How our NATE-certified technicians deliver quality hvac installation results from start to finish.
KIC Refrigeration begins every HVAC installation in Chester, NH with a detailed in-home survey and ACCA-compliant Manual J load calculation. We account for your home envelope, duct losses, infiltration, occupancy, and the local NH design temperatures for both heating and cooling seasons.
Based on load calculations and your priorities — efficiency, noise level, budget, zoning — we recommend specific equipment and provide a detailed written proposal covering equipment model numbers, SEER2/AFUE ratings, installation scope, warranty, and total cost.
At your Chester property, our team removes the old system, installs the new equipment on proper mounting and supports, connects refrigerant lines with nitrogen-purged brazing, wires all components to code, installs the thermostat, modifies ductwork as needed, and cleans up completely.

Complete HVAC installation in Chester ranges from $7,000 to $15,000 for a mid-efficiency furnace and AC combination — typically an 80 percent AFUE furnace paired with a 14.3 to 16 SEER2 condenser. High-efficiency systems with variable-speed blowers and two-stage or variable-speed compressors run $12,000 to $22,000 but deliver significantly lower operating costs and qualify for federal tax credits. Heat pump systems fall between $5,000 and $18,000 depending on whether the system is single-stage, variable-speed, or a dual-fuel configuration. Ductwork modifications or new duct runs add $1,000 to $5,000. KIC Refrigeration provides detailed written proposals for Chester homeowners with every cost itemized and no hidden fees.
A properly installed and maintained HVAC system in Chester typically lasts 15 to 20 years for the gas furnace and 12 to 18 years for the air conditioner or heat pump outdoor unit. Variable-speed equipment tends to last on the higher end of these ranges because it runs at reduced capacity most of the time, causing less thermal and mechanical stress on components. The three biggest factors in equipment lifespan are installation quality, annual professional maintenance, and regular filter changes every 1 to 3 months. KIC Refrigeration offers maintenance plans for Chester homeowners that include seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and repair discounts to help you get the maximum life from your investment.
A standard furnace and AC replacement in Chester takes 1 to 2 days when existing ductwork, gas piping, and electrical service are adequate and the new equipment fits in the same location. A complete system replacement that includes ductwork modifications, new trunk lines, equipment relocation from basement to attic or vice versa, electrical panel upgrades, or zoning system installation may take 3 to 5 days. Multi-zone mini-split installations with 3 to 5 indoor heads typically take 2 to 3 days. KIC Refrigeration provides a clear timeline in every proposal, coordinates scheduling around your Chester home availability, and keeps you informed on progress every step of the way.

We provide information on financing programs that can spread the cost over 36 to 120 months with approved credit, making a $12,000 system as manageable as $100 to $200 per month.
