Removal, commissioning, applicable permits and tax treatment
Parts and labour warranty, registration and service commitments

What to do with a large difference

Ask each contractor to explain material differences in equipment, work and support. A large unexplained gap deserves an independent second opinion. A price difference alone does not prove an outrageous charge or an incomplete job.

Postal-code context can narrow local questions, but it cannot establish the actual condition of the property. Preliminary planning prices may change after a hands-on human appraisal. Request a written explanation before approving changed work.
