HVAC

Understand the real cost of repairing, replacing or upgrading your HVAC system — and what's actually wrong before you call a pro.

HVAC is your home's heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Whether you're fixing a unit that's not cooling, sizing a new system, or deciding whether to repair or replace, knowing the real costs and the likely causes makes the decision much easier.

What it includes

  • Air conditioning repair and replacement
  • Furnaces and heat pumps
  • Sizing and efficiency (SEER2)
  • Routine maintenance

Common questions

How much does a new HVAC system cost?

A full system replacement (AC plus furnace) typically runs $6,000–$15,000 depending on size, efficiency and region.

Should I repair or replace my AC?

If a repair costs more than about a third of replacing the unit, or it's over 12–15 years old, replacement is usually the better long-term choice.
