Cost Guide for Air Conditioner

If you are getting ready to purchase a new air conditioner – or even if you’re seriously considering it – there are several factors that will determine your cooling system cost. That’s why it’s so important to take your time and do your research before you make your final decision. The professionals with Northern's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning® can help you make the right choice by performing a detailed analysis of your cooling needs and recommending the size and type of unit that will be right for you.

A Lot to Think About

Buying an air conditioner can be overwhelming for some people because so much goes into choosing the right type of unit. You’re preparing to make a substantial investment, of course, and the decision you make now will have ramifications for several years. These are just some of the things that you need to keep in mind that will have a significant effect on your cooling system costs.

  • Rebates – If you choose wisely, you may be able to take advantage of state or federal rebates that could potentially slash your costs. Your local utility may also provide incentives, which, in addition to any government rebates that may be available, could take as much as 30 percent off the total price.
  • Labor – Many people underestimate labor when trying to determine the cooling system cost. However, it’s one of the biggest factors. Even more important, however, is choosing the most qualified technicians available. If your system isn’t installed correctly, you could be in for years of hassle and expensive repairs.
  • Energy Efficiency – The more energy efficient a system, the less it will cost to run each month. In addition, units that are highly efficient could qualify for the aforementioned rebates. As long as your system is installed correctly and is the right size for your home, you could see substantial savings. It’s possible that your new system could cost as much as 40-45 percent less to run than your present one.
