Room Size, BTU and Unit Cost
Air conditioning prices varies depending on the brand, model of the A/C unit and many other factors. Most homes around the world are already installed with air conditioners because of the many benefits of having it at home as well as its efficiency in keeping the home comfortable.
The size of the units is another factor in air conditioning prices. This is an issue where there is truly not much choice. The unit must be big enough to handle the job, or else it will freeze up on the hottest days, when it is needed the most. The unit can not be too big that it cycles on and off too frequently either. This will mean the system is not helping to control the humidity inside the home, which can cause an uncomfortable living environment, as well as other problems. Generally speaking, when it comes to air conditioning prices, the larger units will cost more.
There are two main factors that go into air conditioning prices: size and quality. Those who want the best, most efficient units are going to pay the most money. Those who feel they can get by with a little less will find there are some products on the market for them as well. Some additional minor factors will also play a role in the costs. Some consumers may be willing to pay a little more for a specific brand. Together, these issues can add up to a significant difference in air conditioning prices
The installation cost depends on the length of pipe runs, type of bracket used and site requierments.
BTU = British Thermal Units
Kw = (BTU X 0.0002928)
