Costs range from $3,800 to $7,500 for a central air conditioner. Depending on how much cooling power your home requires, you can spend more or less.
The larger and more powerful a system you need and the more expensive it will be, the larger the space you wish to cool. The main variables that affect AC pricing ranges are shown below.
- System type: Air conditioning systems designed to cool individual rooms are more expensive than central systems.
- System size: The price of a system increases with its size.
- Size of the home: Larger homes need stronger cooling systems.
- Labor: The expenses of installation are highest for systems that are more complicated or challenging to implement.
On average, an AC unit should be replaced every 10 to 15 years. The exact lifespan can vary depending on factors like usage, maintenance, and climate conditions. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can extend the unit's life, but as it reaches the 10-15 year mark, it may become less efficient and more prone to breakdowns. Replacing the AC unit with a newer, more energy-efficient model can help improve comfort, reduce energy consumption, and avoid costly repairs in the long run.
The cost to install a water heater can vary based on factors like the type of water heater (tankless, traditional tank), capacity, location, and labor charges in your area. On average, the installation cost can range from $500 to $1,500 or more. Tankless water heaters tend to be more expensive to install due to additional requirements. It's best to obtain quotes from licensed plumbers to get a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs and the complexity of the installation.

Visually inspected indoor evap coil and blower compartment Checked all electrical connections and safeties Checked volts and amps Visually inspected air filter Rinsed condenser coil Blew out drain line and poured water to ensure properly draining Tested condensate pump Checked refrigerant levels Checked capacitor Took temps While performing the maintenance we found that the capacitor in the condenser had shorted out burning 2 wires. Also found a mouse had chewed up wiring for the low pressure switch stopping the unit from turning on. Replaced the capacitor and repaired/replaced all wires. While testing the unit we found it was low on refrigerant. After getting customer approval we added 1lb 10 oz R410A and Uv dye to the system. Need to return to perform a leak search. During the maintenance we also found that the air handler and the condenser are getting power from the same breaker. Recommend having an electrician come out and fixing the wiring for both units.

Performed an A/C pm on (2) systems. Replaced the air filters for the attic system and washed the filters for the ductless system. Blew out the drain lines. Rinsed the condenser coils. Checked the electrical connections, pressures and temperatures. The Fujitsu ductless, 117*f in heat, 47*f in cooling. Systems are operating properly.
Andrew H.
Washed condenser coil Checked all electrical connections and safeties Blew out drain lines and poured water to ensure proper draining Tested all heads in high heat and cool Checked volts and amps Visually inspected evap coils, blower compartments and filters. Washed all filters with water. All heads were putting out 109-118 degree air in high heat mode and were putting out 45-55 degree air in high cool mode. Unit are operating properly Would recommend cleaning the blower wheel of the head in the first bedroom upstairs.

Upon arrival unit was off on reset. Checked the history of the primary control and saw that out of the 15 saved previous runs only 3 lit and the ohms were well over 2000 for all 3. This indicates that the cad cell eye was having a hard time seeing the flame. Checked oil flow and had a lot of air in the oil line. Checked the nozzle and saw it had been dripping. Also saw a large formation of carbon in front of the nozzle assembly indicating the nozzle had been dripping for a while. Replaced the nozzle, cleaned the electrodes and removed the carbon buildup and any oil residue. Bled the oil line again and started and tested the system. Had to cycle on and off multiple times to burn off all excess oil from when the system was not igniting. Started and tested the system. Unit is running at 7.2%o2 40ppm co 0 smoke Recommend getting a maintenance done before the end of the heating season as one has not been done in over a year.

Brushed and vacuumed flue pipe and heat exchanger Replaced oil filter, nozzle, and strainer Checked all electrical connections and safeties Performed combustion and smoke tests 5.7%o2 80ppm co 0 smoke While performing the maintenance we found that the combustion chamber has fallen apart and a section is missing from the bottom. Showed the customer and informed them it may impact the performance of the furnace. While performing the combustion test we found that the o2 increased from 4.3%o2 up to 5.2% when the blower turned on indicating there is a crack in the heat exchanger. Recommend replacing the furnace before any issues arise.

The expansion tank has a spot of the water side of the tank that is starting to leak and bubble the paint. The tank needs to be replaced. Isolated and drained the pressure from the boiler. Removed and replaced the extrol tank. Filled and purged the system.

Performed a heating pm on an oil boiler. Brushed and vacuumed. Replaced the oil filter, nozzle and strainer. Started and checked the safeties. Performed a combustion test. 10.4% o2, 1ppm, 0 smoke, 78.9% efficient System is operating properly. There are (2) Hi-vents that have corrosion on the top of them from a previous leak. Recommend replacing them.

Upon arrival water heater was off and valved off. Opened valves to fill the water heater and found that the pressure relief was the cause of the water leak. Once the water heater was full the pressure relief started dripping. Drained water from the system and removed the old pressure relief. Installed the new pressure relief and filled the system back up with water. Started and tested the system. While testing the water heater we found that the aquastat was not sensing the water temperature correctly. When the aquastat was set to 100 the unit would not turn off until the temperature of the water was 125-130. Recommend replacing the water heater instead of the aquastat due to the age of the tank.

Valve off the boiler and drain. Replace the circulator pump. Fill and purge the system. When the system was empty, noticed the pressure gauge was still reading 20 psi. Replaced the pressure/ temperature gauge. Started and test.
Larry H.
Performed a heating pm on an oil boiler. Brushed and vacuumed. Replaced the oil filter, nozzle and strainer. Started and checked the safeties. Performed a combustion test. While testing the system, the boiler came up to temperature and zone valves opened but the circulator did not turn on. There was 121volts coming out of the aquastat going to the circulator. The circulator is drawing 0amps. The circulator pump is bad and needs to be replaced. The domestic coil gasket has leaked and corroded the steel of the tankless coil and possibly the boiler. The boiler is older.

Upon arrival unit was off on reset. Upon further inspection found the boiler was plugged internally. Performed emergency cleaning on the boiler. Brushed and vacuumed flue pipe and heat exchanger Replaced oil filter, nozzle and strainer Checked all electrical connections and safeties Performed combustion and smoke tests 8.0%o2 30 ppm co 0 smoke
Andrew H.
Upon arrival found the system had air in it and also saw the boiler pressure was around 5. Lightly lifted the arm on the autofeed and the autofeed lest more pressure into the system. Air got into the system when the autofeed never filled the system back up with water when air would leave the system. Bled both zones and got all air out of the system. Boiler pressure when leaving was 20 psi. Unit is working properly. May need to replace he autofeed in the future if it continues to stick and not add water to the system.

Performed a heating pm on an oil boiler. Brushed and vacuumed. Replaced the oil filter, nozzle and strainer. Started and checked the safeties. Performed a combustion test. 7.1%o2, 0ppm, 0 smoke, 81.6% efficient System is operating properly. Removed burner motor and cleaned the blower wheel. There was some cat hair in the wheel. Recommend vacuuming around the area due to fur was on the pipes and on the burner. Don’t want to have issues in the future.

The water heater burner was off on reset. Reset the control and it started then the flame went out. Checked the oil flow, the oil was foamy with air. Checked the oil tank, the level is at approximately 3/4. Checked the oil filter. The filter was dirty but not plugged. Replaced the filter. After replacing the oil filter, checked the flow at the furnace and noticed a lot of air in the line. Bled the line until there was good clean oil at both appliances. Followed the oil line from the tank to the mechanical room, the line sits on top of the concrete, did not see any oil residue or oil spots. The concrete is rough where the oil sits. If there is still an issue with air in the line, recommend replacing the oil line. With the line sitting on the concrete, it can wear a hole a draw in air.

Furnace maintenance for a residential customer in Meriden, Connecticut. I was dispatched to conduct a checkup this afternoon. The furnace is now in proper operating order. The flame sensor was quite dusty and had to be cleaned, as well as the condensate pump. All air filters were replaced and the thermostat was checked. The client is very pleased.

Upon arrival the furnace was turned off. There was oil on the inside of the burner cabinet and was dripping from the burner. Upon further inspection found the nozzle was plugged and was not spraying oil correctly causing it to coat the inside of the burner and some of the burner cabinet. Replaced nozzle, cleaned nozzle assembly, and removed large amount of carbon buildup from the blast tube. Attempted to start the burner when we saw the nozzle oil line was dripping oil due to the flare no longer being good. Replaced the nozzle oil line and started and tested the furnace. When performing the combustion test we saw an increase in o2 when the blower turned on. This indicates a crack in the heat exchanger is starting to form. When the blower turned on the o2 went up .9%. This can cause soot/smoke to come from the vents and could cause an oil/soot smell. Cycled the unit on and off multiple times to burn off any remaining oil from. Recommend replacing the furnace as soon as possible. 6.7%o2

Upon arrival boiler was on but was not running. Upon further inspection found the pilot flame had been blown out. This isn’t an unusual thing at slightly higher elevations and with no trees around to block wind from the chimney. Took thermocouple out and it have no debris on it. Cleaned it off and attempted to light the pilot. The pilot flame had no issue at all lighting or being seen by the thermocouple. Unit is working properly
Andrew H.
Upon arrival taco leakbreaker was working properly but the burner primary control was off on reset. Pressed reset button and the burner turned on but did not start. Checked oil flow and had good flow. Checked nozzle and found the nozzle was starting to drip and was not spraying at the correct pattern leading the burner to not see the flame properly. Replaced the nozzle and cleaned up the oil from the nozzle assembly and the blast tube. Started and tested the water heater. Cycled unit on and off multiple times to burn off and residual oil. Unit is working properly. Performed combustion and smoke tests 5.6%o2 37ppm co 0 smoke

Brushed and vacuumed flue pipes and heat exchangers Replaced oil filter, nozzles, and strainers Checked all electrical connections and safeties Performed combustion and smoke tests Water heater-7.6%o2 34ppm co 0 smoke Furnace-5.6%o2 34ppm co 0 smoke While starting and testing the water heater we ran into issues with the aquastat not sending power down to the primary control. The aquastat would turn on and then go right into lockout. We were able to get the water heater to start up but the control may cause issues in the future. Recommend replacing the water heater because it is from 2006. Manufacturers say oil water heaters typically last around 15 years and this one exceeds that.
