Full HVAC System Replacement Cost (AC + Furnace or Heat Pump)
When both heating and cooling equipment need replacement — or you are upgrading an older split system — Las Vegas homeowners should budget for the whole system, not just the outdoor unit.
| Scope | Typical installed range | What drives the price |
|---|---|---|
| Central AC + gas furnace (3 ton, mid SEER2) | $9,500 – $14,500 | Equipment tier, duct repairs, electrical, permits |
| Heat pump system (heating + cooling) | $10,500 – $16,000+ | SEER2/HSPF, rebate eligibility, line set length |
| High-efficiency upgrade (18+ SEER2) | $12,000 – $18,000+ | Premium equipment, zoning, smart controls |
| Ductless mini-split (whole-home multi-zone) | $8,000 – $22,000+ | Number of zones, electrical, wall penetrations |

- Duct design, Manual J load calculation, and permit scope often add $2,000–$8,000+ to equipment-only quotes
What Makes Las Vegas HVAC More Expensive Than Other Markets
- Runtime hours: Systems run longer in 100°F+ weather — wear items fail faster
- Refrigerant stress: High ambient temperatures increase head pressure and compressor load
- Dust and coil fouling: Desert dust clogs coils faster — efficiency drops without maintenance
- Electrical demand: Peak summer loads may require panel or disconnect upgrades on older homes
How to Get an Accurate HVAC Quote in Las Vegas
- Request a written estimate that separates equipment, labor, permits, and optional upgrades
- Ask for a Manual J load calculation — oversized systems cost more upfront and underperform
- Compare SEER2 and warranty tiers, not just the bottom-line price
- Verify NV contractor license (C-21 HVAC) and insurance before authorizing work

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a full HVAC system cost in Las Vegas?
Most complete central HVAC replacements (AC + furnace or heat pump, installed) run $7,500 to $16,000, with $10,000 to $12,500 typical for a mid-size home and mid-efficiency equipment.
Is it cheaper to replace AC and furnace together?
Often yes. Matching indoor and outdoor equipment improves efficiency and may reduce total labor versus two separate projects. A technician can compare repair, AC-only, and full-system options during the $79 diagnostic.
How much does HVAC maintenance cost per year?
A single AC tune-up runs $89–$175. Annual maintenance plans cost more upfront but include priority service and discounts that pay off if you avoid one emergency breakdown.
Why are Las Vegas HVAC quotes higher than national averages?
Higher runtime, extreme heat, and harder wear on capacitors, compressors, and coils mean local equipment works harder. Quotes also reflect NV permit, licensing, and labor market costs.
Does a higher SEER2 rating always save money?
Not always. Higher SEER2 costs more upfront. In Las Vegas, mid-range SEER2 (16–18) often delivers the best balance of comfort and payback for typical run hours.
When should I repair vs. replace my HVAC system?
If the system is under 10 years old and the repair restores full performance, repair is usually right. If the repair exceeds 50% of replacement cost or the system is 15+ years old with a major failure, replacement is often smarter long term.
Do you offer financing for HVAC replacement?
Yes. Financing options are available for qualified customers on replacement projects. Ask for terms during your estimate.
