Straight talk on price
No fake flat rates — every job is quoted in writing after we see it. But you deserve honest ballpark numbers before you call, so here are published local ranges and what moves them.
| Service | Typical local range | What’s involved |
|---|
| Routine service / diagnostic call | $100–$250 | Trip, diagnosis, and testing; any repair labor is quoted after we find the cause |
| AC repair or maintenance | $150–$1,500 | Varies by fault — refrigerant, electrical, a failed part, coil, or condensate work |
| Central air conditioning installation | $3,000–$6,500+ | Equipment, permits, removal, electrical, and startup; larger or higher-efficiency jobs run more |
| Furnace or boiler replacement | $4,000–$7,500 | Venting, piping or ductwork, controls, permits, removal, and manufacturer registration |
| Ductless mini-split | $3,000–$6,000 / zone | Indoor heads, line sets, electrical, and mounting; whole-home multi-zone systems scale up |
These are reference ranges, not quotes. Equipment, permits, ductwork or piping, an oil-to-gas conversion, radiant heating, and efficiency choices all move the final number. See our Newburgh furnace repair cost guide for a deeper breakdown.
Repair or replace?
We weigh safety, age, repair history, and running cost — then put a written replacement estimate next to the repair so you can compare real numbers. A sound system with a one-off part is worth fixing; a system that keeps failing or is unsafe usually isn’t. We’ll tell you honestly which one you’re looking at.
Financing & rebates
Big jobs don’t have to be paid all at once. Ask about HVAC financing, and for cold-climate heat pumps we’ll help you check current NYSERDA Clean Heat and Central Hudson incentives, plus federal tax credits. Programs change, so we verify what you actually qualify for before you commit.
