How Much Should an Air Conditioning System Cost? 

The time has come when you have to purchase a new air conditioning system. Nobody enjoys this day, and nobody wants to worry about budgeting for it, but sadly is comes with Columbus homeownership. So where to begin

First, know that the price of a new A/C system differs based on several factors. The first is your lifestyle and the other residents in your home. Are there health ailments that will involve a specific type of air filtration equipment? Do the residents in the home have a sensitivity to the cold or heat, or an affliction that would demand that the home stay at a specific temperature or humidity level? What hobbies take place inside the residence? These factors will help decide which air conditioning system is right for your home. 

The second variable to examine is the home itself. What is the number of windows within your home and which direction do they face? What level of insulation is installed in the home and what level of efficiency is the ductwork? Does the house require (or do you desire) gas, electric, solar-power, etc? At Stevenson Service Experts, we will come out and assess your home to provide the systems available considering your home’s structure and unique characteristics. 

The other factor to consider is which company to call. Though one business may have the air conditioner you want at a cost you like, take caution and find out if they are bonded, licensed, and confirm they are insured just in case something occurs at your home. If a technician were to become injured and the company was not insured, it’s likely you would be held responsible. At Stevenson Service Experts, not only are we licensed, bonded, and insured, but all of our team go through an extensive background check, drug test, and are skilled to work on all leading brands of air conditioning systems. We also offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so you can be comfortable in the work we do. 

Alright, alright, you’ve considered all this but let’s ask the real question. How much is this going to set you back? 

While all the details above will go into deciding a final cost, below are a few ballpark numbers.
