HVAC Pricing FAQ

1How much does an HVAC tune-up cost?
A seasonal tune-up typically costs $80–$200 depending on your location and system type. Most contractors charge a flat fee that covers both heating and cooling inspection, refrigerant check, and filter replacement.
2When should I replace my AC instead of repairing it?
Consider replacement when your system is 15+ years old, repair costs exceed 50% of a new unit, or you're using R-22 refrigerant (phased out). Modern systems are 30–50% more efficient, which offsets the upfront cost over time.
3Why do HVAC prices vary so much by region?
Labor rates, permit costs, and cost of living differ significantly between markets. High-cost urban areas can run 20–30% above average, while rural or low-cost markets may be 10–20% below. Our calculator lets you adjust for your region.
4Does the price include permits?
Most prices shown include standard labor and materials but not permits. Permit fees vary by municipality, typically $50–$300 for residential work. Your contractor should pull all required permits and include the cost in the final quote.
5How long does a new AC installation take?
A straightforward central AC swap takes 4–8 hours. New installations requiring ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades can take 1–2 days. Mini-split installs are generally faster at 4–6 hours for a single zone.
6Is a maintenance contract worth it?
Yes, for most homeowners. A maintenance plan ($150–$300/year) includes two seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs. Regular maintenance extends equipment life by 5–10 years and maintains warranty coverage.
7What affects the cost of a furnace installation?
Key factors include furnace size (BTU output matched to your home), fuel type (gas vs. electric), efficiency rating (80% vs. 96%), ductwork condition, and local code requirements. High-efficiency models cost more upfront but reduce heating bills 20–30%.
8Should I get multiple quotes?
Absolutely. We recommend at least three written quotes from licensed, insured contractors. Compare scope of work (not just price), warranty terms, equipment brands, and online reviews. The cheapest bid isn't always the best value.
