What If I Already Have Air Conditioning?

If you have an air conditioning system and it's satisfying your needs, we're happy to hear. That being said, have you ever thought that maybe it's not delivering quite as much as it could?

There comes a certain point where "good enough" isn't good enough.

Maybe you're relying on window AC units. These are nice if you're living in an apartment building without a central air conditioning system. However, if you're a homeowner, with multiple rooms and residents to keep cool, they can really lose their luster.

It's certainly cheaper to buy a window unit than it is to install a central air conditioning system. But they can be far more expensive in the long-term if you have multiple units in different rooms.

You can end up using four or five windows to do the work of one central air conditioning system. It's a hassle and a money-suck that 1-800 Plumber +Air of Huntsville can help you avoid.

These are some of the other issues with air conditioning window units:

Home Security

Installing an AC unit means opening a window and keeping it open. If you have a unit on the first floor, thieves have a much easier way into your home. Wouldn't be so better to keep your home cool without having to keep a window perpetually open?

Safety

If an AC window unit is properly installed, it should stay firmly in place. However, an inefficient and/or rushed job could cost you your air conditioning and someone's life, especially if you live in an upper-level apartment building. We don't mean to scare you. It's just an important reminder of not taking any chances with bulky items like these.

An AC unit can weigh more than 60 pounds, so there's no excuse for not having it properly secured. If you have to choose a window unit, we implore you to read the installation instructions carefully and consider seeking assistance from a friend or professional with AC window unit installation experience.

Transportation

Moving is already difficult enough. You shouldn't have to deal with the added hassle of uninstalling one AC window unit, putting it in a box, and loading it into a truck, much less multiple ones.

Lack of Aesthetic Value

We may not be interior decorators, but we do know that a bulky box sitting in an open window doesn't exactly scream "dream home." It could also ward off potential buyers if you're trying to sell your home.

Remember: owning a home is an investment, and central air conditioning installation should be part of that investment.

Air Conditioning Installation Cost Factors

In the United States, the average cost of installing a central air conditioning system is $7,000. On the higher end, that can be as much as $15,000. A more complicated job is going to be a costlier one. However, the expenses are justified when you witness the positive effects of central air conditioning installation.

These are some of the main air conditioning installation cost factors:

Home Size

A central air conditioning system could work great for cooling a smaller, bungalow-style home. However, if you're living in a larger residence, you're going to need a larger system. These will also be more expensive overall, as more energy is going to be expended for them to cool your home.

Region

Since you live in HUntsville, you know how much of a necessity central air conditioning is, especially during scorching summers. To withstand those sticky, 90-degree-plus days, you need a system that's particularly powerful.

Existing Ductwork

A major component of air conditioning installation cost is putting in ductwork. However, your home might already have ductwork and central air conditioning in place. You might need to install a new central air conditioning system, but it's possible to do this without having to completely take out your current ductwork. You should still be prepared to pay for new ductwork installation.

Energy Efficiency

A central air conditioning system's Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is its output over its energy consumed. The greater the SEER, the great its energy efficiency is. The highest possible SEER is 21, but anything rated 13 or above is desirable. Higher SEERs can also mean a more expensive central air conditioning installation.

Calculating Cost

Although there's no surefire way to calculate an overall air conditioning installation cost, we do have a tool that can help. This cost calculator, designed by HomeAdvisor, is incredibly helpful at giving you a general idea of how installation will cost.

Why You Should Upgrade Your Huntsville Central Air Conditioning System

Having a central air conditioning system is better than relying on window units. However, not all central air conditioning is made alike. As with any home appliance, you need to make sure yours is the best you can get.

These are some reasons why you should budget for a new Huntsville central air conditioning system.

Age

Central air conditioning isn't like wine. If yours is older than 20 years, its better days are behind it. Older systems can become less effective at cooling homes and wear-and-tear from regular vibrations could lead to health and safety risks such as refrigerant leaks.

Performance

The most energy-efficient central air conditioning models are going to be newer ones. A new system can do a better job of cooling your home than your old one at a significantly reduced rate, long-term. Plus, your carbon footprint can shrink, aiding the planet in the process.

You might wonder if you should shut off your central air conditioning system if your home is going to unoccupied for long periods of time, such as when you're at work or when you're on vacation.

At first, it can seem like an obvious solution. Experts recommend unplugging electronics like televisions and microwaves when they're not in use. Shouldn't the same go for central air conditioning?

However, despite your good intentions, turning your central air conditioning system off for extended periods can cause it to consume far more energy than it would if you just kept it constantly running.

The reason is that, with your system off, your home is going to get warmer. To make up for lost time, your central air conditioning is going to have to work even harder to cool your home. This means it could burn out at a premature rate.

It's fine to turn off your central air condition system for the winter or other times when temperatures have tapered off considerably. However, if it's hot outside, you should make sure it's cool inside.

Better Features

A good way to remember that we're living in the future is by looking at the amazing features that come with new central air conditioning systems. These are some of the things you have to look forward to with an upgraded model:

Automatic Thermostats

Your cooling needs at noon are different from your cooling needs at 7 p.m. Thanks to modern central air conditioning thermostats, temperature control can be programmed so that your home is exactly as cool as it needs to be at any given time.

Thermal Expansion Valves

Refrigerant is the lifeforce of your central air conditioning system. Thermal expansion valves help to ensure the proper amount of refrigerant can safely make its way through your central air conditioning system's evaporator.

Filter Change Alerts

You should change your air filters at least once every two months. If you worry you'll forget to do this, newer central air conditioning systems come with lights that tell you when to switch yours out.

Don't put off changing your filters. Waiting too long can cause your system to wear down and also cause health problems, such as respiratory infections, headaches, and potentially cancer.

Satisfied Customer

This was THE most painless repair experience! We had a leak in a pipe behind our water heater, spewing water out into space, ugh. Joe and his apprentice, Dan, were here in about an hour or so. They were both so very friendly from the moment they showed up at the front door! After they determined the problem, we discussed the needed repair, and then they began to replace the pipe(s) behind the water heater. This was pretty much an all-day job and I can honestly say it was no problem having them in my home. They were not only professional and courteous employees; they were two very kind individuals, who were also comfortable and friendly around my crazy dogs! I have had nothing but the finest experiences with this company and cannot recommend them highly enough! They are the best!
