Replacing a furnace, central air conditioner, or heat pump can be a significant investment for many U.S. households. People searching for Costco HVAC Pricing often want to know whether Costco publishes a price list, how the quote process works, and how member benefits may affect the overall value of a project.

Costco does not list fixed HVAC prices that apply nationwide. Costs are generally determined only after a participating provider evaluates the home, existing system, and required scope of work. Therefore, the cost ranges in this guide are intended only to support budgeting and are not official Costco HVAC prices.

This guide explains how the Costco HVAC program may work, how to request a Costco HVAC quote, which factors can influence installation costs, and what members should review before comparing equipment, warranties, and available benefits.

How the Costco HVAC Program Works

Through the Costco HVAC program, Costco connects members with HVAC professionals in its selected provider network. The professionals who perform the assessment and installation are generally independent contractors or authorized dealers, not direct Costco employees.

Members can submit a consultation request through Costco.com. A participating provider in the area may then contact the member to arrange an in-home assessment, discuss equipment options, and prepare a written estimate.

Service availability may vary by ZIP code. Costco also states that, in some locations, it may sell the equipment and refer the customer to a dealer, while the customer pays the dealer separately for installation.

Before signing a contract, buyers should confirm:

Which party supplies the equipment
Which party is responsible for installation
Whether payment is made to Costco or the dealer
Who provides the labor warranty
Which costs may qualify for member benefits

HVAC Brands Available Through Costco

Costco’s U.S. HVAC page currently features options from:

Lennox Heating & Air Conditioning Systems
Carrier Heating & Air Conditioning Systems

Brand availability may vary by region and provider network. People searching for Costco Lennox HVAC or Costco Carrier HVAC should not assume that both brands are available in every ZIP code.

Equipment that may be offered or discussed during the consultation includes:

Gas furnaces
Central air conditioners
Heat pumps
Ductless mini-split systems
Smart thermostats
Indoor air quality equipment

The model, capacity, efficiency rating, and warranty should be confirmed in the actual Costco HVAC quote.

How Costco HVAC Pricing Is Determined

There is no standard Costco HVAC installation cost for every home. Two homes with similar square footage may still receive different quotes because of existing system conditions, installation location, and technical requirements.

Factors that commonly affect HVAC pricing include:

Home size and layout
Heating and cooling load
System type and capacity
SEER2, HSPF2, or AFUE efficiency rating
Ductwork condition
Electrical or gas-line requirements
Permit and inspection fees
Removal of existing equipment
Local labor rates
Thermostat or optional accessories
Installation access and complexity

For example, Costco furnace replacement cost may increase if a project requires ductwork repairs or gas-line adjustments. Similarly, Costco air conditioning installation may cost more when electrical upgrades, new refrigerant lines, or difficult installation access are involved.

How to Get a Costco HVAC Quote

Because Costco does not publish nationwide HVAC prices, members generally need to submit a consultation request and receive a customized estimate from a participating local provider.

During the home assessment, the provider may review the existing equipment, ductwork, system capacity, efficiency preferences, and electrical or gas requirements.

Before accepting a Costco HVAC quote, buyers should check whether the written estimate clearly includes:

Equipment brand, model, and efficiency rating
Installation labor
Removal of old equipment
Permit and inspection costs
Ductwork or electrical modifications
Manufacturer warranty and labor warranty
The portion of the cost that may qualify for a Costco Shop Card
Additional charges that may apply

Homeowners may also compare the Costco quote with one or two estimates from other licensed HVAC contractors. For a meaningful comparison, the estimates should use similar equipment, efficiency levels, and installation scopes.

General U.S. HVAC Cost Estimates

Costco does not publish official prices by system type. The figures below are based on nationwide replacement estimates published by Trane and are provided only to help homeowners understand a possible budgeting range.

These are not Costco, Lennox, or Carrier prices.

Project Type	Estimated U.S. Cost Range	Factors to Consider
Furnace replacement	$5,093–$8,390	Capacity, AFUE, and gas-line work
Air conditioner replacement	$6,568–$13,669	Tonnage, SEER2, and ductwork
Heat pump replacement	$7,369–$15,608	Capacity, HSPF2, and system configuration
Cold-climate heat pump	$7,983–$17,012	Climate design and electrical upgrades

A separate manufacturer pricing guide from Bryant estimates that a full HVAC installation may range from $7,000 to $20,000, depending on home size, equipment efficiency, and installation complexity.

An actual Costco HVAC quote may be lower or higher than these reference ranges. Projects that require extensive ductwork, zoning, electrical panel upgrades, or premium variable-speed equipment may exceed typical ranges.

How the Costco Shop Card May Apply

As of July 2026, Costco’s U.S. HVAC page advertises a 10% Costco Shop Card on qualifying heating and air conditioning purchases.

The Costco Shop Card is not a direct reduction from the installation estimate. Its value is generally calculated on the pretax price of qualifying installed purchases. Preparation work or additional products may not be included in the calculation.

Illustrative Example

Qualifying pretax amount: $10,000
Listed Shop Card rate: 10%
Illustrative Shop Card value: $1,000

This example applies only if the entire $10,000 qualifies. Buyers should ask the dealer to identify which portion of the quote is eligible for the Costco Shop Card.

Promotion rates and terms may change over time. Members should not assume that the 10% rate or another seasonal promotion will still be available on the purchase date.

Executive Membership and the Annual 2% Reward

Costco Executive Members may currently earn an annual 2% Reward, up to $1,250, on qualified purchases. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply.

An eligible portion of an HVAC purchase may count toward the annual 2% Reward, depending on how the transaction is processed and Costco’s current terms.

Buyers should confirm:

Which equipment costs are processed through Costco
Which installation costs are considered eligible purchases
Whether payments made directly to the dealer qualify
Total qualified purchases during the membership year
The remaining Reward cap

The Costco Shop Card and Executive Member Reward should not be combined into a guaranteed savings amount before the eligibility of each cost component is confirmed.

What to Review Before Accepting a Quote

A Costco HVAC quote should not be evaluated only by its total price or Shop Card percentage. Before signing a contract, consider reviewing:

Equipment model, capacity, and efficiency rating
Installation scope and excluded work
Permit, disposal, and modification costs
Manufacturer warranty and labor warranty
Payment responsibilities between Costco and the dealer
Shop Card-eligible amount
Applicable utility rebates or tax incentives

A lower quote may not provide better value if it excludes equipment removal, permits, ductwork, or labor protection.

Utility rebates and tax incentives should also be verified according to ZIP code, equipment model, and installation date. These benefits should not be treated as guaranteed until the official requirements have been reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Costco install HVAC systems directly?

Not in every case. Installation is generally handled by independent HVAC professionals or authorized dealers. In some locations, Costco may sell the equipment and refer the customer to a dealer for installation.

Does Costco only offer Lennox HVAC systems?

No. Costco’s U.S. website currently features both Lennox and Carrier. However, brand and service availability may vary by region.

When is the Costco Shop Card sent?

According to Costco’s current information, a digital Shop Card may take up to seven days after Costco receives the signed project completion paperwork. If a plastic Shop Card is selected, processing and delivery may take up to four weeks.

Is Costco HVAC Pricing always lower than local contractors?

This cannot be guaranteed. Overall value depends on the equipment, installation scope, warranties, contractor responsibilities, and eligible member benefits. Comparing written estimates with similar scopes is more useful than looking only at the initial price.

Conclusion

The Costco HVAC program may help U.S. members explore Lennox or Carrier systems, request an in-home consultation, and review benefits such as the Costco Shop Card and Executive Member Reward.

However, Costco HVAC Pricing is not a fixed price list, and member benefits do not automatically apply to every cost. Before making a decision, buyers should request a detailed written quote, confirm Shop Card eligibility, review warranty terms, and compare estimates with similar equipment specifications and installation scopes.
