Air Conditioning Repair Services Near Seven Hills, Ohio

If you’re looking to replace your air conditioner, you could be wondering how much the replacement will cost you. We've broken down the major factors that affect pricing to help you make the best decision for your home and your wallet.

Capacity

An air conditioner’s capacity or size determines its ability to meet the cooling demands of the home. The bigger the home, the bigger the capacity.  A professional installer will take a load calculation of your home to determine the proper capacity.

Efficiency or SEER Rating

An air conditioner’s SEER rating is similar to a car’s fuel economy. Just like you may want to know how many miles per gallon a car can get, we use a SEER rating to describe how efficient an air conditioner is.  The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the air conditioner.

Quiet Performance

If your air conditioner is located near an outdoor patio or even outside of a bedroom, you may be more sensitive to the sound it puts off.  Air conditioners can range from 50-70 dB, with 50 dB being the quietest.

Ductwork Modifications

Your new system may also require ductwork modifications if your existing ductwork isn’t the right size. Ductwork helps circulate conditioned air throughout your home. In order to properly cool your home, your ductwork must meet your new system’s airflow requirements.

Compressor Types

Compressors come in variable-speed, two stage and single stage performance.  Variable-speed compressors offer the quietest operation and are the most efficient.  Two-stage compressors are a bit more cost effective and offer two stages of cooling. Single-stage compressors meet the basic industry standard for efficiency and performance.

Other

The costs of an air conditioner replacement doesn’t just stop with the air conditioner itself. There’s always costs associated with permits, labor, thermostats, electrical modifications (if necessary), line set, condensate drainage and more.
