Cost of Replacing Your AC and Furnace at the Same Time
When an AC or furnace fails, homeowners often face a choice: replace just one unit or do both at once. Replacing both in a single visit saves $800 to $2,000 in labor vs. two separate jobs. Fresh Air's bundled pricing reflects real Sacramento install costs from 900-plus projects.
Matched Units Run Better
AC and furnace parts are built to work together. Pairing a new AC with a 15-year-old furnace can cut unit savings and may affect the warranty on the new gear.
Fresh Air's Full Swap Price Range
A full split unit swap at Fresh Air runs $8,000 to $15,000 based on tonnage, savings tier, and duct shape. Bundled pricing fits within that same range when both units are done together.
What Affects the Cost of a Bundled AC and Furnace Swap
- Tonnage based on your home's size and Manual J calc.
- SEER2 rating on the AC and AFUE rating on the furnace.
- Whether duct work needs repair or changes during the install.
- Panel capacity and whether an upgrade is needed.
- Permit fees for the city or county where your home is located.
- Gear brand and model tier (standard, mid, or high-savings).
- Access factors like attic installs, crawl spaces, or rooftop units.
When Replacing Both Makes Financial Sense
If your AC is over 12 years old and your furnace is over 15 years old, replacing both at once is often the better choice. The labor savings offset some of the added gear cost. A matched unit may also qualify for SMUD rebates that a mismatched one would not.
Fresh Air's milestone billing means you pay as the project moves, not in one lump sum upfront. We give you a written price before any work starts. Our free estimates cover both units so you can compare the bundled cost against replacing just one. CSLB license 945361, in business since 2009.
