Essex, in Vermont's Chittenden County, sees the same snowy, sub-freezing winters as the rest of the Champlain Valley, so heating reliability is the top priority for most homeowners here. Summers are short and comfortable, which means ductless heat pumps and modest central air systems are increasingly popular for the handful of warm, humid weeks each year.
Essex homeowners typically pay $4,000-$8,000 to add central air or a ductless system, since most existing homes were built for heating only. Get a closer estimate with our HVAC Installation Cost Calculator.
