re: New AC install price in the NOLA area.

There are a lot of factors in AC installation cost. What unit you’re getting, pitch of your roof, what type of ducts, etc. Plus they’re hauling off a ton of material. $25K seems steep, but if you’re expecting under $10K don’t expect a great product. I’m not in your area but if someone on this board has had a good experience with a specific installer, I’d lean in that direction.
