Air Conditioning

Air conditioning costs add up twice: once when you buy the system and again every summer on your electric bill. Our AC guides put real numbers on both, so you can compare central air, ductless mini-splits, window and portable units before you ask for a quote.

• Installed prices: what a new air conditioner costs by type and size.
• Sizing: BTU and tonnage for your square footage and climate.
• Running costs: the monthly cost at your own electric rate.
• Repair or replace: SEER2 ratings, the refrigerant change and when a new unit pays off.

Every guide shows the formula and the source, so you can check our air conditioning costs against the quotes you get.
