Air Conditioning

Whether you live in an area that stays warm year-round or in a hot place in the summer, air conditioning helps you stay cool. Air conditioning can mean many things. Traditionally, this is a method of removing heat from the air by passing it over refrigerated coils and condensing it to remove excess moisture. But there are many ways of cooling a home, including swamp coolers and geothermal systems, which are sometimes referred to as air conditioning.

With all these methods for cooling the air, there is a wide range of costs. The national average range for installing a cooling appliance in your home is between $2,000 and $9,000, with most homeowners spending around $7,000 for a 3.5-ton 16 SEER central air conditioning unit in a home with existing ducts. This project’s low cost is $500 for a window unit professionally installed. The high cost is $17,000 for a 5-ton 18 SEER central AC unit with new ducts and two zones.
