How much does it cost to replace an HVAC system?

$5,500 to $18,000 installed, averaging about $9,200 for a complete system in a typical single-family home.

How long does an HVAC system last?

Central AC and heat pumps last 12–17 years, gas furnaces 15–25 years. Replace rather than repair once you cross about 75% of that life.

What size system do I need?

Roughly one ton per 500–600 square feet as a starting point, but insist on a Manual J calculation — climate, insulation and windows change the answer.

Is a heat pump cheaper than a furnace?

A heat pump costs more upfront but usually cuts total energy bills where electricity is reasonably priced, and it qualifies for a larger tax credit.

How long does installation take?

One day for a straight equipment swap; two to four days if the ductwork or electrical service is being replaced.

What drives Beverly Hills pricing

Local labor

Licensed Beverly Hills contractors carry California workers' comp and prevailing wage pressure, and crews here quote roughly 50% above the national labor average. Demand in the Los Angeles market peaks in spring, so booking early usually beats a rush premium.

Permits & code

Beverly Hills follows the California Building Standards Code, so most structural, electrical, plumbing and re-roof work needs a permit from the Beverly Hills building department plus Title 24 energy compliance. Seismic bracing and soft-story retrofit rules apply to many older LA-area properties, and hillside lots trigger extra geotechnical review.

Climate & conditions

Beverly Hills sits in a warm Mediterranean climate with intense summer sun, so expect UV-stable, heat-tolerant materials and shaded scheduling in peak summer.
