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

1

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.

2

Matching matters

The coil must match the outdoor unit’s capacity and refrigerant. Mismatched coils quietly wreck efficiency and compressor life.

3

Access

A coil in an accessible plenum vs one entombed above a furnace in a closet — same part, different labor.

4

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.

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.
