Looking for HVAC contractor in Hillsboro, OR area

[Napat Wan]

Hello, my fellow Biggerpocketers,

I have been looking for an HVAC contractor (Hillsboro, OR) to replace my furnace and ac unit. I have contacted multiple HVAC companies for quotes, and their quotes are in the range of 16k-21k. I am not sure if it is because of the inflation but I was not expecting this price. I thought it would be somewhere in the low 10k. Do you agree if this is a typical price to replace a furnace and an ac for a 3B/2B 1400 sq ft home (Gas Furnace, Up to 96% efficient, Up to 60000 BTUh and Air Conditioner, 2 Tons, Up to 18.00 SEER, 71 dB max)? 

I am also thinking about hiring a subcontractor to replace my furnace and ac. I will provide him with the parts and pay for his labor. I have not found a contractor that would do this yet. I assume it is because the HVAC system is more complicated and needs a separate license so it is not common for a subcontractor to have one. I would really appreciate it if you can share with me your subcontractor that can help me with this.

Thank you in advance!
