How much does it cost to install central air with ductwork?

Installing central air with new ductwork is priced after an in-home assessment because it includes equipment and custom duct labor. System size from a Manual J load drives cost, while duct scope and access affect time and materials. Tight attics or limited returns can shift a project more than the brand choice. We install these systems throughout the Fort Worth area. 0% APR financing is available for qualifying installs (minimum purchase $4,000).

Your price typically reflects:

  • Manual J load based on home size and heat gain.
  • New vs. reusable ducts, plus sealing or insulation needs.
  • Planned supply registers, return air paths, and any zoning or smart controls.
