How Much Does It Cost To Install Air Conditioning In A House?
The cost of air conditioning in the home can range from the hundreds to the thousands and will depend on a number of factors. We take into consideration everything from the type of system to the amount of labour involved.
We believe in pricing all air con units on an individual basis and will do our best to ensure you’re provided with a highly competitive quote. We offer a full installation service and the price of air conditioning will include the cost of the unit, labour and materials.
What’s Included in The Price of Home Air Con Installs
When we provide a quote for home air conditioning, we take into consideration a number of things. This is to ensure you receive a quality unit or system that doesn’t have any unexpected or additional costs involved. Every unit and system is different and the labour and materials needed will vary from project to project.
The Type of Unit or System
One of the biggest things that impact the cost is the type of unit or system you choose. Free standing or overhead units are usually more friendly on the pocket. This is because the amount of labour involved to install it is minimal. Whereas large units or units that are purpose built or installed into your home will typically be larger and require more tubing, piping which results in more labour being needed.
Labour
Labour isn’t just about how much we decide to charge because we can, our labour is priced fairly to ensure our customers receive an affordable but high standard of service. The labour will be priced on the amount of work involved in the installation and the amount of people needed to install it. Once you’re quoted for your air conditioning, you don’t need to worry about any additional costs.
Additional Materials
All of the costs involved in additional materials are taken into consideration when you’re given a quote. Most air con systems and units require additional materials such as tubing, mounting materials, fittings, fasteners and a number of other additional materials. With the cost of these included in your overall quote there’s no reason to worry about seeing costs for additional materials outside on top of your final bill. If a large amount of additional materials or work was needed due to an unexpected problem, then we’d advise on this and costs before carrying out anymore work.
Property Style
A final factor that can sometimes affect the cost and air conditioning is the style of the property. Whilst most properties can have freestanding and overhead units installed easily larger systems typically require more work. Larger systems might require adaptations to walls or ceilings to complete the installation. Installing larger systems in new build properties is much easier as the design and plans can be worked around it.
Why should I have an air conditioning system installed in my home?
Whilst it’s an investment, there’s a number of advantages to having an air conditioner installed into your home. Air conditioning at your property comes with great benefits for your health and your home, some of the benefits include…
Health benefits
Air conditioning helps to prevent dehydration and heat strokes as being exposed to excessive heat for long periods can cause dehydration. It also helps to improve the quality of air which can help to reduce Asthma, allergies and dry skin, as well as aggravating respiratory problems and tract infections.
Energy efficiency
Having an efficient air conditioner installed properly in your home will help to lower energy bills and also help you to lower costs over the lift of the system. Estimations have indicated that some people have saved up to 50% energy through using an efficient air conditioner system to cool their home.
Noise
The majority of domestic air conditioning units out there tend to have a silent operation feature, this means there’s no risk to the system affecting your comfort level through being noisy.
Air quality
Having adequate airflow and ventilation is the key to improving air quality, sometimes this can be achieved through levels of natural ventilation like opening doors and windows, but more often than not, it’s recommended using an air conditioning system. As well as keeping you cool it will also help to reduce or remove pollutants and humidity.
