How much does it cost to install a central air conditioner?

Installing a central air conditioner is priced case-by-case after an in-home evaluation, and final pricing is confirmed on-site. Cost depends on the system your home requires and the complexity of the installation, not just the equipment itself. If your AC is over 10 years old or needs frequent repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense than another fix. A right-sized system usually costs less to run than an oversized unit that short-cycles. We install systems throughout the Deland area, bringing local experience to match common home layouts. Free estimates and financing are available, and Maintenance Agreement members receive $500 off AC and heating system installation.

Typical factors that change the price:

• Tonnage and efficiency rating (SEER2) of the new unit
• Condition of existing ductwork or need for changes
• Electrical, pad, or line-set updates at the install site
• Thermostat and indoor air quality add-ons, or choosing ductless/heat pump options
