How Much Should an Air Conditioning System Cost? 

It’s official; you have to replace your A/C system. Nobody enjoys this day, and nobody wants to worry about budgeting for it, but alas, ‘tis part of Columbus homeownership. So where on earth should you begin

First, understand that the price of a new AC fluctuates based on multiple factors. The first is your lifestyle and the other people residing in your home. Are there health conditions that will necessitate a special type of air cleaning equipment? Do the residents in the home have an issue with warmth or coolness, or an affliction that would that would result in the home needing to stay at a particular temperature or humidity level? What hobbies take place inside the home? These factors will help choose which air conditioner is best for your family. 

The next thing to examine is the actual home. Do you have a lot of windows and which direction do they face? What level of insulation is installed in the home and how efficient is the ductwork? Does the home require (or do you desire) electric, solar-power, gas, etc? At Stevenson Service Experts, we will come out and assess your home to go over the systems available based on your home’s design and unique characteristics. 

The other factor to think about is which company to choose. Though one company may have the system you want at a budget you like, be thorough and find out if they are bonded, licensed, and confirm they are insured in the event that something happens 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 Stevenson Service Experts, we are not only bonded, licensed, and insured, but all of our team go through a complete background check, drug test, and are trained to work on all major brands of air conditioners. We also offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so you can be assured in the work we deliver. 

Alright, alright, you’ve thought about all this but let’s answer the real question. How much is this going to set you back?
