The short answer
$1,000–$4,500
The coil itself, refrigerant recovery and recharge, and real labor — the coil lives above or inside your furnace. Age and refrigerant type steer the honest recommendation.

What moves the price
Sealed-system work
Coil replacement means recovering refrigerant, cutting in the new coil, pressure testing, vacuum and recharge — skilled hours, done right or done twice.
Matching matters
The coil must match the outdoor unit’s capacity and refrigerant. Mismatched coils quietly wreck efficiency and compressor life.
Access
A coil in an accessible plenum vs one entombed above a furnace in a closet — same part, different labor.
Refrigerant era
On an R-22 system, a new coil is money into a platform the industry left behind — replacement math usually wins. We show it plainly.
Sealed-system work, done once.

Quick answers
Why so expensive for one part?
It’s the refrigerant circuit, not a bolt-on. Recovery, brazing, nitrogen testing, deep vacuum, weighed recharge — the price is mostly the craft that keeps it sealed for the next decade.
Coil leak or whole-system replacement?
Under ~10 years and R-410A: coil replacement is sound. Older, R-22, or paired with other failures: the same money leans hard toward a new system. Both numbers, upfront, your call.
How do I know my coil is the problem?
Ice on the indoor unit, hissing, oily residue, cooling that fades — classic signs. Our frozen AC guide covers what to check before you book.
