Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To provide an accurate quote, conduct a thorough on-site assessment of the existing system, inspect ductwork, evaluate electrical needs, and consider any complexities. Offer tiered options (Basic, Mid-range, Premium) to help clients understand what they are paying for, and provide flat-rate pricing when possible for transparency.
Labor costs for unit installation generally range from $75 to $250 per hour. For professional installation of a new HVAC unit, the cost can be between $500 and $2,500, with an average of $1,500. Ductless mini-split installation labor costs are comparable.
Premium tier installations typically involve high-end A/C systems with advanced features, such as high SEER ratings, smart home integration, complex zoning systems, or extensive ductwork replacement. Projects requiring significant structural modifications or specialized equipment also fall into this category.
Yes, always consider additional costs such as permits and inspection fees, necessary ductwork repairs or replacements, thermostat upgrades (especially to smart thermostats), and the removal and disposal of old units. Offering maintenance plans post-installation can also be a value-add.
Including a robust warranty, such as a 10-year parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty on new residential systems, can justify a slightly higher price point. It provides peace of mind to the customer and demonstrates confidence in your workmanship and the quality of the units you install. Clearly communicate warranty details in your proposals.
