When purchasing a new HVAC system in Oklahoma, you are essentially paying for the hardware (unit and components), the labor for installation, and any associated costs such as permits, refrigerant, and materials. The price will vary based on the type of system (split system, ductless, etc.), its efficiency (SEER rating), the size of your home, and the complexity of the installation.
In addition to standard installation costs, several other expenses may not be immediately apparent but are often associated with installations in Oklahoma. These include permits, connection fees (especially for solar panels), and potential soft costs like design or engineering.
Standard HVAC warranties in Oklahoma typically cover defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a specified period, which can range from 5 to 10 years. These warranties often include parts but may not cover labor costs for repairs or installation. Some manufacturers also offer extended warranties that may cover labor and/or extend the warranty period.
A new, more efficient HVAC system in Oklahoma can significantly reduce energy bills, potentially by 20% to 40% or more annually, according to Trane. This translates to savings of $100 to $140 or more per year.
Oklahoma offers several tax credits and rebates for energy-efficient HVAC systems, including federal tax credits and utility-sponsored programs. You should consider the following options:

• Many local utility companies in Oklahoma, such as PSO and Oklahoma Natural Gas, offer rebates for installing energy-efficient HVAC systems.
• OG&E offers rebates for home upgrades, including HVAC systems, as part of their efficiency programs.
• Some utility programs, like those offered by the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority, focus on reducing peak electric demand during summer months.
• The City of OKC provides information on various incentives and tax credits available to residents, including utility rebates for energy efficiency.
