The same retailer prices four 2.5 ton systems on different furnace and AC pairings. The 14.0 SEER2 pairing posted lowest at $4,108. The 15.2 SEER2 pairing topped the group at $4,889. That is a $781 spread at one size. The furnace stage changes with the pairing too, so a higher rating is not a straight line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pm__inline-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Turn a job photo into an itemized estimate, free &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What does labor cost on top of the equipment?<\/h2>\n<p>HVAC mechanics and installers earn a $31.14 mean and $29.33 median hourly wage nationally.

Ask your installer to name the exact model pairing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Add labor, permit, and disposal as separate lines<\/h3>\n<p>The equipment price covers material only.
