How much can you expect to spend on a air conditioner, heat pump and furnace in Toronto?

Price range will depend on several factors. The cost of the equipment and the cost for the labour.

Equipment costs will depend on brand, model, features, size and its energy efficiency rating. A higher efficiency HVAC system may have ahigher upfront cost. However, you could realize the savings in your energy bill over the long run.

If you plan on staying in your home for a long time, it’s better to invest in a high to ultra-high efficiency air conditioning and furnace system. It’s an investment in your home. Additionally, if you plan on selling your home down the road, high efficiency appliances could hold its value.

For labour costs, consider the complexity of the project,such as removal of the old furnace or A/C equipment, ductwork modifications / installation, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and/or conversionfrom going from electric to natural gas or oil to natural gas, etc.
