Have you read any news articles about metricon in the last 6 months? I'd reccomend you do. As to heating/cooling, builders gouge on this massively and you could be paying up to 100% more than post handover with any builder. What happens Is the builders use third parties to install them, so you're paying margin to the builder as well as the installer. The installers sell them at an inflated cost to the builder too, because they can. You'll have a convo with the builder who will convince you to get an overpriced, undersized system that you can only run part of the house on for cooling rather than whole house simultaneous cooling. They will try convince you that this is the way most people live. You want a system that has the capacity to do whole home cooling in the event you want to cool the whole home. In anycase, get the builder's installer to quote on a whole home cooling system for your size home and then go to a bunch of installers and get quotes. Many also charge heavily because they know what the builders charge. But you will be bound to find one or two that are really good value. Present the quotes to your builder and watch them knock off thousands to get you closer to the externally quoted prices. Personally saved 10k doing this.
