Most residential customers in the United States can expect to pay between $5,000 and $18,000 for a new cooling system, often as part of a full HVAC replacement. This range covers standard residential installations.
Key factors include the type of system (AC unit vs. full HVAC), its efficiency level (SEER rating), the size and complexity of the home, labor costs, brand choice, and any necessary installation complexities like ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades.
Labor costs can typically range from 50% to 100% of the material costs. Always factor in the estimated hours for removal, installation, testing, and any specialized work, using an average hourly rate for your region.
A basic new AC unit typically costs between $3,300 and $7,800. A full HVAC system, which includes both heating and cooling, for a standard home usually ranges from $7,000 to $15,000. High-efficiency or complex HVAC systems can go up to $28,000.
