The Bureau of Economic Analysis calculates regional price parities, which measure prices of goods and services across states. This data suggests that costs are highest in the District of Columbia, Hawaii and New York. But not all states spending more on schools have higher overall living costs.
Homeowners can pay between $500 and $4,000 for central air conditioning. The final cost will depend on the unit, additional installation items such as ductwork and the professional's installation rates. Here are some additional factors that will determine the kind of system you will need, as well as its price.
The average cost to replace an air conditioning unit, without any work to the current ductwork, generally starts around $2,750. This price will include the A/C unit and labor costs. These prices are only indicative of a new cooling system, if you also need to replace your heating system this price will increase.he average air conditioning system will last between 10-15 years. Even if your air conditioning system has not stopped working completely, it could be worth looking into replacing your older system for a new system that is more energy efficient.
