Soundds like that's your problem, and doesn't really interest
me.

As in 'my experience tells me you likely need a 2.5 ton unit,
after we sign a contract I will do a load calc ( several hours work )
to make sure we don't need to adjust that down to a 2.0 or up to a
3.0, and the price difference will be this or that ( $$$ specified )
based on that calculation.'
No, you don't get several hours free work done just for the
priviledge of being one of 3 -5 or more contractors you take bids
from. No, you don't get the results of that work without paying for
it.
