How Much Does a New AC or Furnace Cost in Overland Park? (2026 Guide)
How much does a new heating or cooling system cost in Overland Park? For most Johnson County homes, published 2026 cost guides put a new AC at about $4,000 to $8,000 installed, a furnace at about $3,000 to $7,000, and a heat pump at about $4,500 to $8,500. Those are national averages, not ComfortPoint quotes. Your home, the size you need, and the efficiency you pick set your real number. This guide shows you exactly what moves the price, so you can plan before anyone shows up with a clipboard.
What do new HVAC systems cost in 2026?
Here are the typical installed ranges national cost guides publish for 2026. Use them for planning, not for budgeting to the dollar.
| System | Typical published range, installed |
|---|---|
| Central air conditioner | about $4,000 to $8,000 |
| Gas furnace | about $3,000 to $7,000 |
| Heat pump | about $4,500 to $8,500 |
| AC or furnace repair | about $150 to $650 |
| Seasonal tune up | about $75 to $200 |
One thing to be clear about: these are published averages, not ComfortPoint prices. Size, efficiency, your ductwork, and your home all move the number. Anyone who gives you an exact price over the phone, before seeing your home, is guessing. Want a real number instead of a range?

Why does the system you pick change the price so much?
Each system is a different amount of equipment and labor, and a different level of efficiency.
A new air conditioner is priced mostly by size, measured in tons, and by its efficiency rating, called SEER2. A higher rating costs more up front but uses less power all summer.
A new furnace is priced by its heat output, in BTUs, and its efficiency rating, called AFUE. In our cold Kansas winters, a high-efficiency furnace burns less gas to keep you warm, which lowers your bills.
A heat pump is one system that both heats and cools. It usually costs a bit more than an AC alone, but it can replace both your AC and part of your furnace work, and it is very efficient. Heat pumps are a specialty of ours.
Why does sizing matter more than almost anything?
Because a system that is the wrong size costs you money every month, no matter what you paid for it.
An oversized AC or furnace short cycles. It blasts on, hits the target fast, and shuts off, over and over. That wastes power, wears the parts out early, and leaves your home unevenly heated or cooled. An undersized system runs forever and never quite keeps up.
The right size comes from a load calculation: your square footage, your windows, your insulation, and your ductwork. It is the step cheap installers skip to save an hour, and it is the one that decides whether your new system is comfortable and efficient or a constant annoyance. We size every install this way.
What does your ductwork and home do to the price?
More than most people expect. The equipment is only half the job.
- Ductwork condition. Leaky, undersized, or crushed ducts drag down any system. Sometimes we can seal and adjust; sometimes a section needs replacing. Good ducts are what let a good system actually perform.
- What you are removing. Pulling and hauling away an old furnace or AC, and adapting the connections, is real labor built into the price.
- Efficiency level. A basic system costs less on day one. A high-efficiency one costs more up front and pays it back in lower bills over the years you own it.
- Add-ons. A new smart thermostat, zoning for a two-story home, or a whole-home humidifier each add to the total but also to your comfort.
None of this shows up in a national average. All of it shows up in your home. That is why we quote from a real look at your system, not a guess over the phone.
Is it worth paying more for high efficiency?
Often, yes, if you plan to stay in your home more than a few years.
A high-efficiency system uses less energy for the same comfort, so your monthly bills drop. Over 10 to 15 years, those savings can more than cover the higher up front cost, and utility rebates or tax credits can shrink the gap further. If you are moving soon, a mid-efficiency system may make more sense. We show you the numbers for a few options and let you choose, instead of pushing you to the top of the line.
What about repairs and tune ups?
Not every problem needs a new system. A repair on a system under about 10 to 12 years old is usually the smart spend, and published guides put most repairs at about $150 to $650. The exceptions are big-ticket failures on an old system, like a compressor or a cracked heat exchanger, where a replacement often costs less over time.
The cheapest cost of all is the breakdown you prevent. A seasonal tune up, at about $75 to $200 published, catches a weak part before it fails on the hottest or coldest day and keeps your system efficient. It is the best small money you can spend on a big system.
How do you get a real HVAC price in Overland Park?
Three steps, and only one of them is ours:
- Know your system's age. Check the label on the furnace or the outdoor AC unit for a date. Age is the single biggest clue to repair versus replace.
- Think about how long you will stay. That decides whether high efficiency pays off for you.

FAQ
Related questions
Is it cheaper to just keep repairing my old system?
For a while, yes, but not forever. Once a system is past its life and repairs come every year, those bills add up to more than a new, efficient unit would cost to run and own. The tipping point is usually a big repair on a system over 12 to 15 years old. We give you both numbers so you can see it clearly.
Do new HVAC systems come with rebates?
Often, yes. Utility rebates and federal tax credits change year to year, and high-efficiency systems and heat pumps tend to qualify for the most. We keep up with what is current and factor it into your estimate, so you see the real out of pocket cost, not just the sticker price. We never promise a rebate we cannot confirm.
Should I get more than one HVAC quote?
It never hurts, and an honest company will not mind. Just compare the same job: the same system size, the same efficiency, and whether a load calculation was actually done. A low number that skips proper sizing is not the same install. Ask every company how they sized the system, and you will learn a lot fast.
