Energy Efficient Models<\/h3>

The best way to choose an energy-efficient model is to go in for an ENERGY STAR certified HVAC system<\/b> and air source heat pump.<\/p>

The system must offer the best comfort with the least energy consumption.\u00a0\u00a0Energy-efficient models have thermostats, controllers, and evaporator coils that allow you to enjoy optimum air quality with efficient use of energy.<\/p>

Labor Cost<\/h3>

The central AC system installation price involves labor at around $120+ an hour. It could take up to 18 hours to install a 2-ton AC unit at your home.<\/p>

Size Of The Home<\/h3>

The total area in square feet is an important factor to determine the project cost of installation. The thumb rule is that you need a 1-ton AC unit to cool a 400 ft.\u00b2 area.\u00a0\u00a0The AC system installation in a 2000 ft.\u00b2 home could cost around $2000 to $3900 with your existing forced air furnace heating system.<\/p>

AC Cooling Capacity<\/h3>

Multiply the length with breath to calculate the tentative square feet area of your room.\u00a0<\/p>

Then check the British Thermal Unit or BTU per square foot<\/p>

Get free information on this from your local AC store.<\/p>

The basic guideline is that you need 30 to 40 British Thermal Units per ft.\u00b2 in summer and 50 to 60 BTUs per ft.\u00b2 in winter.<\/p>

Take the help of a professional air-conditioning installation expert to calculate the HVAC replacement cost of your home\u2019s central air conditioning system.<\/p>

AC Size<\/h3>

It\u2019s vital that you choose the right sized air-conditioner.<\/p>

A bigger air-conditioner than required is likely to cycle on and off earlier resulting in wasted energy.<\/p>

The smaller air-conditioner, on the other hand, takes longer to cool the same room resulting in higher energy bills.<\/p>

AC Tonnage<\/h3>

The AC tonnage of your AC system installation is easy to calculate.<\/p>

Use this calculation:<\/p>

Required Tons = Square Feet X 25 \/ 12,000 \u2013 0.5<\/p>

For example, the average price of installing a 1.5-ton central HVAC system is around $2000.<\/p>

This project cost increases with the tonnage.<\/p>

The 2-ton new AC unit cost is around $2600 with installation, while a 4-ton new AC unit cost is around $370O with installation.<\/p>

Brand\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>

The brand that will serve your home cooling needs should always be the best brand to choose.\u00a0<\/p>

Installation costs depend on air conditioner prices and who you hire to install your air conditioner<\/b>.\u00a0<\/p>

Residential Location<\/h3>

The climate in your residential location determines the cost of installation.<\/p>

For example, around 25,000 to 30,000 BTUs cool a 1200 ft.\u00b2 home in hot humid weather.<\/p>

You\u2019ll only need around 20,000 to 25,000 BTUs to cool the same area when outside temperatures are moderate.\u00a0<\/p>

The average price of your air conditioner reduces, as you go with lower SEER.<\/p>

Quotations<\/h3>

Professional contractors do not compromise on the costs involved in upgrading their service equipment and having skilled technicians on their teams.<\/p>

A professional installation is competitively priced taking into consideration these factors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The basic rule is that 1-ton AC units are capable of cooling 400 square feet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

This effectively means that this AC produces 12,000 BTUs\/600 square feet.<\/p>

Using this as the base, let\u2019s calculate the AC tonnage needed to cool a 1600 ft.\u00b2 home.<\/p>

1600 \/ 400 = 4 tons of AC cooling (4-ton air conditioner)<\/p>

Your HVAC system must be able to cool 48,000 BTUs per hour (4.0 tons X 12,000 BTUs).<\/p>

These 1600 ft.\u00b2 home air conditioner units are available at approximately $3600 per unit.\u00a0<\/p>

Your HVAC installer adds labor, ducting and insulation costs, if any, to the installation price.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How Do You Calculate The Installation Cost Of A New Air-Conditioner By Its Unit Load?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This is performed by a professional HVAC contractor to prepare a quotation for the unit cost of a residential AC system.<\/p>

The calculation is based on what is known as the Manual J Load calculation.<\/p>

There are several factors that influence this manual load calculation.<\/p>

  1. The existing duct system must bear the load of the new HVAC system. The professional HVAC installer measures separate manual loads for each room, if a replacement for the ducting is needed.<\/li>
  2. The number of doors and windows, their type, and where they are placed.<\/li>
  3. Layers of insulation on the ceiling and walls. This is measured in R value, which determines how well these two-dimensional barriers are able to resist conductive heat flow.<\/li>
  4. The number of occupants in the home influences the manual load. Each human puts a load of approximately 250 BTUs on the AC system.<\/li>
  5. A higher ceiling increases the area to be cooled and must be calculated in the manual load.<\/li>
  6. The direction of the rooms with regard to the sun matters. A room takes longer to cool when its windows face the sun.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The HVAC pro uses the HVAC load calculator to calculate the BTU capacity of residential air-conditioning units.<\/p>

    The tool takes into account the area to be cooled, the number of windows, installation, and other factors that affect the load on the air-conditioner.<\/p>

    Once you have a clear idea of the AC unit size and the average cost of installation, the HVAC pro performs a full heat load analysis to determine the exact size of your AC and the energy costs to sustain it.<\/p>

    The full load heat analysis comes up with exact heating and cooling numbers for your home to remain cool in summer and hot in winter.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      The certified and experienced HVAC technician leaves nothing to chance.<\/p>

      The first step is to make sure your residential air-conditioning installation fulfills all local licensing and permit requirements.<\/p>

      The next step is to ensure you get maximum benefits from your air conditioner insurance terms.<\/p>

      Professional HVAC contractors use the best technicians, administrative staff, equipment, and perform comprehensive quality checks to ensure consistent heating and cooling temperatures that comply with SEER ratings.<\/p>

      Quality installation ensures the right-size central air-conditioner cools the home.\u00a0<\/p>

      HVAC contractors cover damages and wearing out of parts in the warranty terms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      What Are The Hidden Costs To Worry About In A New Air Conditioner Installation?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      It doesn\u2019t matter how well you\u2019re prepared with your budget for a new AC installation.<\/p>

      There is usually some hidden cost to replace a damaged component or two when the installation begins.<\/p>

      If you have been living in your home for a few years, consider additional costs for the following:<\/p>

      Vertical Wall Framing Member Damage\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>

      HVAC installers are likely to come across rotting vertical framing members or wall studs, especially in the basements of old homes.<\/p>

      Water tends to collect in the basement and seeps into the walls. The wall studs begin to rot after repeated exposure to moisture.<\/p>

      This is visible only after the drywall is removed. Add the additional cost to replace these rotten wall studs.<\/p>

      Ductwork Repair<\/h3>

      Older homes have existing ductwork for heating in place.<\/p>

      Ducts get tangled, ripped, or damaged at various places.\u00a0<\/p>

      This goes unnoticed until the new AC system is installed.\u00a0<\/p>

      You pay more to repair or replace these damaged ducts.<\/p>

      Repairing Dry Walls<\/h3>

      The new HVAC system is likely to have a new design that demands additional cuts to be made into the drywall for a correct fit.\u00a0<\/p>

      Additional costs are involved to achieve this.<\/p>

      Increased Power Capacity<\/h3>

      New central air-conditioning units require dedicated circuits and must be hardwired.<\/p>

      Can your existing power supply run the central air-conditioning unit with an additional 15 to 60 amperes of current?\u00a0<\/p>

      If your answer is no, then you\u2019ll need to increase the power capacity to ensure your energy efficient model runs consistently at optimum levels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Are There Any Additional Costs After Installation?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      The cost of running central air conditioners<\/u> can go up to $250 a month based on several factors that affect the operating costs and electricity usage.<\/p>

      1. Well insulated windows and doors keep warm air outside. This helps keep the cool air inside for longer periods of time, thereby putting less electrical load on the AC system.\u00a0<\/li>
      2. It goes without saying that AC units consume more power to cool a bigger home.<\/li>
      3. The location is also important. Outside temperatures are lower, if trees and greenery provide shade to your home.<\/li>
      4. Run the central air-conditioner only when it gets uncomfortable and hot. This ensures a lower electricity bill.<\/li>
      5. Avoid running your unit at peak hours when electricity charges are higher.<\/li>
      6. HVAC contractors set the thermostat at optimum levels. Changing these levels to cool the room at lower temperatures increases energy use.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
