Here’s What People Are Asking About HVAC Installation:
How much does it cost to install HVAC systems?
- Your HVAC installation cost will depend on a number of factors unique to your home, such as square footage, local climate, budget considerations and energy efficiency needs.
- The Home Depot offers a range of financing options to make your purchase as affordable and stress-free as possible. To find out more, schedule a free consultation with a Home Depot Installer.
My A/C or furnace has stopped working. Should I repair or replace it?
- If a major fix is necessary, first determine whether repairs will be covered under warranty.
- If your HVAC system is more than 10 years old, the cost of repairing or replacing a major component may not be worth it compared to hiring a heating and air conditioning contractor for your furnace and/or air conditioning replacement.
How long does an HVAC system last?
- On average, a furnace can last 15-20 years, while an air conditioner can be expected to last 10-15 years. Heat pumps can last anywhere between 10-20 years.
- Unique conditions such as local climate can put additional stress on these systems and affect how long they last.
- We strongly advise annual maintenance appointments with licensed Home Depot heating and AC installers in order to maximize the useful life of your system and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs.
What are some signs that I need a new HVAC system?
- If your furnace is taking too long to switch on, failing to deliver enough heat, showing signs of corrosion, producing odd smells (such as rotten eggs) or having frequent pilot light failures, our furnace installers may recommend HVAC replacement.
- For an air conditioner or heat pump, look for: ineffective heating or cooling, excessive noise, buildup of moisture or humidity, longer run times or foul “burning” smells. All are likely signs you need to consult our air conditioning and heat pump installers to determine whether to replace your current system.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
“HVAC” is an acronym for “Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.” It refers to the various systems we use for heating and cooling our homes and indoor spaces. The Home Depot offers a full range of HVAC systems and components available for installation.
-
- High-efficiency HVAC systems are designed to use less energy to heat or cool your home. They don’t have to work as hard to do the same job as an older and/or less-efficient unit.
- For example, a high-efficiency gas furnace rated at 96 per cent AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) is designed to deliver 96 per cent of the heat it produces to your home and lose just 4 per cent. An older system, at 80 per cent AFUE, loses 20 per cent.
- Upgrading to a system that wastes less energy means you’re consuming less energy and, most likely, saving money.
-
- Heat pumps are often preferred over both furnaces and air conditioners in part because they combine heating and cooling and offer excellent energy efficiency.
- Choosing between a furnace and heat pump may depend on whether your home is set up for gas or electric heating, or if you have a preference for one or the other.
- Additionally, homeowners may prefer ductless system installation in cases where whole-home HVAC solutions are not needed.
-
- The correct-sized HVAC unit depends on the square footage of your home, as well as the number of rooms; during your free, in-home consultation, a Home Depot heating and air conditioning contractor will help you find the right-sized HVAC system for your home.
- Bigger is not necessarily better: an HVAC system that is too large for your home may not regulate temperature or humidity as efficiently or effectively as a correctly sized one. A mismatched system may also break down sooner.
-
- With annual maintenance, an HVAC system should last for many years. Still, the efficiency of an HVAC unit can drop over time, meaning your utility bills go up.
- An aging furnace may even pose a serious health risk to anyone living in your home: if the heat exchanger or flue pipes have cracked, it could be leaking deadly carbon monoxide.
-
- AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) is used for rating gas furnaces. It measures the percentage of heat produced versus the overall fuel consumed. Anything over 90 per cent is considered “high efficiency”.
- SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) is used to measure the cooling efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps. While all new units are rated 13.00 or higher, SEER ratings below 10.00 were common just a decade ago.
-
- While removal of the old HVAC unit is covered as part of this service, disposal is not covered and must be arranged with your heating and AC installers before they arrive at your home.
- Please note that additional charges may apply for disposal of your old HVAC unit.
-
- High efficiency is best. Look for furnaces with AFUE ratings of 95 per cent or higher, air conditioners with SEER ratings of 13.0 or higher, and heat pumps with HSPF ratings of 8.2 or higher.
- Consider trusted brands. The Home Depot’s heating and air conditioning installers carry dependable heating and cooling equipment options from top brands such as Trane, Comfortmaker, Ameristar, and more.
- Our air conditioning, heat pump and furnace installers will ensure your new system is sized to match your living space.
-
- “BTU” stands for “British Thermal Unit”, which is used to measure thermal energy output. It takes 1 BTU to change the temperature of a pound of water at sea level by 1 degree Fahrenheit.
- BTU ratings on HVAC systems reflect overall output. The amount of BTUs you need depends on the size of the space to be heated or cooled. Request a FREE consultation today with The Home Depot’s heating and air conditioning installers and they will help you find the correctly sized HVAC system for your home.
-
- Yes. All Trane furnaces, central air conditioners and heat pumps are compatible with smart thermostat technology. The same goes for all similar HVAC installation options available from a licensed Home Depot heating and air conditioning contractor.
- In some cases, your home's HVAC wiring may need to be adjusted to accommodate a smart thermostat. During your free, in-home consultation, a Home Depot Installer will be able to determine whether any such work is required.

Upgrade your home’s heating and cooling systems with effective, energy-efficient HVAC installation solutions from The Home Depot’s licensed air conditioning, heat pump and furnace installers.
Protect your budget
If your HVAC system is more than 10 years old, it’s likely no longer under warranty. This means, with few exceptions, you’re on the hook when your HVAC contractors arrive to repair your aging equipment. Generally, the older your equipment gets, the more cost-effective it becomes to consider HVAC replacement rather than keep your old system running for yet another season.
Consider your safety
While it’s tempting to keep an old gas furnace for as long as it still heats your home, there’s a point when doing so can become a safety concern. This is because wear and tear on an aging gas furnace can cause small cracks to form in the heat exchanger or the flue pipes, which in turn allows carbon monoxide to leak into your home. Our experienced furnace installers will be able to identify whether upgrading to a safe new system is the best choice.
Choose reliability
Most heating and air conditioning installers will tell you that your HVAC equipment, if properly maintained, can be expected to last 15-20 years. This is true; however, most systems become less reliable as they age.
When considering normal wear and tear, along with warranty and safety issues, you start to see clear benefits to choosing new, high-efficiency HVAC installation over continued repair and maintenance of an old system.
Improved energy efficiency
Even a high-efficiency HVAC unit from a decade ago can’t compete head-to-head with similar systems offered today. This means that if you haven’t had a new air conditioning installation and/or furnace installation in the last 10 years or more, it’s likely that you’re not benefitting from the great advances in energy efficiency we’ve experienced since your home’s last HVAC installation.
Upgrade your equipment
New HVAC systems work better than aging ones, so any new air conditioning installation or furnace installation is an upgrade from your current equipment. Additionally, improvements such as variable-speed blower motors and smart home compatibility mean that new HVAC installation options can deliver superior comfort throughout your home more efficiently and effectively. In some cases, innovations that were considered top-of-the-line a few years ago are now standard even for lower-priced systems.
Investing in high-efficiency air conditioning and furnace installation can save you money in the long run and provide lasting comfort to your home. Book a FREE, in-home consultation with The Home Depot’s heating and air conditioning installers and plan your new HVAC installation today.
