A question about your replacement quoteHi Jordan,
I’m following up on the replacement quote we sent for $12,480. Before you compare the total, check whether each proposal includes the same equipment, permits, old-system removal, startup testing, and warranty. Different totals may cover different work.
Reply with the one part you want explained. I can walk through our written quote or compare listed scope without guessing about another contractor’s work.

When to Send It
Trigger
A current HVAC replacement quote was delivered and the homeowner has not replied, accepted, declined, or entered another active conversation.
Timing
After the homeowner has had about two business days to read the proposal.
Frequency
Send once as the first quote follow-up.
Timing note
Do not imply that price, equipment, rebates, financing, or availability will change unless a verified record supports it.
Make This Email Yours
- Confirm the written quote is still current. If its price or scope changed, send the corrected proposal instead.
- Use the installed total only when it helps the homeowner identify the right proposal; otherwise remove it.
- Have the assigned estimator answer replies so the customer does not need to repeat the question.
Before You Use This Email
Why This Approach Works
Platform Setup Steps
Trigger
A verified replacement proposal is delivered and remains open after the initial reading period.
Segment
Homeowners with a current delivered replacement quote, excluding accepted, declined, expired, superseded, disputed, emergency, complaint, opt-out, bounce, and human-handled records.
Delay
About two business days after confirmed proposal delivery.
Reply owner: Assigned HVAC estimator who can explain the current written proposal and owns every reply.
- Confirm the exact proposal is current and the assigned estimator is available.
- Send one comparison-led follow-up.
- Stop on reply or proposal-state change and assign the conversation to the estimator.
Stop conditions
- Stop on reply, acceptance, decline, expiry, replacement, booking, cancellation, unsubscribe, complaint, dispute, or hard bounce.
- Stop when a human begins active handling or another quote, service, or emergency workflow takes ownership.
- Suppress stale or conflicting proposal, amount, customer, sender, or consent data.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Repeating that the quote is waiting
That adds pressure but no help.
Use instead: Give the homeowner a concrete way to compare scope.
- Claiming another contractor left something out
The estimator may not have reviewed the competing proposal.
Use instead: Compare only written details that are actually available.
