HVAC Installation

Whole-home HVAC installation covers everything from a like-for-like system replacement to a full design-build for new construction or major remodels. We handle load calculations, equipment sizing, permit coordination, ductwork assessment, and heat pump rebate submission when it applies. We do not push any particular brand. We recommend what fits your home, your climate zone, and your budget.

What’s included:

• Load calculation (Manual J)
• Equipment selection across all major brands
• Ductwork inspection and sealing (or retrofit where needed)
• Permit pull and inspector coordination
• Full install with commissioning
• Rebate paperwork where applicable
• 10-year manufacturer parts warranty + 10-year labor warranty

Pricing:

• Basic replacement (single-stage AC + furnace): from $6,500
• Dual-fuel system: from $12,000
• Heat pump whole-home: from $15,000
• New construction or major retrofit: quoted per project

Timeline:

Standard like-for-like replacement: 1 to 2 days on site. Whole-home heat pump conversion: 2 to 4 days. New construction or major remodel: scheduled around your general contractor, typically 3 to 5 days of HVAC work. Permits add 1 to 3 weeks of lead time depending on city and inspector backlog.

What drives price:

Three factors move installation cost the most: equipment tier (single-stage vs. variable-speed), ductwork condition (intact vs. needs replacement), and electrical scope (existing circuit retained vs. sub-panel required). A house with intact ductwork and an existing 240V circuit installs faster and cheaper than a same-size home that needs a duct retrofit and panel work.

Ductwork:

Ductwork that is 25 years old or has visible damage usually needs to be replaced or repaired. Sealing leaky ducts can recover 15 to 25 percent of conditioned air. We inspect ducts on every estimate and tell you whether repair, sealing, or replacement makes the most sense for the new system you are considering.
