How Much Does It Cost to Replace Your Air Conditioning?

The Average Price to Install AC in Maryland

The reason why you may be having trouble finding reliable information about the cost of replacing an AC unit is that the price can vary, depending on factors like:

• The brand of equipment
• The size of the unit (Bigger is not always better when it comes to AC—you need to work with a contractor that will correctly size the unit for your home)
• The contractor’s installation costs
• Tax credits and rebates in your area

In general, air conditioner replacement costs average between $5,000 and $10,000.
