The average pipeline installation project takes about two to three days (approximately 8-10 hours per day), so you could expect to pay approximately 30 hours of labor. Taxes, permit fees and other costs are likely to add up to the total. On average, pipeline projects can take between one and four days to complete. The easiest and most hassle-free pipeline projects are fairly simple jobs and can only take up to one day.
However, there are many factors that can change that schedule. If you need to replace ductwork or install a complete air conditioning system, the process will take longer than a simple replacement would take. This longer period of time is because the technician may need to replace the ductwork or rewire the thermostat. The technician may also have other problems when performing a full installation of the system, making it more difficult to reduce the time for this situation.
Typically, the full installation of an HVAC system will take three to five days to complete. If the job involves replacing all of the major components of your HVAC system, a larger home will require a larger installation. If you need a simple system replacement, the time needed will be shorter than if the installation requires duct replacement or complete replacement of the system.
