Looks like I'm getting a new AC unit and a new furnace tomorrow. Been

band-aiding them both for a few years now. I did get 20 years out of them, which I guess is good. So what's this going to cost me? Proposal for complete system- ac unit(outdoor) condenser, evaporator coil and furnace *removal and disposal of existing HVAC system *install 2.5ton A/C carrier r454unit with pad and pump ups *install 2.5 ton r454 evaporator coil *install high efficency furnace 60,000 btu 90% *flush existing lineset *leak check, evacuate system under 500 microns and properly charge system with manufacturer specifications *install all necessary electrical connections to system *perform proper startup and check complete cooling and heating operation *one year labor warranty from us We will provide labor and any material needed to complete the hvac install to system and the prices below will be for labor and equipment

Mine was $10,000 in 2023. Life in Central Florida **

$7800 is a good price after a 20 year run

when i was a kid we had a window unit and we liked it**
bigbadbird • 07/09/26 04:01 PM ET
I guess I'm getting a deal. The quote was $7800. I'll reserve judgment
Brown Water • 07/09/26 03:39 PM ET
Not bad...I paid $4,500 for an "preferred deal" on a 3-ton in 2019.
MP4VT2004 • 07/09/26 08:36 PM ET

Stork • 07/09/26 04:25 PM ET

bigbadbird • 07/09/26 04:49 PM ET
The thought it fell off a truck did cross my mind**
Brown Water • 07/09/26 04:20 PM ET
They are taking it from your neighbor**
vt90 • 07/09/26 04:21 PM ET
Mine was 10 years for parts and upped labor to match. American Standard.
TomTurkey • 07/09/26 04:00 PM ET
I have an American Standard too. Good equipment.

bigbadbird • 07/09/26 04:00 PM ET
if it blows cold air- then it's worth it- we were quoted around 5500- and
bigbadbird • 07/09/26 03:48 PM ET
Paid @the same for upper level & lower level A/C units and controls…
VT BronzeBacker • 07/09/26 03:48 PM ET
Yep, I'm in DV too. We have dual zone and this is for the main floor and
Brown Water • 07/09/26 04:01 PM ET
Get ready to make like George Jetson
Coach McGuirk • 07/09/26 03:32 PM ET
With NoVa tax I'd say 18-20k
HokieMacDaddy • 07/09/26 03:32 PM ET
$12,000**
Stork • 07/09/26 02:53 PM ET
i still have 10k left to pay for my hvac work...
LesHaunx • 07/09/26 02:55 PM ET
Although BW’s paying Nova prices. I’m not sure what factor I need to apply.**
Stork • 07/09/26 02:56 PM ET
true**
LesHaunx • 07/09/26 02:57 PM ET
I should ask, how many SEER?**
Stork • 07/09/26 02:54 PM ET
No clue, although I'll guess 14-17. Could be as high as 25.**
Brown Water • 07/09/26 02:58 PM ET
Mid-summer, Nova $12-$14,000**
Stork • 07/09/26 03:02 PM ET
He wishes. I would be shocked if it's under $15,000**
BG Hokie • 07/09/26 03:29 PM ET
Once we were forced into high efficiency HVAC systems, the cost went up...
EDGEMAN • 07/09/26 02:58 PM ET
$20K?
