you are watching.

How it works
From failed unit to new system in three steps
You approve once. Lula handles the scheduling, the install, and the old equipment.
Send the specs, or book a diagnosis
Already have the system details? The price comes back without a site visit. If not, a Pro diagnoses the unit, and that fee is waived once you approve the replacement.
Approve the PDF estimate
The system, capacity, scope, and price arrive in writing. Forward it to the owner as is, and approve when they sign off.
Installed within 3 business days
A vetted Pro fits the new equipment and takes the old unit away. The invoice matches what you approved.
Compare your options
Three ways to replace a failed system
Each route gets a new unit installed. They differ in how the price is set and how much of the work lands on your team.
| Compare | Use Lula | Collect bids yourself | Hire a local HVAC contractor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the legwork | Lula schedules a vetted Pro from 9,000+ in 50+ markets | Your team calls, schedules, and compares every bid | You find and vet a contractor in each market |
| How the price is set | Flat rate by system and capacity | Three quotes on three different scopes | Their own quote, often itemized after the fact |
| Haul-away, refrigerant, permit | Included | Varies by bid | Often added as line items |
| Parts warranty | 10 years when registered | Varies by bid | Commonly 1 year |
| What the owner sees | A PDF estimate ready to forward | A comparison you build | The contractor’s quote format |
Who does the work
Vetted, licensed, and insured Pros on every install
A fixed price on a capital item only holds if the install is held to the same standard every time. The Pros who fit your equipment are vetted before they take a job in your portfolio.

Frequently asked
Flat-rate HVAC replacement questions
How do I see what an HVAC replacement costs?
+
Request a PDF estimate through the form on this page or your account manager. Pricing is shared directly with property managers and owners, with the system, capacity, scope, and price in writing.
What if a Pro diagnoses the system and I decide against replacing it?
+
The diagnosis was still carried out, so that invoice stays payable. When you approve the replacement instead, the diagnosis fee is waived.
Does flat-rate HVAC replacement cover heat pumps?
+
Yes. The full-system option covers heat pump and straight cool setups from 1.5 to 5 tons, priced by capacity.
Do I need to do anything to get the 10-year parts warranty on an HVAC replacement?
+
The equipment has to be registered with the manufacturer after installation. The 1-year labor warranty applies automatically.
Can I plan HVAC replacements before a unit fails?
+
Yes. A seasonal tune-up shows which systems are near the end of their life, so you can price those swaps while the home is comfortable, ideally while it sits vacant between residents.
Who can order a flat-rate HVAC replacement from Lula?
+
Lula works with property managers and rental property owners, and Flat-Rate maintenance is available to all Lula customers. Lula does not work with homeowners or renters directly. If you rent your home and the system has failed, report it to your property manager or landlord.
