AC installation cost by system.
Installed pricing for Finneytown, adjusted for local labor. Higher SEER2 tiers, larger tonnage, and new ductwork add to the base.
Finneytown homeowners considering AC installation face costs shaped by the age of the local housing stock—most homes were built around 1958—and the need to comply with Ohio mechanical codes. For a like-for-like central AC replacement, typical pricing ranges from $3,500 to $7,000+, while a new system with ductwork can run $5,300 to $11,500+. Ductless mini-splits and heat pumps offer alternatives, with heat pumps qualifying for the federal 25C tax credit (30%, up to $2,000). Given that most homes use gas heating, a hybrid AC-gas furnace system is often a practical choice for Finneytown's mixed-humid climate.
