What AC Swap Costs in North Highlands
A new AC unit in North Highlands runs $4,500 to $12,000 on its own. A full swap that includes the furnace or air handler falls between $8,000 and $15,000. Size, savings rating (SEER2), and duct shape drive the difference. A 3-ton unit costs less than a 4-ton unit. A high-SEER2 unit costs more up front but cuts your SMUD bill each month. Check current rebate amounts at smud.org.
North Highlands is in Sacramento County, so SMUD customers may be able to offset part of the cost with a heat pump rebate. A unit swap is typically done in about 48 hours from permit pull to final startup. We give you a firm price before work starts. No add-ons at the end.
