Does anyone know how much it costs to have a central air unit and ductwork installed?

We already have the unit & ductwork, we just need someone to install it. This guy came over to do a free estimate, & said it would cost $5000 dollars to do. Is that too much?

Answers:
Definitely too much just for an installation. That sounds about the starting price for a new unit and duck-work. You should shop around, even check with friends if they know someone who works in the HVAC field. This guys do work on the side for extra money and can definitely give you a better deal.

It depends on these factors:

1. the size of your house
2. the efficiency of the unit. More efficiency = higher initial cost
but long term power savings
3. the configuration of your attic
4. where you want to put the air handler and the compressor

$5,000 could be a good or a high price. Maybe you want an estimate from another contractor.
