Heating and Cooling costs, by state and province

How heating and cooling pricing works

A published hvac installation figure for the United States and Canada is an average drawn from the organisation that publishes it, so it is a benchmark rather than a quote. The price you are actually offered is assembled from several parts, and each part can move independently of the national or regional average.

• Labour: the hours the work takes and the prevailing local wage for the trade or professional that performs it.
• Materials and inputs: the quantity, grade and local availability of what is supplied or installed.
• Permits and inspections: fees set by the municipality or authority that has jurisdiction over the work.
• Access and travel: how far a provider must travel and how difficult the site or the case is to reach.
• Timing: seasonal demand, emergency or out-of-hours call-outs, and how soon the work has to be done.
• Scope: whether the job is a minor repair, a partial replacement or a full replacement.

Because those parts differ from one market to the next, two written quotes for the same described job can differ without either being wrong. The published figure on this page tells you where the market sits; an itemised quote tells you what you would actually pay. Compare quotes line by line rather than against a single average.

This page does not quote hvac installation work and is not a contractor. Nothing here is an offer, a quote or an estimate.
