EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
A heating thermostat replacement example for two controlled zones contains 7 itemized lines totaling $1,565.00 before tax or markup. The actual app PDF, measurement basis, project boundaries and a matching how-to guide are available here; every rate is fictional.
What this example covers
Replace two existing room thermostats with selected compatible controls at the same locations, then verify operation of each zone.
Use this example to see a complete document for two controlled zones. The brief is tied to Spokane, Washington for a plausible project setting; the amounts are fictional input values and do not represent local market prices. The estimating guide explains the decisions behind these lines.

Itemized heating thermostat replacement example
These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| System compatibility check | 1 job | $180.00 | $180.00 |
| Old control removal | 2 each | $65.00 | $130.00 |
| Thermostat allowance | 2 each | $240.00 | $480.00 |
| Interface parts allowance | 1 job | $150.00 | $150.00 |
| Control installation | 2 each | $175.00 | $350.00 |
| Zone operation check | 2 each | $95.00 | $190.00 |
| User handoff | 1 job | $85.00 | $85.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | $1,565.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for old control removal is 2 each × $65.00 = $130.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $1,565.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Identify heating equipment, wiring at each control, voltage and available mounting space. Selection to verify: Keep thermostat products and any interface module as separate allowances.
Assumptions and exclusions
Check compatibility before removing controls and test each zone after replacement.
Outside the stated scope: No heating plant replacement, new control cable route or network setup guarantee.
Missing conductors or proprietary controls can change the product choice. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
