I contacted Lowes installation and i got two people to bid my air conditioning project. A-1 was one of them. The person came out, looked briefly at the rooms and out doors - less than 10 minutes , asked no questions and then submitted an estimate of over 19,000 for the job.
I told them i was waiting for another estimate-- I looked at what they wrote up and started asking questions- ie which units were they installing, why those units, did they pull the city permits or did i, etc etc. Basically i got no answers at all - and no further contact.

Evidently it was a take it or leave it bid. I left it. When i finally contacted an HVAC installer through a network of contractors I knew the bid came in at 9800 dollars. and they spent a long time looking around for access., available electric supply, places to locate the units, they discussed the various installation options and the equipment.

My suggestion is you have nothing to do whatsoever with these people.
