Heating and Cooling Projects, Without Regret
Strata is your trusted partner.
You’re in the right place if you:
Need new heating or cooling but aren't sure which system is right for your home.
Need to find an installer and don’t know who to trust.
Don’t have time to get contractor bids but want to pay a fair market price.
Want the peace of mind that your system will keep you comfortable and be energy efficient.
The "Frequency Gap"
Most homeowners buy a furnace, a heat pump, or an air conditioner once every 15 years, if ever. Contractors sell them every single day. This "frequency gap" often leads to over-engineered systems and "sticker shock" pricing.
Homeowner’s Representation: A Proven Model—Applied to Your HVAC System
In commercial construction, owners hire an independent representative to manage technical specs and vet contractors. At Strata, we bring that same model to your home. We don’t sell equipment, and we don’t work for the installers. We work exclusively for you.
What Strata offers for your project:
Independent Scoping: We identify what you want and your home needs before the first salesperson arrives.
Professional Bid Management: We solicit multiple bids and ensure an apples-to-apples comparison.
$1,000s in Potential Savings: We ensure you don’t pay for "extras" you don't need.
Expert Accountability: We provide the oversight to ensure the job is finished correctly, assist with Energy Trust incentives, and ensure your system is set to perform as efficiently as possible.
We support you through every stage of your project, from planning to completion, to save you time, money, and stress.
Pricing
Professional Oversight for a Flat $600.
Most heating and cooling systems are sold on commission, but Strata is different. We don’t sell hardware or take kickbacks; instead, we charge a flat fee to manage the process.
Since bids often fluctuate by thousands, our professional management often pays for itself (learn more here about a recent project we managed).
