There are few things more stressful than when an HVAC system fails. During these hot summer months, the loss of air conditioning can spell disaster for in-home comfort. However, many people find that the strain on the wallet can be more problematic than extreme temperatures. That being said, it’s best to be as prepared as possible for the day when your HVAC system kicks the bucket. LM Wilson Heating and Air has been providing Burlington and Alamance County with quality, affordable HVAC system installations since 1987.
How do you know how much an HVAC replacement will cost? Well, the truth is that there is no one exact answer. Nonetheless, you can make a good estimate. Determining the cost of an HVAC replacement depends on some key factors.
Cost of Equipment
It’s always recommended to go with a reputable contractor that provides quality service. However, these contractors are likely to sell higher-end equipment. Although you’ll pay more up front, this equipment will last longer and be more efficient, saving you money in the long run.
Cost of Installation
How difficult your house is to work in and how much equipment needs to be replaced will have a significant impact on the cost of HVAC replacement. Older houses can be a challenge for installation, requiring more time and intense labor to remove and upgrade old equipment. If your ductwork needs to be replaced in addition to the A/C and furnace units, you’ll see an increase in cost as well.
Size of House
The larger a house, the larger an HVAC system will need to be. These units are sized in tons, which refers to the cooling power of your A/C unit, not its weight. Larger HVAC systems cost more, but may be necessary for your home to be cooled and heated efficiently.
Depending on what combination of factors you have in your home, you could see a range of quotes for an HVAC replacement. If all you need is a single A/C unit and indoor coil replaced, you may not have to break the $4,000-5,000 mark. However, an extensive system overhaul with new equipment and ductwork in a decently sized house could potentially surpass $10,000. There is no better way to get an accurate and honest estimate of your HVAC replacement cost than having a reputable contractor inspect your home and equipment.
