AC installation cost by system.
Installed pricing for Lehi, adjusted for local labor. Higher SEER2 tiers, larger tonnage, and new ductwork add to the base.
In Lehi, Utah, a typical central AC like-for-like installation runs $4,400–$8,800+, while a new system with ductwork costs $6,600–$14,300+. Ductless mini-splits range $3,300–$8,800, and heat pumps $5,500–$13,200+. Because Lehi sits in a cold-dry high desert, equipment must handle hard winter heating loads, making a gas furnace paired with an AC (or a cold-climate heat pump) a common choice. Mechanical permits are required, and the minimum SEER2 is 13.4 in the North region. Refrigerant R-454B or R-32 is now standard as R-410A phases down after 2025.

What Lehi code requires
Installing or replacing an HVAC system in Lehi follows Utah rules under the state mechanical code. Here’s what applies statewide:
- PermitRequired
Mechanical permit pulled by your licensed HVAC contractor; covers equipment, refrigerant, and the electrical disconnect.
- SEER2 minimum13.4 SEER2 (North)
Federal North-region minimum for new split-system AC. Higher tiers cut bills and unlock rebates.
- Load calculationRecommended
Sizing by load calc — not rule of thumb — prevents an oversized unit that short-cycles and never dehumidifies.
- RefrigerantR-454B / R-32 (R-410A phased down 2025+)
- Good to know—
Cold-dry high-desert climate: equipment should be sized for hard winter heating loads, and a cold-climate (NEEP-listed) heat pump is required to earn the top Rocky Mountain Power Wattsmart rebate.

AC Installation in Lehi, explained.
What Drives AC Installation Costs in Lehi
Prices vary with system type and size: a like-for-like central AC is more affordable than a full ductwork replacement. Heat pumps cost more upfront but may qualify for the federal 25C tax credit (30%, up to $2,000). Labor reflects local rates, and permit fees add a small amount. Choosing a cold-climate heat pump (NEEP-listed) can unlock the top Rocky Mountain Power Wattsmart rebate, lowering net cost.
Common AC Installation Issues in Lehi
Oversized Equipment
Many contractors oversize units for cooling, but Lehi's cold winters require proper load calculation to avoid short cycling and poor heating performance.
Ductwork Condition
Homes built around 2006 may have undersized or leaky ducts, especially if adding a new AC to an existing furnace, requiring duct modifications or replacement.
Refrigerant Transition
With R-410A being phased down, installers must use R-454B or R-32, which may require different equipment and handling, potentially affecting cost and availability.
What to Expect During Installation
A licensed contractor will first perform a load calculation to size the system. They pull a mechanical permit from Lehi or Utah County. Installation typically takes one to three days: removing old equipment, installing new lineset and wiring, setting the outdoor unit, and testing. For a heat pump or AC with gas furnace, they'll also connect to existing ductwork and verify proper refrigerant charge.
