Questions
Chiller: what does it cost?
Medians from $1,150 to $2,308 per ton across 5 published bands (48 awards, December 2018 to May 2026); the largest band, type unstated 100 to 299 tons, has a median $1,876 with the middle half of awards between $1,162 and $2,190.
Where do these prices come from?
Public bid tabulations and award notices from US public buyers (municipal utilities, cooperatives, school districts, state agencies), each with its document URL. They are what buyers paid, not list prices or quotes.
Why quartiles and not an average?
Awards vary by spec, voltage and quantity; the p25 to p75 band shows where the middle half of comparable awards landed and keeps one large order from moving the figure.
