Brazing a filter drier into the refrigerant line set during an AC installation
During the 2025-2026 heating season, our average cost for a complete AirQuest furnace and AC installation was $12,688. That figure covers the equipment, labor, tax, warranty coverage, and permits, not just a unit price pulled off an invoice. It isn't a quote for your home: the size of your house, the efficiency rating you choose, and the specific equipment needed will move that number up or down. We'll give you the real number for your home before you commit to anything.

The only way to know is a real diagnostic visit, not a phone estimate. A 12-year-old system with a failed compressor is almost always a replacement. A 12-year-old system with a bad capacitor that costs $150 to fix is not. We'll tell you what's actually wrong, what it will cost to fix, and how that compares to what a replacement would run. Then you decide. We don't push either direction. If you want a second opinion on a replacement quote you've already received, we offer that too. Our cooling services page covers the full scope of what we handle if you want to see the broader picture before calling.

The same two-person installation crew handles every job. Not whoever is available, not a rotating roster of subcontractors. The same people, every time. That matters because accountability lives in familiarity. They know how the work is supposed to go because they've done it together, consistently. On installation day, you'll receive a confirmation message and a reminder ahead of the appointment. When the crew is on the way, you get a text with the technician's name and photo. We arrive within the scheduled window, not sometime that afternoon. The crew removes the old equipment, installs and wires the new system, checks refrigerant charge and airflow, and walks you through the new equipment before they leave. Jason inspects every completed installation personally. If you're also considering replacing your furnace at the same time, check out our furnace installation page. Pairing the two installs in a single visit often reduces total cost and labor time.

We get asked about this. AirQuest isn't a household name the way some competitors are, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. What it is: equipment built on the same platform as Carrier, with strong manufacturer warranty coverage and dependable performance across Minnesota summers. You're not paying for a name that gets advertised during NFL games. If you register the equipment within the required window, many AirQuest systems qualify for a 10-year parts limited warranty plus a No Hassle Replacement Limited Warranty. As an AirQuest Elite Dealer, Full Time extends that No Hassle Replacement coverage by two additional years on qualifying installs. That's real coverage, not a marketing line. We chose AirQuest because it performs well, holds up in the field, and gives our customers solid warranty protection without inflating the equipment cost.
New AC installed
Jason was professional and quick. Love supporting small business. He came out and did all he could, when it couldn’t be repaired he came back and installed a new AC. My dogs loved him too.
