How Much Is A Furnace And Air Conditioner?

The typical cost for a furnace and central air system is $6,000 to $11,000. The most expensive systems run around $15,000. That’s for conventional, gas, forced-air setups. The price depends mainly on the size of the unit and how efficient it is.

A larger system for a bigger home with better energy efficiency will get you near the $11,000 mark. Smaller units that use more energy are on the lower end. You go past $11,000 for high-end systems that offer variable-speed blowers and other features.

However, you’re better off going with a heat pump system in many cases. They cost a little more upfront than a comparable forced-air setup. But, you’ll pay significantly less in energy bills each month. And they provide better comfort.

Why You Don’t Want An Oversized Furnace

Bigger is NOT better when it comes to your HVAC system! A new furnace must be the right size for your home. Otherwise, you’ll run into all sorts of problems. That includes your new system leaving your home too cold in the winter — and burning out years before it should.

A right-sized heater distributes just enough heat to slowly warm the home and keep it at that temperature. When the system is too powerful, it sends a blast of warmth so powerful that the thermostat shuts it off automatically.

Then, it cools down too fast, so the heater turns right back on. The cycle continues. Your home is consistently too cold without that slow, steady heat. And the system wears out from all that extra work.

When you call Compass Heating and Air for a new system, we do a careful load calculation to ensure you’re getting the exact right size heater for your home. Call us today at (630) 504-868
