Frequently asked questions

HVAC service visits typically run $150 to $1,200, while installing a new furnace, heat pump or central AC can cost between $3,000 and $12,000 including equipment and labor. Prices depend on the unit's size, efficiency rating and your home's ductwork.

If a unit is under 10-12 years old and the repair is less than 30% of the replacement cost, repairing usually makes sense. Older, inefficient systems are often better replaced. A verified HVAC pro can run the numbers for you in a free assessment.
