๐ก How Much Does a New HVAC System Cost?
HVAC costs depend on system type, home size, and whether existing ductwork is reused. Central AC replacement: $5,000โ$8,000. Heat pump: $6,000โ$10,000. Gas furnace: $3,500โ$6,000. Ductless mini-split: $3,000โ$8,000 (1โ4 zones). Full system (AC + furnace): $8,000โ$15,000.
Ductwork adds $2,000โ$5,000 if new or replacement is needed. Mini-splits avoid this cost entirely. System sizing is critical โ oversized units short-cycle (wasting energy), while undersized units run constantly. A Manual J load calculation ($100โ$300) ensures proper sizing.
1,500 sq ft home, central AC: $2,250 equipment + $3,000 installation + $2,000 ductwork = $7,250 total. Mini-split (no ductwork): $3,750 equipment + $3,500 install = $7,250.
