Cost of A/C replacement

Recommended Posts

I have a buddy that’s been getting prices that are all over the place for a residential replacement. Currently has a Trane 5 ton heat pump with the air handler in the attic. No extras just equipment and labor.

Just looking for comparison on total cost of what other people have paid recently. Name of company and out the door installed price which may also help others in making a decision in the future.

Last buddy I had replace one of those units he was in for 13,000, i believe he should have been closer to 11,000

I just did two all in one units installed for 8500.00

The unit price shouldn't be hard to come up with but the installation prices will be all over the place.  The high end companies that we see on TV all the time typically charge 3X the amount of the unit cost. So if you get a 5K unit it will cost you about 15k for full installation. My son-in-law works for one of them and me being a home inspector I don't refer them because of the cost and all the up-selling they try to do. Definitely shop around.

I second this. I have known him for years and he is a customer and friend of mine. I sell him air conditioning equipment.

What part of town is he in? I am a wholesaler, so I work in the industry and can probably at least refer people who are going to do good work and not totally screw him.
