4 years ago I added on a large, all glass Florida room to my 3/2 Courtyard Villa. They wanted to put a mini split air conditioner hanging on the wall, to air condition the new room. That was about $4600.00.I didn't like the looks of that hanging on my wall. The units on my house had been installed and we're only about 8 years old and working correctly. I then priced replacing the entire house air and heat systems, I had to increase the size capacity to accommodate the new room. They replaced the air conditioner outside, the coils in the furnace and a brand new larger capacity furnace, and a new digital thermostat. The contractor had to pull new Ductwork the entire length of the house to the new room. 2 ducts,air in,& air return. 3 new duct boxes and grills, large return air box and Grill. All this came to $6,000 cash, out the door. And then I still got the rebates from the electric company and the gas company. Which if I remember right came to about seven or eight hundred dollars. So to recap I replaced everything in my house and added a new room all the ducting everything needed, labor material everything 6 grand, less the rebates. The contractor was Santos out of Wildwood. And all the new units came with the warranty as well.
