| | | Central air conditioning not only lowers temperatures throughout a house, it dehumidifies and filters the air, leaving it cleaner and more comfortable to breathe. | | |
| Typical costs: | - Adding central air conditioning to an existing forced-air heating system in a 2,000-square-foot house averages $3,500 -$4,000, and can be done by two technicians in 2-3 days, with little or no change to the existing ducting; if ducts must be added, the work time doubles, as does the cost to $7,000 -$8,000 or more, according to ThisOldHouse.com.
- Estimates for a older, smaller house of 800-1,000 square feet with no existing duct work run $2,100 -$6,000, or as high as $10,000 or more, depending on the type and quality of equipment installed, the amount of space available for installing ducts and vents, and the local economy.
What should be included: | - The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute provides a brief explanation of how central air conditioning works. The California Consumer Energy Center offers detailed information on central air systems and specifics on ducts and vents.
- Most central air conditioning systems are a split system, with the heaviest, noisiest, heat-generating components installed outdoors, and an evaporator coil indoors. The evaporator is connected to a blower (often part of a furnace) which distributes the chilled air through the home's vents. ThisOldHouse.com gives an overview. The other option is called a packaged central air conditioner; the condenser, compressor and evaporator are all in a cabinet which is installed on the roof or next to the house.
- HVAC is a common industry term; it stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. A HVAC contractor does what's called a load calculation, taking into account the size and shape of the house, the amount of insulation, the local climate, the house's exposure to the sun, the occupants' habits and temperature choices, and other factors to determine what size unit is needed.
- If an air conditioner is too large for the space, the unit will cycle off and on frequently, creating uncomfortable temperature swings and reducing its efficiency; too small and it won't be able cool the home adequately on hot days and could break down more often.
- Residential central air conditioning is rated by a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio or SEER system. Since 2006, units sold in the US must have a SEER of at least 13.
- Air conditioning systems marked with an Energy Star meet strict US government energy-efficiency guidelines.
Additional costs: | - The most common mistake is buying a bigger system than needed; it costs more and doesn't do the job as well as one that's the right size.
Discounts: | - Some older homes can't accommodate ducts, or the work is extremely difficult and expensive; in those cases, consider ductless air conditioning, also called mini-split systems.

$13,000 for two units?
|
| Posted by: neighbor in Campbell, CA. | Purchased: July, 2007 |
| That wasn't necessarily too much. How much square footage are you cooling? Also, did the house (or building) already have the ducts, fans, and vents for central heating? If not, the price can go way up. Did you have enough amperage or available circuits on your electrical panel, or did you have to upgrade that? (I just did a lot of electrical upgrades for $4,000). I definitely know people out here who have gotten A/C on a 1,350 square foot home for $3,000-$5,000, if they already had the ductwork and the needed electrical panel/wiring. |

| We live in a victorian built in 1892 (i dont mean the restored ones on Carroll Ave.) I desperately want to put in central air. We bake in the summer and freeze in the winter. This is my 8 month old daughters first experience with summer, it is VERY hard to keep her cool and happy during the hot nights. I hope to find someone reasonably priced and someone to trust definitely... or if someone doing a home improvement show wants to do it for free or partially.. to work on our home? Hey its worth a try you never know who reads these. |

AC for Victorian
|
| Posted by: KC in Arlington, VA. | Purchased: 2008 |
| If you are having trouble both cooling in summer and heating it in winter, you might be better off investing in better insulation before you consider central air. Old homes are rarely insulated according to current standards, which means that any hot or cold air you produce in the house immediately escapes outside. Contract an energy auditor or an insulation contractor for help. You may be able to get away without central air with a more tightly sealed house. |

Price Difference
|
| Posted by: SoCalAc in Murrieta, CA. | Purchased: August, 2008 |
| Contractor: Brookside Air Conditioning | BTUs: |
| I was quoted $5465.00 for the installation of a new Amana air conditioner and furnace. The unit is an Amana ASX 14 seer / 5 ton system. Upon installing, the contractor stated that the 5 ton was not needed and he recommended the same model in a 4 ton system. He then said the new price would be $5300.00 for a difference of only $165.00. I am certain the estimator quoted me a much bigger difference in price originally. She now says that there is very little difference in the price from a 5 ton to a 4 ton, but that the price variance from a higher seer is much greater. Isn't there more of a price difference between the 4 ton and 5 ton units? |

replacing a Carrier system
|
| Posted by: Carol in Anderson, SC. | Purchased: 2009 |
| It looks like we're going to have to replace the ac and furnace we had put in the house when we bought it 21 years ago as the leads to compressor have corroded and keep falling off. We've been quoted a price of at least $5700 on a Lennox system, but we don't have anything in writing and we keep hearing different estimates for different systems from the same contractor. Our house is only 1100 square feet, 2 bd, 1bth, and only worth, tops, about ~$80,000. We also plan to (finally) move in about 3-4 years. I don't want to spend that much money on a system for such a small house. Am I being unrealistic? |

| Contractor: Bel-Air Cooling and Heating | BTUs: |
I am a TRANE certified contractor and the price of most the installs I see here are pretty much on par with what we charge here as long as they are done correctly and with good equipment. 3500 -5000 for an add on install? This is as much, or more, as we pay for equipment with materials and labor/overhead. beware of lowball bidders. Make sure they are carrying current workers comp and are licensed. If they are removing asbestos make sure a certified company is doing this and dont take any shortcuts. A recent survey shows that 90% of all installs are done wrong and are costing the customer in efficiency. I pay many $$$ to keep my install team up to date with training and the best materials to keep in the 10% that do it right.
And valentino, "Contractors just scalp you for such easy work"??? Keep in mind Package units are much easier typically than split systems and our price reflects it. What if you fall off the roof or have a gas leak or electrical problem, who is liable? What if the there is problems with the unit? No one will warranty it. We carry all the liablilty that you dont see and unfortunately this liability comes at a price.
Hope this helps

Trane Air Conditioner

| I'm about to purchase a Trane 4TTR50481 and Trane 4TEE3C09A. My present unit is a carrier and it is about 10 years old. The house is still ice cold but we are looking to upgrade for energy efficiency. Is this a good price for what I am planning on purchasing? What about the efficiency of these models? |

| I have a 2200 sq foot house in west central Florida. I already have a heat pump, but it is old and needs to be replaced. I want either a trane or a carrier. I need ? 3.5 ton or a 4 ton. I already have the pre-existing duct work. i am looking for a fair price. I dont want to get ripped off, but I do want an energy efficient unit seer 14. |

2 ton Gas/Electric Package Unit
|
| Posted by: Gary Greenwood in Oklahoma City, OK. | Purchased: 2009 |
| All I need is to have the old Ruud Package unit removed. A new 2 ton 14 Seer+ Package unit set down on the same slab. I want it connected back up to the existing electrical & Ducts. I've been quoted $4000 for a 13 Seer POS Goodman. I known the unit itself costs half that much, so I don't think $2000 for installing it is a bargain. I want a unit that will qualify for the energy tax credit. |
