How HVAC Pricing Works
HVAC pricing combines labor, equipment, and overhead costs. Residential installs typically range from $3,000-$12,000 depending on system type and complexity. Commercial projects can exceed $50,000.
Your labor rate should cover technician wages, benefits, insurance, and profit. Most HVAC businesses charge $75-$150/hour for skilled technicians. Emergency and after-hours rates are typically 1.5-2x standard.
Material costs vary dramatically by system type: mini-splits ($1,500-$3,000), central AC ($2,500-$7,500), commercial rooftop units ($5,000-$20,000+).
