I may be completely misunderstanding the system that is in place, but I believe there is ductwork in place (if someone could also give a way to tell I'd appreciate it). If I was only buying the main unit how much would that cost?

It will all depend on the unit you need. There are different ton-ages. A small house a one ton unit they get larger. I have a 1800 sq ft house and have a 3 ton unit. My husband deals in this and he is not here to ask. You will have to buy it through a dealer and have them install it so it is warranted.
And it also depends where you live as to cost. I am in Oklahoma and my cost here may be different than where you are. If you are in the OKC area contact me and we will see what we can do to help.
Good luck

If you already have a central heating system with appropriate ductwork in place, adding a central air unit should run roughly $3000. If your electrical system is not capable of handling the required electrical load for central AC, add another $1000 to upgrade that to standard.

Don't know about Ohio, but in May '06 it cost $4000 on LI in NY. That included insulated flexible vent tubing. The separate tubing made sense because the existing duct work was on the bottom of the walls because heat rises. The new flexible ducts are now in the ceiling because cold air falls to the floor. They are also an insulated tubing while the heat ducts are bent steel without any insulation on the outside.

The best advice is free. HVAC contractors will give you a free estimate for this kind of installation. In fact, even if you did it yourself, they will point out what needs to be done. Try to get at least 3 estimates to compare bids. What the heck, it's free. BTW, this is not an easy do it yourself project.

its not just the square footage, they take into account ceiling height and determine the volume of your home and compute BTU load.and then figure out how many tons you need.where you have the duct work in place that's good. id say between 3 to 6 thousand.
