All cities with HVAC replacement cost data

738 U.S. cities across 50 states · data updated 2026

HVAC replacement pricing tracks climate zone first, equipment tier second. The 2023 federal SEER2 floor (14.3 in the Sun Belt, 13.4 elsewhere) and the staged R-454B/R-32 refrigerant transition both moved per-ton baseline numbers in the last 18 months — installs that quoted at $5,200 in early 2023 are landing at $6,800 in 2026 for the same 3-ton split-system swap. ENERGY STAR rebates and state heat-pump incentives (NYSERDA Clean Heat, Mass Save, Inflation Reduction Act 25C) cut that delta materially in HPC-eligible counties.
