Air Conditioning Installation Costs

COST OF HAVING AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT INSTALLED

Serving Portland OR - Vancouver WA - Longview WA

There are a variety of different factors that go into the cost of having an air conditioning unit installed. This includes the size of your home and the type of system you prefer. For a more accurate price, contact us for your free personalized estimate. There are several different types of air conditioners, including:

• Window Units: Homeowners can install these at a fraction of the cost of a full­-home install. Installation is simple, but they only add cold­ air relief to one room in your house, and they do not add equity value.
• Split Systems: These are either mini­split (ductless units) or central systems that are installed as outside and inside units
• Central Systems: Uses a duct system that’s usually combined with the heating system to cool off an entire home.
• Portable Units: Come as a split, hose or evaporative system designed to conveniently travel with you to different rooms in your home.

COSTS TO INSTALL A CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER

Air conditioning costs are also affected by:

• Whether or not you already have a central heating system in place
• Whether or not you need ductwork
• Your home’s insulation level
• The brand and quality level of the AC unit you choose
• The size of your home and the number of rooms

One of our professional contractors will perform a calculation on your home’s livable square footage to determine the appropriate air conditioner for your home. A too­-large unit will cycle on and off all the time resulting in energy loss, and a unit that’s too small will run constantly and cool your home inefficiently.

Installing a split or central air conditioning unit is not a DIY project.  ­­It involves handling refrigerant, and only professionals licensed by the Environmental Protection Agency can handle it because it’s considered a harmful chemical.
