What's the average cost to install central air into a home that doesn't have it?
Does anyone have any experience with this?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"When added to an existing forced-air heating system, central air for a 2,000-square-foot home costs $3,500 to $4,000 and can be done by two technicians in two to three days, often with little or no change to the ducting.
For a house that needs ducts, the costs and work time double. But a contractor experienced in retrofitting can cleverly hide ductwork behind walls, in the back of closets and up in the attic with minimal cuts into walls and the ceiling and very little mess."
So that means that you are looking at spending about $8,000 for central air.

You may very well get some good insights from the professionals who actually see your place. There may be a unique problem or a unique opportunity that only a professional will see.

Thanks from me. It's infuriating when no one will even give you a ballpark figure for a job. You don't know if it's worth asking for estimates or not.
