Installation costs typically range from $4,500 to $9,000 depending on system size (tons), efficiency rating (SEER/HSPF), installation complexity, ductwork modifications, existing system removal. Higher SEER ratings are worth it in Las Cruces due to our extreme summer heat and high cooling hours.
Most residential HVAC installations take 1-2 days to complete, including removal of old equipment and testing of the new system.
