You are replacing a furnace, an AC or both, and you want one company to price the whole job. For heating and cooling Los Angeles homeowners get from Los Angeles AC Pros, one visit covers the heat, the cooling and the ducts between them. If you already know you want a number, request the written quote and we will set the visit.
What sets the price of a heating and cooling replacement
The price depends on what you choose and what the house needs around it. Equipment is one part. The rest is what the technician finds on site.
- Gas furnace or heat pump for heating, and the size your home needs from a load-based sizing calculation.
- Central AC, a ductless system, or a heat pump that handles both seasons.
- The condition of the ducts and whether they suit the new equipment.
- Gas line work, if a furnace moves or is added.
- Permit and inspection steps.
We do not quote furnace or heat pump installs by phone. The technician measures, checks the duct compatibility and writes the price before any work starts. See our heating installation service for the options we install.
Pricing the cooling side, and the one-system option
On the cooling side, a typical 3-ton central AC install in Los Angeles runs $5,800 to $8,200 depending on brand, SEER2 rating, and whether you need new linesets or duct modifications. That is central AC only. A furnace or heat pump is quoted as its own line.
If your home has no ducts, or you are adding a room, a ductless system heats and cools in one unit. A single-zone ductless system, one outdoor condenser and one indoor head, runs $3,400 to $5,700 installed, including compliance and startup. A three-zone setup covering a living room, two bedrooms, and a shared hallway starts around $11,500 and scales with the number of heads and total tonnage. Our ductless mini split service covers those jobs.
Furnace, heat pump or mini split: which one to quote
Ask for the options that fit your house, then compare them on one sheet.
| Your situation | Quote these |
|---|---|
| Ducts in place, gas service available | Gas furnace plus central AC |
| Ducts in place, you want one system for both seasons | Heat pump |
| No ducts, or a converted garage or addition | Ductless mini split |
| Old gravity furnace and worn ducts | Replacement with a duct check |
Older gravity-furnace ducting needs different sizing than a slab-built ranch, so the technician sizes from the house, not from the old unit's label. If the existing furnace is repairable, say so when you book, and the quote shows repair and replacement together so you can choose.
Gas, power, permits and Title 24
Natural gas across Los Angeles is SoCalGas, and electric service in City of Los Angeles neighborhoods is LADWP. Replacing a furnace, heat pump, AC or ductwork is permitted work, and the permit comes from LADBS. Depending on the scope, Title 24 Part 6 can require duct sealing and a duct leakage test, verified by a third-party HERS rater who is not the installer.
Those steps affect the schedule and the price, so they go on the quote instead of surfacing on install day. New split AC and heat pump systems are now made with lower-GWP A2L refrigerants such as R-454B or R-32, and the technician confirms the lineset suits them. We also run a carbon monoxide safety check on heating installs.

FAQ
Can you quote the furnace and the AC in one visit?
Yes. Tell us you want both when you book. The technician prices the heating and the cooling on one written quote with each system on its own line.
Do you install heat pumps as well as gas furnaces?
Yes. Gas furnace and heat pump options are both available, and the technician explains how each fits your ducts before you choose.
Is the quote written before work starts?
Yes. The estimate is written on site and you approve it before anything is ordered or installed.
Does a replacement need a permit?
Yes. Replacing a furnace, heat pump, AC or ductwork is permitted work. In City of Los Angeles neighborhoods the permit comes from LADBS, and we handle the filing as part of the job.
