AC system installation in Dallas Fort Worth

Lantern prices a complete system install as the actual wholesale cost of the equipment plus a labor fee with a posted starting price. That is deliberately different from a single bundled number, because a bundled number hides how much of it is equipment markup. You see the equipment cost and you see the labor.

What this covers

  • A complete 16 SEER2 system
  • Equipment billed at actual wholesale cost
  • A labor fee that does not rise with the equipment price

FAQ

Common AC system installation questions.

A single number makes it impossible to tell what the equipment cost and what the labor cost. Splitting them means the labor fee is posted and visible, and any change in equipment price is a change you can see rather than one absorbed into a margin.
Sizing comes from a load calculation on your specific home, not from square footage alone. A system that is too large short cycles and leaves humidity behind. That calculation happens before any equipment is quoted.
