AC installation cost by system.
Installed pricing for Murray, adjusted for local labor. Higher SEER2 tiers, larger tonnage, and new ductwork add to the base.
In Murray, Utah, AC installation costs typically range from $4,200 to $8,400 for a like-for-like central AC replacement, and $6,300 to $13,700+ if new ductwork is needed. Ductless mini-splits run $3,200–$8,400, while heat pumps cost $5,300–$12,600+. Murray’s cold-dry high-desert climate means equipment must handle hard winter heating loads, making a cold-climate heat pump (NEEP-listed) necessary for the top Rocky Mountain Power Wattsmart rebate. Most homes use gas heating, so a dual-fuel AC-gas furnace system is a strong fit for efficiency and comfort.

AC Installation in Murray, explained.
What Affects AC Installation Cost in Murray
Price varies by system type: central AC, heat pump, or ductless mini-split. Adding or modifying ductwork increases cost significantly. Equipment efficiency (SEER2 rating) and refrigerant type (R-454B or R-32, as R-410A is phased down) also affect price. A mechanical permit is required in Utah, adding a small fee. Labor rates reflect Murray’s median income of $81,693. The federal 25C tax credit (30%, up to $2,000 for heat pumps, $600 for high-efficiency AC) can lower net cost, but expires after 2025.
Common AC Installation Issues in Murray
Oversized Equipment
Many homes built around 1978 have undersized ductwork; oversized AC units short-cycle, reducing efficiency and comfort in Murray’s moderate cooling demand.
Permit Compliance
Utah requires a mechanical permit for AC installation; failing to pull one can lead to fines and issues during home sale.
Refrigerant Transition
With R-410A being phased down after 2025, new systems use R-454B or R-32; homeowners must ensure their installer uses approved refrigerants.
What to Expect During AC Installation in Murray
A licensed contractor will first perform a load calculation to size the system correctly. Installation typically takes one to two days, including removing old equipment, installing the new unit, connecting refrigerant lines, and testing. The contractor will pull a mechanical permit from the city and schedule an inspection. For heat pumps, ensure the model is NEEP-listed to qualify for the Wattsmart rebate.
