HOW MUCH DOES AN AIR CONDITIONER COST TO INSTALL OR REPLACE?

TYPES OF AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS AND COST
The most common type of air conditioner system in Texas is a split-system heating and air conditioning system. They are called split systems because they have parts located inside and outside your home. Split systems have a cool refrigerant to keep the air cool and can have a gas furnace to make heat. They may cost more initially than a portable unit, but over time they are more cost-effective.

The average cost to install central air nationally is $5,750, with $1,700 on the low end and $11,000 on the high end.



WHAT’S INVOLVED IN INSTALLATION
The cost to install after purchasing your AC unit depends on a number of factors. These including the size of your home and how complicated your ductwork is. You need a licensed air-conditioning technician with electrical qualifications to wire the unit into your home. You should not attempt to install central air conditioning on your own since you need a license to handle the refrigerant chemicals involved.



FACTORS AFFECTING INSTALLATION COSTS
Each home is different, making each installation cost different as well. Here are some factors that change the cost of installation:

How complex the installation is: including how much piping is required and the complexity of ductwork
Number of units being installed
Type, size and brand of the units being installed
Any possible upgrades or repairs to the electrical system, if needed

If your system is getting old or has broken down, it may be time to replace or upgrade it. Air-conditioning units on average last 15-20 years. It is usually cheaper to replace air-conditioning units instead of installing a completely new system because they shouldn’t require new electrical work. Newer systems also save money because they are often more efficient than an old one, saving utility costs.
