Why use this hvac replacement cost calculator?
Estimate a preliminary HVAC replacement budget from system capacity, installed cost per ton and fixed duct, electrical, controls or permit costs. The model combines usage volume, a per-unit rate and fixed monthly cost to show total monthly cost and blended cost per unit.
Inputs used in this model
- System capacity: default example 4
- Installed equipment and labor per ton: default example 2,500
- Duct, electrical, controls and permit allowance: default example 3,500
How to interpret the result
The blended unit cost is most useful when the usage assumption is realistic; fixed charges become more important when volume is low. Change the most uncertain inputs and compare multiple scenarios rather than relying on a single default case.
How to use it
Start with the inputs shown above, review the assumptions or options, then generate the result. Where the tool creates a file, keep the original until you have opened and checked the downloaded output.
Sources and assumptions
Equipment selection should consider efficiency, climate, sizing and the existing building system.
