Save thousands NOW.
No Quote Necessary
That’s right. We don’t need to provide you with a quote because we give you the final price here and now. Get your heating and cooling handled without the fear of up-charges. Even all taxes are included. And don’t worry, we’ll still send you a written proposal that spells this all out.
No Down Payment
Right again. We don’t require a payment of any kind until everything is done, even if we are providing the equipment. How is this possible? Simple. This program is so popular and we are so busy that if one customer doesn’t want the furnace or A/C, the next one will.
No Ducts – No Problem
Yes, no kidding. We also have a fixed-price ductwork option. If you have a new build, if you’re doing a full-gut rehab, or if you’re replacing an old boiler system, we’ll get that taken care of for you right along with the furnace install. Check out all the programs below for details.

About Us
Our founding company has been around since 1950, and we’ve seen a lot of furnaces and air conditioners come and go. While those of us here now were not around at that founding, we work in the shadows of those before us who moved those behemoths into place and attached the ductwork like so many octopus arms.
Today’s furnaces and air conditioners are sleek, slim, lightweight, and powerful with much higher efficiencies than their ancestors. Much has changed in the last 7 decades and, even still, much has changed even in the last 5 years. We pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest technologies in heating and cooling, and have the credentials to get the job done.
We work in partnership with our customers to collect the details of their HVAC system needs that creates exceptional value and cost savings.
We-Purchase Details
$2,000
Get started by filling out the contact form, then we will pull the appropriate furnace (and/or air conditioning unit) from our inventory and schedule the installation with you. And we’ll have it all done within a few hours of arriving.
- This program includes one new York forced-air single-stage furnace up to 80,000 BTU.
- For an additional $2,500, we will provide and install a York central A/C system.

Ductwork Install Program
At first, we didn’t install ductwork in this program. Because of high demand for ducts from our customers, we’ve figured out how to do it and we can now save you hundreds or thousands of dollars at the same time as the furnace or A/C install.
Check out the program details HERE on the website.
You-Purchase Details
$1,000
Get started by filling out the contact form, purchase your new furnace from a direct-to-consumer supplier (see list below), and let us know when it has been delivered. We will schedule the installation and have it all done within a few hours of arriving.

Furnace and Air Conditioning Types
80% of the houses in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois require a standard-sized furnace and A/C package. We have defined what “standard” means and if your house is larger than, say, 2,500 square feet, you may need to kick it up a notch or two. No worries, we’ll figure that out with you.
We use York HVAC equipment, a division of Johnson Controls, a Wisconsin-based company. York is a leading manufacturer of HVAC equipment world-wide. Check out our sizing and pricing options below to see exactly what you will pay.
Why does some of the equipment cost me more than the standard $1,000?
We don’t mark-up equipment, plain and simple. We earn our business and pay our certified technicians with our labor costs. And there’s no secret to what our equipment or our labor will cost you because, well, we tell you right here on our website. We don’t even have any extra charges for emergency service. We keep all our equipment in stock and plan for three emergency installs every day, 7 days a week.
3 things have conspired to raise HVAC prices back in 2022, and we’re doing our best to minimize the impact on you, our customer, by giving you choices. You’ll get exactly what you need and want, and you will know right now what it’s going to cost. We do NOT need to meet with you in person and give you a hard up-sell.
Here’s what impacts our pricing…
The Usual Suspects
First, there’s that whole supply-chain thing that’s been happening since the pandemic. It hits the HVAC industry all over the place and manufacturers have passed along those costs to us.
Raw Materials
Second, there’s the rising cost of copper and the fabrication of the equipment itself. A/C uses a lot of copper in line sets and coils, so those increased costs are evident in the purchase price.
Climate-Change Agreements
Third, the Montreal Protocol and the U.S. EPA AIM Rule have enacted a phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) such as Freon R22, and R410A, the refrigerants in A/C units worldwide. We don’t know where this is all headed at the moment, but – you guessed it – it has caused increased A/C system costs.
The Bottom Line
We are at the mercy of our suppliers, and they have raised prices regularly since the pandemic. We do our level best to not just pass-on these increases to you, our customer. When the aggregate increases get too high for us to continue holding back, we reluctantly raise our prices as minimally as possible.
Furnace Sizing and Pricing
80% of houses in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois require what we call a standard furnace. If your house is larger than 2,500 square feet, or more than 65 years old, contact us and we’ll make sure you get the right size.
Standard furnaces are $1,000. Add or deduct the following for different sizing:
Single-Stage 80% Efficient | Single-Stage 95% Efficient | Two-Stage 96% Efficient |
---|---|---|
60,000 BTU – deduct $300 | 60,000 BTU – add/deduct $0 | 60,000 BTU – add $285 |
80,000 BTU – deduct $300 | 80,000 BTU – add/deduct $0 | 80,000 BTU – add $375 |
100,000 BTU – deduct $300 | 100,000 BTU – add $215 | 100,000 BTU – add $510 |
120,000 BTU – deduct $300 | 120,000 BTU – add $360 | 120,000 BTU – add $650 |
These furnaces qualify for up to a $150 Focus On Energy rebate.
A/C Sizing and Pricing
An A/C System consists of: (1) an evaporator coil inside the furnace, (2) a condensing unit outside, and (3) a copper line set to connect them. Because evaporator coils are nearly 100% copper and the cost of copper continues to rise, the pricing is volatile.
A condenser with a line set is $1,000. Add the following for coils:
1.5 Tons – add $550 |
2.0 Tons – add $650 |
2.5 Tons – add $800 |
3.0 Tons – add $1,000† |
3.5 Tons – add $1,000† |
4.0 Tons – add $1,200 |
†These are the same coil sets configured for the tonnage.
Frequently-Asked Questions
In what cities and towns do you do this work?
Does my existing furnace need to be working?
What's the difference between a single-stage and a multi-stage furnace?
Can you replace my hot water or boiler heating system?
I have two furnaces in my house. Does this program apply?
Can I do this for a new build?
How do I find the capacity of my furnace?
You keep mentioning BTUs. What is this and why do I care?
My furnace is fine, I just want to add central air conditioning.
How do I find the cooling capacity of my air conditioning system?
Why don't we just over-size my condenser so I am sure to have enough cooling?
While it sounds like a good idea, over-sizing your condenser unit (and accompanying evaporator coil) can cause unexpected problems. While it may seem great to cool your house down quickly, this causes a situation called “short-cycling” where the HVAC system runs and stops for a short period of time. This causes extra wear and tear on components, resulting in earlier failures. An A/C system is designed to run for a long-ish time to de-humidify the space. When your HVAC is over-sized, it doesn’t need to run long to cool the space, but de-humidification doesn’t happen, so your space may feel cold and clammy.
Also, depending on other factors such as air flow and volume, your coils may freeze up, rendering the A/C unusable. At Value HVAC, we ensure that all of your components are properly sized for your property, building insulation, and other factors.
How much more do I have to pay for taxes or other fees?
Ductwork Install Program
You can have us install ductwork for a Fixed Cost when you participate in the We-Purchase, We-Install program. We have been hearing from homeowners, contractors, and property rehabbers that want to participate in our programs that they need ductwork for their project. Here are a few of the reasons that they tell us:
- Replacing a boiler system with a conventional forced-air system.†
- A “new build” that has no ductwork or walls installed yet.
- Replacing old gravity-furnace ductwork with new sizes.
†Yes, we can remove your old boiler system. Because of the wide variance of systems, we will have to quote that as a separate job.
