HVAC technology has vastly improved in the past few years.
A new system can address any hot or cold rooms more efficiently to increase comfort, remove dust and allergens more effectively, and the energy savings can help defray the cost of replacement.
What does insufficient cooling mean?
When the flow of fresh air from outside into the AC unit is limited, the performance of the unit will be affected. Reduced performance leads to insufficient cooling in your living quarters.
Insufficient cooling caused by your air conditioner is a sign that the system is not functioning optimally. It could very well be your that you need AC compressor replacement.
New AC System Cost in Tampa and St Pete
A new outdoor AC unit installation costs the average homeowner $3,200 to $7,500 for a basic outdoor air conditioner replacement.
Replacing an air handler typically costs anywhere from $3,300-$7,025.
The following items are typically required to install a new air conditioner:
- Physical parts, like: indoor evaporator coil(s), outdoor pad, outside electric disconnect, electric conduit from the disconnect to the air conditioner, new copper line set from the indoor coil to the air conditioner, and 15 feet of PVC pipe for use as a drain line
- Local permits
- Electrical costs: breakers and thermostats
- Ductwork modification, if necessary
- Drainage
Incorrectly sized ductwork can lead to hot or cold spots in your home, even with a new system.
Long-term, this can increase your energy costs and shorten the life of your air conditioner.
Your HVAC partner should conduct a thorough duct analysis to see if your existing ductwork is sized properly for your home and your AC system.
New AC System Considerations
AC Contractors must follow several crucial processes to ensure your system’s efficiency, safety, and life expectancy.
Failure to comply with any of the necessary processes required by local codes, the manufacturer, and industry standards can only lead to high energy bills, discomfort, and a shortened life expectancy of the unit.
It’s also important to note that many HVAC companies don’t include labor or other fees in their estimates. As a result, you could end up paying more than you anticipated.
