Equipment is the biggest line, but labor, line sets, permits, disposal and callbacks are where margins disappear. Price the whole job from cost to margin, not equipment × a multiplier.
About the tonnage estimate
Square feet per ton is a rough rule of thumb only. Use a Manual J load calculation for real sizing.
