If you are one of the many throughout the Houston area that are considering adding air conditioning to your gas furnace, it is much easier and less costly that most might think. For a home that already has ducts installed and in place and your home is roughly around 2,000 square foot home you are looking at it costing around $3.500 to $4,000. It can take little to no duct work needing to be done and within two to three days by two technicians.
When it comes to a home that does need duct work, you can hire a contractor that has experience with retrofitting to hide the ductwork behinds walls in areas such as closets or up in the attic. They can do this with little cuts to the walls and ceiling and very little mess. The cost to have this done can be about $7,000 to $8,000 to have done and the time needed can vary up to a week, give or take.
