New Duct Setup Cost in Sacramento, CA
New duct setup is different from duct swap. Setup means adding duct runs to a space that has none. This is common in add-on rooms, ADUs, and older homes getting central air for the first time. Fresh Air gives clear per-foot prices.
ADU and Add-On Jobs
ADUs need their own duct network. A 400 sq ft ADU may need 60 to 80 linear feet of duct. At $25 to $55 per foot, that's $1,500 to $4,400 for ducts alone. Add the unit for the total.
