Garland offers some of the most affordable HVAC replacement opportunities in DFW because of its smaller average home size. A 1,400–2,000 sq ft Garland home needs only a 2–3 ton system, which keeps equipment costs at the low end of the range. This makes Garland one of the few DFW cities where full AC replacement can come in near or at our starting prices.
However, Garland also has some of the oldest housing stock in the metroplex. South Garland and eastern neighborhoods have homes dating to the 1950s and 1960s — these almost always need ductwork replacement, electrical panel evaluation, and sometimes gas line upgrades alongside the AC. Total project costs for these older homes can still be very competitive, but you should budget for the additional work.
Garland's unique municipal electricity provider (Garland Power & Light) is worth mentioning because their rates differ from Oncor territory. GPL rates have been competitive historically, but the efficiency savings from upgrading a 10 SEER system to 16+ SEER still applies — you're looking at 30–40% reduction in cooling costs regardless of provider.
The City of Garland requires HVAC permits and their building department handles inspections efficiently. All permit fees are included in our pricing.
HVAC replacement costs and considerations vary by neighborhood. Here's what to expect in the most common Garland communities:
Firewheel / Country Club
Upscale newer area (1998–2012), 2,500–4,000 sq ft. Standard replacement projects with good access.
Eastern Hills
1960s–1980s homes, 1,200–1,800 sq ft. Compact systems at the most affordable price points.
Lakeview Estates
Near Lake Ray Hubbard, 2,000–3,500 sq ft (1985–2005). Lake humidity is a factor.
Buckingham / South Garland
1955–1975 homes, 1,000–1,600 sq ft. Oldest stock in Garland — likely needs ductwork.
Oakridge
Mixed vintage 1970s–1990s, 1,500–2,500 sq ft. Many R-22 systems still in operation.

A complete AC replacement in Garland costs between $9,440 and $18,545 installed in 2026, depending on system type (AC, heat pump, or all-electric), tonnage (2–5 tons), and efficiency tier (Economy, Performance, or Premium). Every price includes the full system, labor, materials, permits, and 10-year warranty.
Every installation includes the new outdoor unit (condenser or heat pump), indoor unit (furnace or air handler), evaporator coil, copper line set, concrete pad, Ecobee smart thermostat, all ductwork connections, permit and city inspection, old system removal, and a 10-year parts and labor warranty.
A standard HVAC replacement takes one day — typically 6–8 hours from start to finish. Your new system will be running the same day. Complex multi-zone installations may extend to a second day.
Yes. We offer 8.99% APR financing over 12 years, bringing monthly payments to approximately $114 per $10,000 financed. No prepayment penalties. Apply during your free assessment.
System sizing depends on your home's square footage, insulation quality, number of stories, window area, duct condition, and sun exposure. Most Garland homes (1,400–3,000 sq ft) need a 2–4 ton ton system. We perform a full load calculation on every job to ensure proper sizing — not just a guess based on square footage.
Spring (March–May) and fall (October–November) offer the best combination of comfortable weather and contractor availability. Summer emergency replacements typically cost 20–30% more due to demand and urgency. If you know your system is aging, plan ahead and replace before it fails in July.
Generally yes. A 1,500–2,000 sq ft Garland home needs a 2–2.5 ton system at the base of our pricing range. Equipment and installation costs scale with system size, so smaller homes pay less. However, very old homes (pre-1975) may need ductwork and other upgrades that add to the total project cost.
Not directly — the electrical connections are the same regardless of provider. However, GPL's rate structure may affect the payback period on efficiency upgrades differently than Oncor. We recommend at least 16 SEER for the best balance of upfront cost and long-term savings on any GPL account.
