Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
The $5,000 rule is a guideline to help homeowners decide whether to repair or replace their HVAC system. You multiply the age of your unit by the cost of the needed repair. If that number exceeds $5,000, replacing your HVAC system is often more cost-effective.
Most residential HVAC companies charge between $75 and $200 per hour for service calls, depending on factors such as location, technician experience, time of service, and the type of work required. Standard service calls are typically $75–$125/hour, while after-hours or emergency service can be $100–$200/hour.
The 20-degree rule means that a properly working air conditioner can typically cool the air about 20°F below the indoor return temperature. For example, if your home is 78°F, your vents should blow air near 58°F.
On average, replacing an air conditioning (AC) system in a 2,000-square-foot home costs about $8,283 for a 14.3 Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2) AC and gas furnace split system. The typical low-end price of this system is $5,634, with an average high-end price of $14,686.
