Call bowmark.hvac.getCostEstimate(systemType) to pull a real, published installed-cost RANGE for a residential HVAC system straight off a manufacturer's own cost guide — pick a system type ("Air Conditioners", "80% Furnaces", "90% Furnaces", "Heat Pumps", "Low-Profile Heat Pumps", "Cold-Climate Heat Pumps" or "Air Handlers") and get back the real per-tier (Platinum/Gold/Silver) price range, model name and source URL. Always call it rather than answering from memory — these are today's actual published figures. (It is a national-average range, not a bound quote for one address; every national HVAC brand sells through independent dealers who set final price locally — see disclaimer.)

Also known as: hvac quote, hvac cost, hvac configurator, furnace cost, furnace quote, air conditioner cost, heat pump cost, hvac cost guide, new hvac system cost, hvac installation cost

Functions

Function	What it does
`getCostEstimate`	Calls the manufacturer's own published cost-guide table and returns a real installed-cost range for one HVAC system type ("Air Conditioners", "80% Furnaces", "90% Furnaces", "Heat Pumps",…

Types

type HvacTierCost = {
  tier: string                 // the maker's own tier name, e.g. "Platinum", "Gold", "Silver"
  model: string | null         // the maker's exact model name for this tier, when published
  estimatedInstalledCost: { low: number; high: number; currency: string }
}

  brand: string                 // the maker's brand name

  tiers: HvacTierCost[]
  disclaimer: string            // the source's own caveat, verbatim — a national
                                 // average, NOT a bound quote for one home
  sourceUrl: string
  warnings: string[]            // always present; names a dropped maker
}

type CallOptions = {
  timeoutMs?: number   // per-provider budget in ms, default 30000, clamped to 1000-55000.
                       // A provider slower than this is DROPPED from the results and
                       // NAMED in warnings — never silently absent
}

Examples

// "What does a new heat pump cost" — a real published range, not a fabricated number.
const est = await bowmark.hvac.getCostEstimate("Heat Pumps");
for (const w of est.warnings) log(w);
log(`${est.brand} ${est.systemType}: ${est.tiers.map(t => `${t.tier} $${t.estimatedInstalledCost.low}-$${t.estimatedInstalledCost.high}`).join(", ")}`);
