HVAC installation cost and pricing
HVAC installs are high-dollar and vary by system and home. Here are the typical ranges customers see, and how to price a job properly.
HVAC pricing is usually a flat price per install that covers equipment and labor, plus separate service and maintenance rates.
Typical prices
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| AC unit install | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Furnace install | $2,500 – $6,000 |
| Full system (AC + furnace) | $6,000 – $12,000 |
| Tune-up / maintenance | $80 – $200 |
| Repair service call | $150 – $600 |
These are general ranges reported across the US, not a quote. Your prices depend on your market, your costs and the specific job. Always price to cover your own numbers.
What affects the price
