Quick Answer — Buying HVAC Online

Buying HVAC equipment online from Furnace Direct costs 30–50% less than a full-service contractor quote for the same brand-name units. A complete 3-ton central AC ships for $2,800–$5,500 (equipment) vs $6,000–$15,000 installed through a contractor. Equipment carries full manufacturer warranty (10-Year Parts on Goodman, Day & Night, Whirlpool). Installation is handled by a licensed HVAC contractor of your choice, typically $1,500–$3,500 labor. Free shipping to all 50 states on in-stock units.

Why Buy HVAC Equipment Online from Furnace Direct?

Furnace Direct is a factory-direct HVAC equipment retailer based in Minneapolis, MN with distribution in Southwest Florida and North Carolina. We sell the same brand-name equipment that contractors install — Goodman, Day & Night, Whirlpool HVAC, Aprilaire, Generac — at significantly lower prices because we cut out the middleman.

When you buy from a traditional HVAC contractor, you're paying for their overhead, markup, and sales commission on top of the equipment cost. With Furnace Direct, you buy the equipment at near-wholesale pricing and either install it yourself or hire a local licensed installer.

Where can I buy an air conditioner online without a contractor?

How much does HVAC equipment cost from Furnace Direct?
Prices range from around $775 for an evaporator coil to $7,000+ for a complete 5-ton two-stage AC system with air handler. Most standalone condensers run $1,800–$4,200. Gas furnaces range $1,200–$4,500. Because we sell factory-direct without contractor markup, our prices are typically 30–50% below what a contractor would charge for the same equipment.
Does Furnace Direct offer installation?
Yes. Furnace Direct ships equipment nationwide and can coordinate installation with licensed, insured HVAC contractors in many areas. We also sell to customers who prefer to hire their own installer — we'll ship the equipment and you handle the install.
What is factory-direct HVAC pricing?
Factory-direct means we purchase equipment directly from manufacturers like Goodman/Daikin, Rheem (Whirlpool HVAC), and Carrier/ICP (Day & Night) and sell it directly to you — cutting out distributor and contractor markup layers. This is why our prices are significantly lower than getting a quote from a local HVAC company.
