Pricing guide
Costs are driven by whether the job is a simple replacement using existing ducting or a full new‑install that needs new ducts and more materials. Equipment quality and finish level (standard versus premium) typically affect material costs and commissioning time, while site access, electrical upgrades and any hazardous‑material removal can also increase the overall scope.
New install versus replacement
Full supply-and-install jobs usually involve more materials and labour than replacements that reuse existing duct layouts.
Equipment quality and system type
Premium or high‑efficiency systems generally require higher‑grade components and slightly longer commissioning than mid‑tier packages.
Ductwork runs and access
Long runs, difficult ceiling access or roof mounting typically increase installation complexity and labour time.
Electrical upgrades and services
Required electrical work or additional services such as condensate pumping are handled as adjustments and add to the job scope.
Finish level and reinstatement
Careful high‑finish grille and ceiling reinstatement increases labour compared with standard reinstatement and excludes full structural ceiling rebuilds.
