I need to replace a hvac unit in a 2565 square foot home in Middle tennessee, how much would it costs?

Question

I know it depends on the unit, but assuming the duct work is good what is the range in price.

Answer 1

We got three ductless units from Fujitsu, about 7.5 tons total.  Installed it was a bit less than 10 grand.  110 outside, 72 in here, and not a degree lost in hot ducts.

Edited to add that our houses are the same size.

Answer 2

5 ton 5500$-8500$ for both indoor and out depending on make & SEER rating.

Answer 3

I'm not going to guess a price, but there are two things to be aware of.

Last year the minimum efficiency (rated as SEER) changed from 10 to 13. If you purchase a 10 seer unit (and there are still a lot out there) it is already obsolete.

Next year (actually 2010) production of R-22 refrigerant will cease. Everyone is stocking up right now, but if you intend to live in this house more than a few years, it will get more expensive to service the unit.

In Tennessee you don't need a high dollar 16 or 18 SEER unit, but a 14-15 SEER with R-410 refrigerant will give you long term value
