Get Cool And Get A Quote

Right now, with cold winds and frost on the windows, most people are not thinking about cooling their homes. In fact, they are thinking of just the opposite. And although the season right now is the one for staying warm and cozy, right now may just be the perfect time to think about an air conditioning install. Even though the temperatures outside are low, the price for an air conditioning install may also be low too. Getting a quote from a local company in the off season for central may be the best time to get a great deal.

Most people have no idea how much it can cost to get central air installed in their home. They only know that it may just be a bit out of their price range, or not in the budget for this year. But, when it comes down to it, when the temperatures go up, everyone thinks they would pay any price to escape the heat that the summertime can bring. So, just how much will an air conditioning install run you these days?

Depending on the square footage of your home and the models that you choose to go, it will determine part of the cost in an air conditioning install. The other part that will determine the cost of getting central air in your home will depend on the amount of labor it will take to install all the duct work.

Many people do not realize that if their home has no existing duct work in the walls, then you simply cannot have air flow happen without tearing into the walls and installing some. This kind of tear out and installation may make a huge difference in the total cost of your final installation bill. However, on the flip side, if your home already has duct work in place, that works for the home's air flow, and then the cost will be significantly less.

It is important to get a quote from a licensed professional for an air conditioning install. It is only after a professional makes a thorough assessment of your specific home that you will really know what kind of cost you are in for. But, to be sure there are some general estimates that you can go with to know if you are ready to take the plunge into cooler temperatures.

Really, the breakdown for costs can vary greatly from home to home and place to place. The idea that the installation can vary so greatly can scare many potential customers away. But, there is a simpler way to think about it. If your existing home has the duct work in place for a furnace, you are probably only looking at about $1100 to $1900 for central air installed. However, say you are building a home, or have a home that has no duct work whatsoever, the costs will be significantly more. And, they will range anywhere from $4000 to well over $6000. The reason for this is that there is much labor involved in tearing out existing walls, installing the duct work, and also getting new wall board over the new ducts that have been put in place.
