How Much Should an HVAC System Cost?
When it’s time to replace or install a new HVAC system, one of the first questions homeowners ask is:
“How much should an HVAC system actually cost?”
Let’s break it down and give you a clear, honest answer — no fluff, just facts.
💰 Average HVAC System Cost
The average cost of a full HVAC system (including installation) ranges from:
| System Type | Installed Cost |
|---|---|
| Central AC + Furnace | $7,000 – $12,000 |
| Heat Pump System | $6,500 – $11,000 |
| Ductless Mini-Split | $4,000 – $8,000 (per zone) |
| AC Unit Only | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Furnace Only | $3,000 – $6,000 |
These prices include both the equipment and the labor to install it.
🧱 What Affects the Cost of HVAC?
A few key factors influence the final price:
-
Home size (square footage)
-
Energy efficiency ratings (SEER, AFUE)
-
Brand and system features
-
Ductwork condition or replacement
-
Labor rates in your area
-
Zoning or smart system upgrades
✅ Tip: More efficient systems cost more upfront but save you thousands in energy bills over time.
