TSIAC Reviews the Average Cost of an Air Conditioner

(Newswire.net — May 23, 2016) Fort Myers, FL — When hot weather starts to approach many of us find we need to improve how we are going to keep ourselves cool. A lot of us begin to think about having an air conditioner replacement to improve how our homes can be cooled down more efficiently. The newer models are now quieter, have more power and are much more energy efficient than older models. These newer models will cost homeowners less over time as they cost less to operate monthly. The question, though, is what is the average cost of an air conditioner replacement up front?

The basics for air conditioner replacement

To begin with the replacement of an older model air conditioner, a homeowner needs to know what size unit they want to replace it with. They will need one with enough power to sufficiently cool down their home, but do not want one that is too big as it will be more expensive and make their home less comfortable. An air conditioning unit is measured in tons according to how much heat they can remove from a structure in an hour. The larger home, the larger unit needed to cool it down. There are other factors to consider as well, for example, a basement will generally be cooler than the rest of the house so homeowners cannot use the square footage of their house alone to determine the size they will need. If there have been no changes or additions to a home, then staying with the same size may be sufficient unless of course the reason for replacing is the old unit was not large enough to cool the home.

A homeowner should not attempt to do an air conditioner replacement as the level of skill is substantial. A professional contractor is necessary as one must be certified to handle refrigerant by the Environmental Protection Agency.

How much will it cost for an air conditioner replacement?

The average cost of an air conditioner replacement is around $5,800 in the state of Florida according to the homeavisor.com report in 2014. This is from an insured air conditioning contractor who is bonded and licensed. Typically homeowners will pay a contractor from $4,000 to $6,000, however; this amount can change if there are utility rebates offered from air conditioning manufacturers.
