AC installation cost by system.
Installed pricing for Newberg, adjusted for local labor. Higher SEER2 tiers, larger tonnage, and new ductwork add to the base.
Newberg, Oregon, homeowners considering AC installation face typical costs ranging from $4,000 to $7,900 for a like-for-like central AC replacement, $5,900 to $12,900 for a new system with ductwork, $3,000 to $7,900 for a ductless mini-split, and $5,000 to $11,900 for a heat pump.
