HVAC Cost Guides
Real pricing, permit requirements, and contractor red flags for AC replacement, furnace, heat pump, and HVAC repair — by city. Covering 15 U.S. markets.
2025–2026 Refrigerant transition: New AC and heat-pump equipment now ships
with R-454B or R-32 — not R-410A. Your existing R-410A system is legal and repairable.
"We can't get R-410A, you must replace everything" is misleading. See your city's page for
the full story.
