AC installation cost by system.
Installed pricing for Maryville, adjusted for local labor. Higher SEER2 tiers, larger tonnage, and new ductwork add to the base.
In Maryville, Missouri, the cost of installing a central air conditioner typically ranges from $3,100 to $6,200 for a like-for-like replacement, while a new system with ductwork can run $4,600 to $10,100 or more.
