The cost to install central air with new ductwork varies widely and is finalized after an on-site assessment of your home. Most of the budget typically goes into custom duct design and installation to deliver balanced airflow room to room. We regularly install systems in older Oak Park-area homes with careful routing to preserve finished spaces. A well-sized return path often matters more for comfort than stepping up one equipment tier. Oasis Heating and Cooling provides free installation estimates and offers 60 month financing with approved credit.
Key factors that drive price:
- Home size and ceiling height
- Duct path complexity and access through finished areas
- Number and placement of supply and return vents
- Equipment efficiency and add-ons like whole-home dehumidifiers or Wi‑Fi thermostats
