AC UNIT COSTS

In many parts of the country, such as in the Phoenix area, air conditioning is no luxury. Because of this, if your unit is getting old, you may want to think about buying a new one. The best way of determining how much it will cost you to get a unit that is just right for home is to have a qualified technician visit you, but there are ways in which you can estimate the cost... Typically, Americans spend anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000 for a new air conditioning system. The average price is a little more than $6,500. Though prices range from a little more than $500 to $12,000... Because it is hot in the Phoenix area all year - and because the heat can get extreme in the summer months - the costs of buying a new air conditioning unit here is somewhat different than it is in other parts of the country, such as in the Northeast.
