What to Expect: HVAC Costs

Most people don't know much about their HVAC systems. And that's OK, as long as you have a trained, experienced technician to take care of problems for you. But until you find that technician, you're often flying blind. One quotes you a price for fixing your A/C, and it seems a little high, but in the end, you have no frame of reference for what the actual price should be.So here's a helpful guide to various HVAC costs you can expect.

Repair Costs

In Broken Arrow, the average HVAC repair job will cost you $212. You can expect to pay a minimum of $100, just for basic service fees, and possibly up to $400. Bear in mind, this is a bit higher than the national average and that more extensive repairs can run higher yet.Also note that your HVAC costs are very much dependent on what repairs need to be made, how serious they are, and what you're willing to pay for. Replacing your thermostat, for example, can cost anywhere from $60, for a basic model, to $250, for a top of the line Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat. And one of your most expensive repairs will be to replace your air compressor. That can range anywhere from $1,350 to $1,800, depending on what size and type of compressor you need.

Annual Maintenance

There are other types of HVAC costs besides just repairs. In order to make sure your system is running at peak efficiency, your HVAC technician needs to perform annual maintenance. Keeping up with this can help you avoid expensive repairs later, and extend the life of your system overall.On average, you can expect to pay between $70 and $100 for your maintenance visit. Or, by paying just a little more, you can get a service contract. For a flat annual fee, not only do you get scheduled tuneups for both your A/C and furnace, but service visits for basic repairs as well.
