Summary: Always consider the factors involved, when planning to purchase a central air conditioning system. As the purchase and installation cannot be handled on your own, it is always recommended to consult a professional and knowledgeable contractor of air conditioners.
Firstly, it is important to know whether your house is prepared to handle an air conditioner. Installation of the system is only recommended if it’s a new house or possesses a forced air-heating system previously, on which the air conditioning system can rely on. It is not suggested that you install an air conditioning system if you are planning to get ductwork done, as refitting of the ducts can usually be very costly.
Complete installation of an air conditioner with a proper ductwork usually would cost anywhere from $3000 to $6000. As the cost is variable dependent, the best way is to get quotes from different contractors. It is suggested that you get quotes from minimum three sources.
The cost of the energy consumed may go really high as the blower; compressor and fan consume a lot of electricity. The energy consumption is based on two factors: cooling capacity and efficiency.
