New Air Conditioner Installation Services

The national average cost to install new or replace your central air conditioning system is $3,000. Prices can range higher or lower depending on your location and other factors.

Prices are based on:

• Electrical system requirements
• Energy efficiency of the unit
• Existing system replacement/modifications
• Installation variables
• Size required
• Tax credits/rebates

With professional maintenance, your AC system can last 10-15 years. AC maintenance is a win-win because it also keeps your system working more efficiently, which lowers monthly energy bills and improves your IAQ (indoor air quality).

Fifteen years is pretty much the max-out age for an AC or HVAC system. Rather than wait for it to quit at a bad time (It never happens at a “good” time), it’s smart to replace a 15-year-old AC or HVAC unit.

In addition to age, other signs it’s time to replace your older AC system include:

• Air isn’t cooling properly
• Airflow isn’t good
• Have to adjust thermostat too often
• Signs of leaks/moisture around the unit
• Some rooms warmer than others
• Two or more repairs within the last year
• Unusual noises
