How Much Should an Air Conditioning System Cost?
The dreaded day has arrived and now you have to get a new A/C system. Nobody hopes for this day, and nobody looks forward to budgeting for it, but unfortunately, it is part of Concord homeownership. So where to begin?
First, realize that the investment of a new air conditioner varies based on many factors. The first is your living situation and the people living in your home. Are there health conditions that will call for a special type of air cleaning system? Do the residents in the home have a sensitivity to the heat or cold, or a condition (such as Multiple Sclerosis) that would demand that the home stay at a specific temperature or humidity level? What recreation takes place inside the house? All of these things will help determine which air conditioning system is ideal for your.
The next thing to examine is the actual home. Do you have a lot of windows and which way do they face? How much insulation is currently in the home and how efficient is the ductwork? Does the home require (or do you want) solar-power, gas, electric, etc? At Freschi Service Experts, we will go out and analyze your house to help determine the systems available based on your home’s structure and unique features.
The third variable to consider is which business to choose. Though one business may have the equipment you want at a budget you like, be careful and find out if they are licensed, bonded, and confirm they are insured in the event that something occurs at your residence. If a tech were to get injured and the contractor was not insured, it’s likely you would be held accountable. At Freschi Service Experts, not only are we licensed, bonded, and insured, but all of our employees go through a complete background check, drug test, and are qualified to work on all leading brands of air conditioning systems. We also have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so you can be confident in the work we do.
Okay, okay, you’ve considered all this but let’s answer the real question. How much is this going to set you back?
While all the variables above will go into determining a final budget, below are a few ballpark numbers.
