Typical HVAC replacement costs in Seattle

HVAC replacement costs vary widely because each home has different comfort needs, layouts, and infrastructure.

The ranges below provide general guidance based on system type and typical installation complexity, not a guaranteed price.

  • Ductless heat pump systems: typically range from $8,000 to $25,000: Often used for homes without existing ductwork or for adding zoned comfort to specific areas. Pricing depends on the number and size of indoor units, home layout, and efficiency level.
     
  • Ducted heat pump systems: typically range from $12,000 to $28,000: Suitable for whole-home heating and cooling using existing or modified ductwork. Cost varies based on home size, duct condition, and electrical requirements
  • Gas furnace replacement (heating only): typically range from $5,000 to $10,000: Replacing an existing furnace without adding cooling. Pricing depends on efficiency level, venting requirements, and any necessary duct or safety upgrades.
     
  • Air conditioning additions or replacements: typically range from $8,000 to $18,000: Adding or replacing central air conditioning in a home with existing ductwork. Cost varies based on system size, electrical capacity, and any required duct modifications.
     
  • Hybrid / dual-fuel systems: typically range from $15,000 to $30,000: Combine a heat pump with a gas furnace for optimized efficiency and cold-weather performance. Costs vary based on system configuration and control strategy.

How to get an accurate quote

To give you an accurate HVAC installation or replacement quote—and confirm which rebates or tax credits may apply—we review a few key details during an in-home estimate:

  • Home size and layout to properly size the system

  • Existing equipment and how it’s currently configured

  • Ductwork condition and airflow (or space for ductless systems)

  • Electrical capacity and panel requirements

  • System efficiency options that may affect rebate eligibility

  • Permit and inspection requirements for your location

This ensures your quote is based on your actual home—not a generic price range.
