Air conditioners can be air purifiers
Air conditioning can be an expensive venture but you should always think of it as an investment, says Kyle Lumsden, president of Clearview Plumbing and Heating. “The resale value of your home not only increases, but you have to put your comfort first. With central air conditioning, there will be no more sleepless nights,” he says.
Few people realize air conditioners also act as air purifiers.
“They allow you to condition and filter the air which is really important to your health and comfort.”
It is really important to take your time picking a company that guarantees quality.
“You should always have a professional come to measure your home so that you have the appropriate system. If you have a system that is too big for your home, you are wasting your money. Your utility bills will be higher and the system just won’t be efficient. If you choose a system that is too small, you won’t condition your home effectively — you will waste money as well.”
As the heat rises, many companies come out of the woodwork claiming to install air conditioners but it is important to choose one wisely, says Lumsden.
“Check out the Better Business Bureau. Make sure that they are licensed and that they have good references. It’s very important to choose a company that knows what they are doing.”
More money doesn’t always mean a better central air system. “It is not all about the brand when it comes to air conditioners. It is about choosing the correct size for your home and having it properly installed.”
So just how much should you spend on a central air system?
“It really depends on the size of your home. The larger your home, the more it will cost you. It also depends on how many rooms you want to control. Some people may only want to air condition a few rooms rather than the whole home,” says John Senycz, service manager at Arpi’s Industries Canada Ltd.
The average costs of central air conditioning systems vary, but you should expect higher costs in a very large home.
On the low end, a central air system will cost you about $2,200 for a smaller home. A larger home could cost you about $6,000. These figures might seem steep but you have to remember it is all about comfort.
“Central air systems are an investment,” says Senycz.
