Frequently Asked Questions
How much does AC repair cost?
Most AC repairs cost $100–$600 plus a service call fee of $75–$150. Common repairs include refrigerant recharge ($200–$600), capacitor ($100–$300), and fan motor ($200–$600). Compressor replacement is the most expensive at $800–$2,800.
How much does a new AC system cost?
A new central AC system costs $3,500–$10,000 including installation. Heat pumps cost $4,500–$14,000 and mini-splits cost $2,000–$13,000. Higher SEER ratings cost more but save on energy bills.
What SEER rating should I get?
The minimum SEER2 rating is now 14–15 depending on your region. Higher-efficiency models (16–22 SEER) cost 10–60% more but use significantly less energy. A 16 SEER unit uses about 15% less energy than a 14 SEER.
How long does an AC system last?
Central AC systems last 15–20 years, heat pumps 10–15 years, and mini-splits 15–20 years. Regular maintenance (annual tune-ups, filter changes) can extend lifespan significantly.
What size AC do I need?
AC size depends on home square footage, climate zone, insulation, and other factors. A general rule is 1 ton per 500–600 sq ft, but use our AC Sizing Calculator for a more precise estimate based on your specific home.
