Commercial HVAC systems are essential for comfort & compliance in modern buildings—but they come at a price. In 2025, those prices are influenced by more than just unit size. Let’s break it down. 
Equipment Type Matters
VRF systems, rooftop units, split systems—all have different efficiencies and upfront costs. Picking the right one depends on building size, zoning needs & budget.
Location-Based Cost Variance
Labor rates, permitting fees & climate affect installation costs. A project in NYC won’t cost the same as one in Austin.
Building Specs
Older buildings often need ductwork retrofitting or asbestos abatement. Newer constructions offer flexibility but may require energy code compliance.
Budgeting Tips
Don’t just look at the unit cost. Include ductwork, controls, zoning, labor, and future maintenance. Consider long-term energy savings too.
