Ogden, Utah: HVAC Replacement Cost Calculator

Replacing an HVAC system in Ogden typically runs $3,500 to $7,000 for a gas furnace alone, $4,000 to $7,500 for central air conditioning, and $7,500 to $13,000 for a matched furnace-and-AC pair installed together. Heat pumps land between $6,000 and $12,000, while a ductless mini-split setup ranges from $3,500 to $10,000 depending on how many zones you need. Labor in Ogden runs about 7% below the national benchmark, with local HVAC technicians earning around $28.85 an hour, which keeps installed pricing modestly under what homeowners pay in higher-cost metros.

Worked example

Take a 1,900-square-foot two-story home in east Ogden with a 20-year-old gas furnace and an outdoor AC condenser that finally quit. The homeowner replaces both at once so the coil, blower, and refrigerant type all match. With existing ductwork in usable shape and a straightforward attic-and-basement layout, this job lands near the middle of the $7,500 to $13,000 combined range — roughly $9,500 to $10,500. Pushing toward the $13,000 end would mean higher-efficiency equipment, a new line set, or duct and electrical work uncovered during the swap.

Frequently asked questions

Does a heat pump make sense in Ogden's climate?

Ogden sits in climate zone 5, where winters are cold enough that heat pump sizing and backup heat matter. Modern cold-climate heat pumps handle these temperatures, but expect $6,000 to $12,000 installed, and confirm with your contractor how the system will perform on the coldest January mornings.

Is it cheaper to replace just the furnace or do both units at once?

A furnace alone runs $3,500 to $7,000 and central AC alone runs $4,000 to $7,500, so separate jobs total $7,500 to $14,500. Doing both together costs $7,500 to $13,000 because you pay for only one installation visit and the components are matched from the start.

Why is HVAC labor less expensive in Ogden than in other cities?

Ogden's labor index is 0.93, about 7% below the national average, with local HVAC technicians earning roughly $28.85 per hour. Since labor is a large share of any installation, that difference shows up as lower installed totals compared with higher-wage markets.

What does a ductless mini-split cost in Ogden?

Mini-splits in Ogden run $3,500 to $10,000 installed. A single indoor head serving one room or a finished basement sits near the bottom of that range, while a multi-zone system covering several rooms in an older Ogden home without ductwork moves toward the top.
