Plumbing and HVAC Costs in Plano

A failed water heater or a July air conditioning breakdown forces a quick decision, and most homeowners want a number before they'll call anyone. So we published ours. 

The ranges below cover the work our technicians handle most weeks throughout Plano and the rest of the North DFW Metro, priced for standard scope on a typical residential system. You'll have a written estimate before a tool comes out of the truck, and nothing gets added to that scope without your approval. If what a technician finds doesn't match the quote, you hear about it before the work continues. We take emergency calls 24/7, in English or Spanish.

Price Ranges for Common Jobs

The following ranges assume standard scope and reasonable access to the equipment. Treat them as a budgeting range rather than a quote. Note that a job landing at the top of a range did so for a reason a technician can point to, whether that's attic access, a code upgrade, or a second failure sitting next to the first.

Plumbing Price Ranges
 

Toilet Replacement

Old toilet out; new one set on a fresh wax ring, then check the supply line and angle stop (the shutoff valve behind the toilet). If the closet flange underneath has rusted through, that repair is quoted separately rather than folded into this number.

$600 – $900 installed

Garbage Disposal Installation

Old unit unmounted and hauled off; new garbage disposal mounted to the sink flange, then run water to confirm the drain and dishwasher connections stay dry.

$400 – $600 installed

Hose Bib Replacement

Outdoor spigot work after a steady drip, a handle that won't seat, or a split from a hard freeze. A freeze rarely affects only one bib, so ask the technician to check the others before he packs up.

$370 – $500 per bib

Water Line Repair

Finding the failed section of supply line, cutting it out, and tying in new pipe so pressure comes back and the leak stops feeding your bill.

$800 – $1,200 per repair

Gas Line Testing

A pressure test that isolates your gas piping and holds it under pressure to prove there's no leak. Title companies and city inspectors ask for this before a closing or a new appliance hookup.

$500 – $700 per test

Leak Detection

Pinpointing a leak you can hear, smell, or see on your water bill but can't locate. Listening equipment and pressure isolation mark the spot before anyone opens drywall or concrete.

$300 – $700 per inspection

Slab Leak Repair

Almost every house in this part of the state sits on a slab with water lines running underneath, and clay soil movement is hard on those lines. Once the slab leak is located, you'll get two options priced side by side: tunneling under the slab for a spot repair, or re-routing the line overhead through the wall and attic.

$2,200 – $6,500 per leak

Whole-Home Repipe

Replacing the original supply lines throughout the house with PEX, which handles hard water and soil movement better than the copper it replaces. Price tracks the number of bathrooms, the layout of the runs, and how much drywall must be removed and replaced.

$6,500 – $14,000 per home

Drain and Sewer Price Ranges
 

Drain Stoppages

Cabling a kitchen, bath, or laundry line until flow comes back. Silver and Gold members also get a camera run down the line during their inspection, which helps identify the cause of a repeat clog rather than clearing it again.

$300 – $600 per cleared line

Hydro Jetting

High-pressure water that scours grease, scale, and root hair off the pipe wall rather than punching a channel through the blockage. A camera inspection comes first because brittle cast iron and old clay pipe can fail under hydro jetting pressure.

$450 – $1,100 per line

Sewer Line Camera Inspection

A camera run through the main line to find the break, sag, or root intrusion and mark its depth and its distance from the cleanout (the capped access point outside your house). The technician runs the camera while watching the screen, then locates the spot before quoting any repairs.

$350 – $650 per inspection

Sewer Line Repair

Excavating down to one failed section, cutting out the damaged pipe, and tying in new line. Root intrusion at a joint lands in this range, as does a cracked section under a flower bed.

$1,800 – $4,500 per repair

Sewer Line Replacement

Replacing a main line that's past repair, either by open trench or by pulling new pipe along the existing path. Cost follows the length of the run, the depth, and whether the line crosses a driveway or mature tree roots.

$5,000 – $12,000 per line

Sump Pump Replacement

Failed sump pump swapped out, float switch and check valve inspected, then a test of the discharge line for flow. Gold members get a sump pump inspection each year as part of the plan.

$900 – $1,800 installed

Water Heater Price Ranges
 

Water Heater Replacement

Old water heater tank drained and hauled off, new tank set, then venting, the drain pan, and the expansion tank (a small tank that absorbs pressure spikes) brought to current code.

$2,000 – $3,600 installed

Water Heater Repair

Repairs such as replacing a thermocouple (the safety sensor that shuts off gas when the pilot goes out), a gas control valve, a heating element, or a thermostat on a unit worth keeping. If the tank itself has started weeping at a seam, you'll hear that instead of getting sold a part that won't fix it.

$250 – $700 per repair

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Converting from a tank to a tankless unit usually means upsizing the gas line and running new stainless-steel venting. The unit, gas work, and vent work are quoted together up front, so the number doesn't change halfway through the day.

$5,500 – $9,500 installed

Air Conditioning Price Ranges
 

Air Conditioning Repair

Diagnosing and fixing the AC failure: capacitor, contactor, blower motor, a clogged condensate drain, or a refrigerant leak. Most calls land in the lower half of this range, and you'll see the failed part and what it did to the rest of the system before anything gets written up.

$250 – $900 per repair

Air Conditioning Replacement

Installing a new condenser, evaporator coil, and line set (the insulated copper tubing between the outdoor and indoor units) on a home with usable ductwork. You'll get sizing options walked through before any equipment recommendation, since the tonnage on the unit that failed isn't always the right target.

$7,200 – $12,500 installed

Full System Replacement

Replacing the outdoor unit, indoor coil, and furnace in a single visit. This is the option worth pricing when the cooling and the heating share the same ductwork and each one is over 12 years old.

$12,000 – $18,000 installed

Mini-Split Installation

A ductless indoor head and matched outdoor mini-split unit for a garage, an addition, or the room that never cools right. Includes the line set, condensate routing, and a dedicated electrical circuit.

$3,200 – $6,000 per zone

Seasonal Tune-Up

A check on refrigerant charge, airflow across the coil, electrical connections, drain condition, and safety controls. Silver and Gold plans include a spring visit and a fall visit.

$120 – $200 per system

Heating Price Ranges
 

Heating Repair

Igniter, flame sensor, gas valve, blower motor, or control board repairs on a furnace that won't light or can't keep up during a cold front.

$250 – $900 per repair

Furnace Replacement

Old furnace removed, new heater installed with a fresh flue connection and a correctly sized filter cabinet. High-efficiency models sit at the top of this range and above it, because they need new venting and a condensate drain the old furnace didn’t have.

$4,800 – $8,500 installed

Thermostat Installation

Mounting a programmable or smart thermostat, wiring it to your equipment, and walking through the schedule with you before we leave. Houses wired before 2000 often need a C-wire pulled (the constant power wire smart thermostats need), which pushes the price toward the top.

$300 – $600 installed

A range gives you a budget. Where your job lands within one comes down to a handful of conditions a technician must see in person.

What Affects Your Price

A water heater in a hallway closet and the same water heater in a third-floor attic are two different labor bills, which is why access drives more variation than equipment choice does.

Four other factors move a quote up or down:

• Equipment choice – A mid-tier tank and a high-efficiency tankless unit are two different projects, so you get the options priced rather than one recommendation.
• Code requirements – An older installation may be missing an expansion tank, a drain pan, or proper venting, and bringing it up to code adds parts and labor.
• Condition of the surrounding parts – A corroded angle stop, a rusted closet flange, or a seized gas valve turns a one-part repair into two.
• What shows up once the slab is open – If the scope changes, work stops until you've approved the new number.

If another company has already quoted you on one of these jobs, our $49 second opinion puts a second set of eyes on it, and the fee comes off the invoice if we do the work.
