Installing Central Air conditioning in an older home where there was no central ac before can range from $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 if the house has existing air ducting installed for a furnace.

If the house has existing air ducting then the central ac should be able to be installed within a day or two by the heating and air company.

If they have to install new air ducting for the new central air conditioning then it could take up to a week to complete the installation depending on how complicated the job is to install the air duct and the cost could be as high as $8,000.00 to $10,000.00 for central air conditioning to be installed in the older home.
