How Much Should an Air Conditioning System Cost

The time has come when you have to purchase a new A/C system. Nobody hopes for this day, and nobody looks forward to budgeting for it, but sadly is comes with Buffalo homeownership. So where to begin?

First, realize that the investment of a new A/C system fluctuates based on several factors. The first is your routine and the other people residing in your home. Are there health issues that will warrant a special type of air filtration equipment? Do the people living in the home have a sensitivity to the cold or heat, or a disorder (i.e., Multiple Sclerosis) that would that would result in the home needing to stay at a set temperature or humidity level? What hobbies take place inside the residence? These factors will help determine which air conditioning system is ideal for your home.

The next variable to examine is your home itself. What is the number of windows within your home and which direction do they face? What level of insulation is presently in the residence and what level of efficiency is the ductwork? Does the house require (or do you desire) gas, electric, solar-power, etc? At Sunbeam Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we will go out and analyze your current set-up to help determine the systems available based on your home’s design and unique traits.

The additional factor to think about is which company to use. Though one company may have the equipment you want at a price point you like, take caution and find out if they are licensed, bonded, and confirm they are insured in the event that something should occur at your house. If a tech were to become injured and the contractor was not insured, it’s likely you would be held responsible. At Sunbeam Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, not only are we licensed, bonded, and insured, but all of our employees go through a thorough background check, drug test, and are skilled to work on all top brands of A/C systems. We also have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so you can be assured in the work we do.
