BUYING A NEW SYSTEM
Multiple factors like where you live and how your home was constructed affect the
cost of a new system and installation.
The price of a new Trane HVAC unit or system varies based on the
type of system you choose, efficiency rating, cooling or heating stages, unit size as well as where you live and the
difficulty of the installation. Because so many factors
can affect the price of a Trane air conditioner, furnace or heat pump, listing a true price for your home isn’t
always possible - or accurate. However, here are some average HVAC installation costs homeowners can expect to help
you plan. For a custom estimate, contact your local Trane Comfort Specialist or link here for a Free Home System Estimate.
The average cost of a 3 ton entry level Trane air conditioner and replacement installation starts

A note about installation cost: Installation prices can
increase on average 20-30% depending on where you live. If your project requires new ductwork, the installation cost can be
an additional $3,000 - $10,000 depending on the size of the unit or system, the duct system and materials used.

Special product features
The good news is that you can save on your installation costs with tax credits, special offers and manufacturer rebates. You
can also make the expense more manageable by taking advantage of flexible financing options. Ultimately, a licensed dealer will need to
assess your home and install a system that’s perfect for you and your budget.
These are the key factors your Trane HVAC expert will take into
consideration for your estimate.
Where you live affects your efficiency
Region and climate matter when finding the right system for your home and saving
energy. According to DOE efficiency
standards, the same size home located in the southern half of the United States will require a larger
capacity air conditioning system than a similar home in the northern half of the United States. Of course, a
home located in the northern half of the United States will need a larger heating capacity requirement than a
home in the south.

Heating and cooling your home starts with the foundation
Homes with well-insulated windows, doors, walls, roofs, attics, floors, basements, and crawl
spaces, along with sealed exterior cracks and seams, typically require less air conditioning and heating
capacity than homes that are not well-insulated. Also, if you have a large home, you’ll need a larger unit or
even multiple systems — which will cost more.
Consider tax credits for upgrades
Your ductwork can maximize comfort and minimize energy use
Ductwork is the air distribution system in your home that directs and delivers heated or cooled
air. The ducting plays a crucial role in determining how comfortable your home is from room to room. When properly
designed and installed, a duct system can maximize comfort and minimize energy use.
If it is time to replace your system, you might need to consider making ductwork improvements at the
same time your dealer installs the new system as it can directly impact the performance and operation of your system. New ductwork can cost around $3,000-$10,000
depending on the size of the unit or system, the extensiveness of the ductwork project, the materials used and the labor intensiveness. Replacing
ductwork can take a few days to install when done correctly.

Challenging installations can cost more
It’s the details that will often drive your price higher, but usually they’re worth it to get
the job done right. Additional costs will show up when your project is extra challenging. If you have a
hard-to-access space for your system, live in a historic home that requires retrofitting, need custom parts or
additional insulation, you’ll see your HVAC installed price increase.
Look at financing options
Extras can add up to extra comfort
Your cost can also go up by adding on enhancements like climate zones with a ComfortLink™ II Zoning
System or a Trane CleanEffects™ air cleaner. These
added features mean added comfort and are worth the extra expense. You’ll also pay a little more for a system
with a higher SEER rating, but you’ll see savings in your energy bills.
