A new AC condenser typically costs $2,000 to $4,500 installed, depending on size (tonnage), efficiency (SEER2), brand, and whether the matching evaporator coil also needs replacement. Higher-efficiency variable-speed condensers run $3,500 to $6,500 installed. Condensers are usually replaced as a matched system with the indoor coil for best performance and warranty coverage.
