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.
For a 1200 sq ft house, you can expect the cost to range from $3,000 to over $10,000. That's a wide range because it depends heavily on the brand and the system's energy efficiency, or SEER rating.
For a small business, a commercial air conditioning unit with a capacity of 1.5-2.5 tons (sufficient for a space of up to 1,500 square feet) can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000. Larger units with higher capacities (for spaces up to 5,000 square feet) can cost between $5,000 and $10,000.
