AC installation cost by system.
Installed pricing for Burkburnett, adjusted for local labor. Higher SEER2 tiers, larger tonnage, and new ductwork add to the base.
Burkburnett homeowners considering AC installation face costs that reflect the local housing stock and climate. With a median home age of 54 years, many homes need new ductwork or system upgrades to meet modern efficiency standards. The hot-humid climate drives high cooling demand, making a properly sized system essential. A heat pump is recommended for its heating and cooling efficiency, and the federal 25C tax credit can offset up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps. Typical installed prices range from $3,300 to $6,600 for a like-for-like central AC, $4,900 to $10,700+ for new central AC with ductwork, $2,500 to $6,600 for a ductless mini-split, and $4,100 to $9,900+ for a heat pump. All work must be done by a TDLR-licensed contractor who pulls the required mechanical permit.

With a long, hard cooling season here, stepping up the SEER2 tier pays back through lower summer bills. A pro can confirm the right size and system for your home with a load calculation.
