Central Air Costs

Hello all,

Just curious, if you had central air installed, was it actually cheaper to install during the winter or summer? I have heard that that is a myth but want some feedback.

Thanks.

when my parents did it 3 years ago it was cheaper to do it in the winter then wait to the spring...they quickly bit the bullet and did it around christmas time before they went away for the winter to save some $$$

9 vents - 2 level house cost us 8000.00
had it installed in middle of may- 4 years ago.

Re: Central Air Costs

sometime you do get winter specials, but on average about 3,000 per ton.

Capes and Ranches run around 6,000

small to med. Splits, 8,000

Colonials 10,000 and up

Usually goes by square footage buy you also have to add for directional sunlight.

Last year my unit cost 9,600 less 400 lipa rebate, less 1,000 lenox rebate, and 1,500.00 energy credit.

We have a colonial around 2,500 sqft. But use some existing
venting we had from the older CA unit.

Good Luck
Arthur
