How Much Should an Air Conditioning System Cost?
The time has come when you have to replace your air conditioning system. Nobody looks forward to this day, and nobody looks forward to budgeting for it, but alas, ‘tis part of Fort Lauderdale homeownership. So where do you begin?
First, realize that the price of a new air conditioning system fluctuates based on multiple factors. The first is your living situation and the other residents in your home. Are there health ailments that will warrant a particular type of air filtration system? Do the residents in the home have any problems with the cold or heat, or a disorder that would demand that the home stay at a pre-determined temperature or humidity level? What hobbies take place in the house? The above details will help decide which air conditioning system is ideal for your family.
The second factor to assess is the home itself. What is the number of windows within your home and where do they face? How much insulation is installed in the home and what level of efficiency is the ductwork? Does the residence require (or do you want) solar-power, gas, electric, etc? At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we will go out and analyze your house to go over the systems available depending on your home’s structure and unique traits.
The additional factor to think about is which company to call. Though one business may have the air conditioner you want at a cost you like, make sure you 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 get injured and the company was not insured, it’s probable you would be liable. At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we are not only bonded, licensed, and insured, but all of our team go through a thorough background check, drug test, and are skilled to work on all top brands of A/C systems. We also provide a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so you can be assured in the work we do.
Okay, okay, you’ve thought about all this but let’s get to the real question. How much is this going to set you back?
