How much will it cost us to replace HVAC system?

My fiance and I are currently in the process of bidding on our first house. It is a HUD property in amazingly good condition, except for the fact that the furnace and A/C unit are missing. The duct work and wiring are all there, but the units themselves will have to be replaced. There is a built-in $2200 escrow allotment for the replacement of the HVAC, but I need to know how much more, if any, we'll need to pay out-of-pocket. Can anybody out there give me a standard ball-park estimate of the price of each unit? It can be wholesale, as we have a contractor friend who will do the installation for us if we provide the units.

Some background info on the house specs: 1900 sq. feet, no basement, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, about 10-12 windows, north-facing. How big/ what kind of a furnace and A/C unit will we need to adequately heat and cool this house? Sorry for the lengthy question, but this is the first house we've ever bought and we don't even know where to begin with the HVAC thing.

    4-5 ton 13 sear rating for 2000 sq ft.

    You are looking at 3000.00 - 4000.00 installed.

    Get estimates. The labor is the killer, so make sure your estimates cover all labor cost before the work begins.

    You will need a 4-ton system. If you need furnace and condensor, then you are talking about $4500. If your friend can install it. If not than they will charge another $1500-2000 to install. Good luck and hope this helps.

    If the duct work and wiring are there, you are still looking at a minimum of $4000+ for a heat pump system and I would guess more in the neighborhood of $6000.
