How Much Should an Air Conditioning System Cost? 

The time has come when you have to get a new air conditioner. Nobody hopes for this day, and nobody looks forward to budgeting for it, but alas, ‘tis part of Fort Lauderdale homeownership. So where on earth should you begin? 

First, understand that the cost of a new AC fluctuates based on multiple factors. The first is your living situation and the people living in your home. Are there health problems that will call for a specific type of air cleaning system? Do the residents in the home have any problems with the heat or cold, or a condition that would that would result in the home needing to stay at a particular temperature or humidity level? What activities take place within the house? All of these things will help choose which air conditioning system is ideal for your. 

The second variable to assess is your actual home. How many windows do you have and where do they face? What level of insulation is installed in the home and what level of efficiency is the ductwork? Does the house require (or do you prefer) electric, solar-power, gas, etc? At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we will pay you a visit and analyze your home to provide the systems available depending on your home’s construction and unique traits. 

The additional factor to take into consideration is which business to choose. Though one business may have the equipment you want at a cost you like, make sure you find out if they are licensed, bonded, and confirm they are insured in the event that something should happen at your residence. If a tech were to become injured and the contractor was not insured, it’s probable you would be held responsible. At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, not only are we licensed, bonded, and insured, but all of our employees go through a detailed background check, drug test, and are qualified to work on all leading brands of A/C systems. We also have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so you can be confident in the work we provide. 

So, you’ve considered all this but let’s answer the real question. What is this going to set you back?
