You too can save money with the correct air conditioning system

You work hard for your money so don't waste it by not having the right A/C system for your home. No matter where you live, some HVAC system is probably required to keep your home comfortable inside.

Older AC units are not as efficient as some of the air conditioning systems out today. Whether you prefer Carrier, Goodman or Rheem, you will be sure to find air conditioners in your budget. You can also find air conditioners on sale from many suppliers like Budget Air Supply.

But each step up the cooling ladder comes with a commensurate cost. Costs of air conditioning system can vary depending on many different factors. But, it doesn't have to cast a lot of money.

If looking for a furnace or cooling system, we recommend trying to determine what size you need first. Choosing the right air conditioning unit will help you save money and getting one with enough power to cool your home is important. First we look at how much heat can a unit remove from a home in an hour. That number is called tons. Common ac units range from 3 tons - 4 tons.

A one-ton unit, for example, can remove 12,000 British thermal units (BTUs), while a three-ton system will remove 36,000. If you in a small home, less cooling power is required. Larger homes require more. As an example, a 1,600 sq ft hose might be just fine with a 2.5 ton ac unit.

However, many other factors come into play in finding out which size furnace or aircondition will work best in your home. For example, a basement is naturally cooler than first- or second-floor rooms. "You cannot calculate the size and tonnage by square foot alone," says Butch J., owner of Budget Air Supply in Davenport, Florida.

The next thing for you to do is call Budget Air Supply so that we can find a contractor near your home. While it's possible to purchase an air conditioner from a wholesaler or find air conditioners on sale and install it yourself, the level of skill required is substantial. Also, you must be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency to handle refrigerant.

For homes that have never had central air or aircondition, an installation requires new breakers in your electrical panel, wires run through your foundation, new duct work linking to your existing HVAC system and the mounting of your unit on metal brackets or a concrete pad.

Angie’s List members who had new air conditioners installed in 2014 reported paying an average of $5,230, with a general range of $4,425 to $6,025, not counting discounts many service providers offer to Angie’s List members.

There are sometimes tax credits for new A/C units to help offset the cost of air conditioners. It may also be possible to find rebates or tax breaks from state agencies.

Unfortunately, federal tax credits expired at the end of 2013 for residential systems that are Energy Star-rated and aren't part of a new home. You can go to the Energy Star website for current tax credit information. It is fast and easy. State governments may offer rebates if you install a particularly high-efficiency system, but they are often limited in duration, so it's worth checking around before you hire a professional air conditioning company.

In addition, air conditioning manufacturers are phasing out the hyrdochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) known as R-22, which is an ozone-destroying greenhouse gas. Today, R-22 production has been reduced by 90%. Under current regulations, manufacturers may no longer produce and companies may no longer install new A/C units that contain R-22. The only thing still allowed is that companies can still manufacture new parts, such as condensers with R-22, for replacement in existing units.
