How Much Should an Air Conditioning System Cost?

July 18, 2016

The dreaded day has arrived and now you have to replace your A/C system. Nobody hopes for this day, and nobody looks forward to budgeting for it, but sadly is comes with Fort Myers homeownership. So where do you begin?

First, realize that the investment of a new air conditioning system fluctuates based on many factors. The first is your lifestyle and the other residents in your home. Are there health problems that will warrant a special type of air filtration system? Do the residents in the home have any problems with the heat or cold, or an affliction (such as Multiple Sclerosis) that would that would result in the home needing to stay at a specific temperature or humidity level? What recreation takes place within the home? All of these things will help determine which A/C system is best for your.

The second factor to consider is your home itself. How many windows do you have and which direction do they face? How much insulation is currently in the house and how efficient is the ductwork? Does the house require (or do you want) electric, solar-power, gas, etc? At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we will pay you a visit and evaluate your current set-up to provide the choices available based on your home’s design and unique traits.

The additional factor to consider is which company to choose. Though one contractor may have the air conditioner you want at a price point you like, take caution and find out if they are bonded, licensed, and confirm they are insured in the event that something happens at your residence. If a technician were to get hurt and the contractor was not insured, it’s possible you would be held accountable. At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we are not only bonded, licensed, and insured, but all of our workers go through a complete background check, drug test, and are qualified to work on all top brands of air conditioners. We also offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so you can be confident 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 cost?
