Thinking about a Rheem AC but unsure what it really costs?
If your current AC is on its last leg, you’re probably asking: “How much will it cost to install a new Rheem air conditioner in my home?” You’re not alone.
As a Comfort Guide serving the Steubenville area for over 20 years, I get this question every week. The truth is, the cost can vary—but it doesn’t have to be a mystery.
A fully installed Rheem air conditioner typically costs between $6,460 to $14,970, depending on your home size, system efficiency, and how complex the installation is.
One recent job in Richmond: a 3-ton Rheem Achiever Plus with a new thermostat and line set came out to $7,200.
What Makes Rheem AC Installation More Expensive?
Higher SEER2 ratings
Two-stage or variable-speed compressors
Complicated install conditions
Smart thermostat or zoning upgrades
What Can Make It Less Expensive?
Smaller homes with 1.5–2 ton systems
Straightforward system swaps
Standard efficiency models like Rheem Classic

Are There Any Surprise Fees?

Is a Rheem AC Worth the Money?
Yes. Reliable, efficient, and backed by a 10-year parts and compressor warranty (with registration).
