I paid maybe 3k in Boulder 3 years ago. Crawl space installation. I went with a single guy operation, but if I could do it again I'd go with H&M Mechanical out of Lafayette, their quote was close and they've been easy to work with on other things.
Edit: guess it was 4k, seeing as I posted in this thread already."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

Cool. I emailed H&M, Danno, and PM'd ive-seen-black-diamonds, CCing Rontele for good measure in case that's still a thing
Previous AC tune-up guys have mentioned how much of a PITA accessing the blower was, but I don't know if that justifies such a large difference in price...
Thanks y'all, appreciate itLast edited by BigKuba; 08-08-2019 at 07:43 PM.

Have you looked into a mini-split system, many options and can be set up for future expansion.

Spent $4k last year to get central AC in our newish 1800 sq ft 2 story house. 3 ton 14 SEER Bryant. Was an easy install above our gas furnace. Routing to exterior unit was short.
As an aside, we mostly got it for the weeks when Tahoe basin gets smoke from wildfires in NorCal etc. Ironically this year has been smoke free so far. And that doesn’t bother me a bit.Know of a pair of Fischer Ranger 107Ti 189s (new or used) for sale? PM me.

Your quote seems high compared to mine ( 4 ton 18 SEER unit installed for $6,600 ). Mine was a pretty easy install. No new ducting required, new blower on top of existing heater and a raised foundation to run the lines about 10 ft to the outdoor condenser/fan. I went with Goodman, as they had a lifetime warranty.
O and oddly, this spring/summer has been the coolest I remember in the last few years. Likely have run the AC 10 days in the last few months, BUT the hot time of year is approaching and the next 6 weeks will likely suck.

I don't have duct work, but the HVAC guy who just quoted me a mini-split said if I had ductwork it would be around 5k to do my house. The mini-split is 16k.
I bought a portable and another window unit. We don't need often enough to justify the $.

We didn’t either (radiant heat). We got quotes for a 1700sf single story space with 4:12 attic that ranged from $15k to $27k based on options that included a single zone traditional air conditioner (14 seer) to 2-zone mini-splits run off a single compressor. Bumping the seer rating above 14 added $2k it seemed to any of the options.
But, you’re welcome Portland, no 100 deg days this summer since we got AC...
I really do enjoy sleeping without sweating...

11.3k for the unit and ductwork. Second story only, walkout first floor stays cool enough and we saved a lot by only putting ductwork in the attic space.
Works great. Love it, best $$ I could ever have spent on my house. Makes fire season soooo much less stressful.

6500 for a 1.5ton with air handler and new duct work (house is hot water heat had no existing ducts). House is 1300sq ft 1 level ranch. We ran one duct to the basement for the side we plan to finish.

Even if you don't finish it it's probably better for it to be conditioned space. Doesn't have to be kept as cool as living space but it will help with dampness.

I did the spray foam on the walls too. Stuff is like concrete. Once I finish it should be super nice and add about 700.more sq ft.
