I don't always take her suggestions but it gives me a good idea on what to do.Kitchen Gut (medium grade SS appliances & Granite) - about $40/sq ftHVAC - Duct work - $2.50/sq ftHVAC - Compressor - $1,750 + ($1.00/sq ft)HVAC - Heating Unit - $2,000Those are quick estimate numbers that I have found to be good for North Texas.
