Common questions about hvac installation costs, timelines, and what to expect.
Complete HVAC installation in Media ranges from $7,000 to $15,000 for a mid-efficiency furnace and AC combination — typically an 80 percent AFUE furnace paired with a 14.3 to 16 SEER2 condenser. High-efficiency systems with variable-speed blowers and two-stage or variable-speed compressors run $12,000 to $22,000 but deliver significantly lower operating costs and qualify for federal tax credits. Heat pump systems fall between $5,000 and $18,000 depending on whether the system is single-stage, variable-speed, or a dual-fuel configuration. Ductwork modifications or new duct runs add $1,000 to $5,000. KIC Refrigeration provides detailed written proposals for Media homeowners with every cost itemized and no hidden fees.
A standard furnace and AC replacement in Media takes 1 to 2 days when existing ductwork, gas piping, and electrical service are adequate and the new equipment fits in the same location. A complete system replacement that includes ductwork modifications, new trunk lines, equipment relocation from basement to attic or vice versa, electrical panel upgrades, or zoning system installation may take 3 to 5 days. Multi-zone mini-split installations with 3 to 5 indoor heads typically take 2 to 3 days. KIC Refrigeration provides a clear timeline in every proposal, coordinates scheduling around your Media home availability, and keeps you informed on progress every step of the way.
Yes, substantially. Replacing a 10 SEER air conditioner with a 16 SEER2 unit reduces cooling energy consumption by approximately 38 percent. Upgrading from an 80 AFUE furnace to a 96 AFUE condensing furnace saves 16 cents of every heating dollar — the old furnace sends 20 cents up the flue while the new one captures it. Combined with proper installation practices — correct refrigerant charge verified by superheat and subcooling, proper static pressure and airflow at 400 CFM per ton, sealed duct connections, and a programmable thermostat — a new system typically saves Media homeowners $600 to $1,800 per year depending on home size, usage patterns, and local energy rates.

We also help Media homeowners identify and apply for utility rebates, manufacturer rebates, and the federal energy tax credit of up to $2,000 that can reduce the net project cost significantly.
