Ducted air conditioning is a central cooling and heating system that uses a network of ducts to distribute conditioned air throughout your home. It typically consists of an indoor unit that connects to a series of ducts installed in the walls, ceilings, or floors, and an outdoor unit that houses the compressor and condenser. This system allows for consistent temperature control in multiple rooms, making it an efficient option for larger homes.
The installation cost for ducted air conditioning can vary widely depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the installation. Generally, you can expect to pay between $3,500 to $7,500, but prices can reach up to $10,000 or more in some areas, especially in high-cost cities. It’s important to hire a licensed HVAC professional for installation, as they can ensure that the system is properly sized and installed for optimal efficiency.
If you're considering ducted air conditioning, the next step is to get 2-3 local quotes from licensed HVAC contractors on Handyman.com to compare options and pricing.
