Installed pricing for Macedonia, adjusted for local labor. Higher SEER2 tiers, larger tonnage, and new ductwork add to the base.
In Macedonia, Ohio, the typical cost to install a central air conditioner ranges from $3,700 to $7,500 for a like-for-like replacement, and $5,600 to $12,200+ if new ductwork is needed. Ductless mini-splits run $2,800–$7,500, and heat pumps $4,700–$11,200+. With a median home age of 34 years and high homeownership (84.9%), many residents are upgrading aging systems.
