HVAC costs
Furnaces, AC units, heat pumps, ductwork and tune-ups.
Heating and cooling equipment is priced by system type, size and efficiency rating, and installation adds labor, ductwork, electrical work and permits on top. Two quotes for the "same" system can differ because one includes new ducts, a line set or a panel upgrade and the other does not.
The guides below gather installed price ranges for furnaces, central air, heat pumps, mini-splits and ductwork from published cost surveys, each with its source. They break out labor and equipment where the sources do, list the add-ons that often appear on a bid, and explain what to ask an HVAC contractor before you commit.
