Central Air Conditioner Prices

Welcome to our site! In these days of global warming, more and more households are coming into the catchment areas where air conditioning may be desired. Central air conditioner prices vary, as you can well imagine, but the main factors in the price are local conditions and the equipment that you already have installed in your house.

Central Air Conditioner Prices

It is a simple fact that the planet is heating up so quickly and weather patterns have altered so much, that areas that would have put up with a month or two of sticky weather every other year, now have to think about getting air conditioning.

The installation of air conditioning systems is a growing trend in the temperate zones and also in other parts of the world as affluence increases

Factors that affect central air conditioner prices are the make of the system; the size of the property that the air conditioner has to take care of; how hard it has to be able to work to produce the required temperature and what you already have in your home.

Depending on the above factors, central air conditioning prices can half from the norm or double. This obviously gives a lot of scope and ultimately you will have to do a bit or research, which is what I assume you are doing right now.

As I said above, central air conditioner prices depend on four main factors, so you have a lot of variables to juggle with if you want to guess a price. Another variable is where you live or what country you live in. It is obviously more expensive to keep a property at 21?c in the US Virgin Islands than it is in North Carolina, for example. You may even need a more powerful air conditioning system too.

The make of the system will affect the air conditioner prices as will the cost of labour in your area. If you live outside a fairly large town or city, local installers may be more expensive. If you want to have an air conditioning system that can also heat your house, this is another factor in central air conditioning prices.

A standard central air conditioning system can service up to seven locations in up to two zones. What this means is that the system can cool seven rooms in up to two locations. That is, say, six rooms in the house and a garden shed, for want of a better example. Or two small bungalows could share a system or a small guest house.

The systems that we are talking about deliver their cool air through ducting and this is one of the most important factors in central air conditioning prices. If you already have the ducting in place for a central heating system, you can attach your air conditioner in line with that, thereby saving you roughly half the cost.

Depending on the make, model and your location, a central air conditioner as described above would cost you about $7,000 - $8,000 US. However, if you have ducting in place already, you could estimate $3,500 - $4,000.

The best way to lower central air conditioner prices is to have the ducting built into a new home, but sometimes we do not have the choice.
