Approximate Cost to replace AC

[Budman68]

My neighbor just had one installed brand new for $1k flat.

The outdoor unit isn’t level, no line set cover, no disconnect, thermostat only reads in Celsius, zero warranty, and the dude that installed it wore flip flops and worked out of a ‘97 civic.

But hey, it was cheap!

A good quality unit installed correctly with warranty is typically going to be 3-5k per zone around these parts.

I think I've seen that guy.

I just replaced my inside and outside units, no duct work.
Inside unit = $680
Outside unit = $850
Few fittings = $5-7
Labor = sweat

Was quoted $3200 labor. [emoji44].

Have you requested any bids? Pretty simple install and there are some affordable units on the market. What would you charge to install one?

Bids ?..... I'm not accustom, to speaking out of turn...….
I think it's a pretty simple install myself...….
If I were 30 years younger.....I'd do it myself...….
But, ….. those that do it...apparently, don't agree with us...………
btw--- affordable units, doesn't necessarily equate to quality...…….
But, if you've got a bid of $2500...…..I'll take it...….

This is the unit I had installed in my bedroom. Went with a higher end and head.
Apache Air in Blanco TX
12,000 BTU Heat Pump Ductless Mitsubishi GL model for Master

$2,949.00

Installation was not on an exterior wall, so it required tying in to the plumbing and additional cooper. Also, note this is not the cheapest bid I got.

So saying that, the $2500 is doable with a Trane or lesser unit.
