    $4400 for an air conditioner, that's crazy.
    I got mine 15 years ago from LG and cools the entire house 12.000 BTU, for $350.

    I am saving my money to replace my old heat and air units. I been living in my house 23 years with the same heat and air system and I keep it clean out 3 times a year with my shop vacuum and cleaner evaporator coil and out condenser coil and I keep my outside AC unit covered up during winter time

    This is not a correct price comparison because the video exclusively lists Trane air conditioners. There are lower priced and higher price ranges, based on the manufacturer.

      There is nothing wrong with the units. If you are having issues, most likely they were installed incorrectly. I would have a licensed HVAC contractor come out to your property and assess the situation. 99% of problems in this situation are from poor installation practices.

    What is the breakdown of the unit price and installation fee? Some 3 ton unit costs less than $2000.

      Each home has a unique solution based on many contributing factors as mentioned in the video. There are many different sizes and brands of AC’s. Some AC units themselves are half the initial cost of others. Trane is a higher quality unit than some brands and has a higher initial investment, but a lower cost to own longterm due to lower repair cost. AC units are pay now or pay later. As are the installing company. Shortcuts on installation will make it cheaper on the sale, but much more expensive to maintain and cause a shorter life span.

    My question is why do air conditioners cost so much? On a smaller unit it just does not seem to be that much to them to justify the high price.

    • @fireiceheatingandaircondit4363
      @fireiceheatingandaircondit4363  2 роки тому

      The short version is regulation, supply chain shortages, raw material price hikes, high cost of labor to install one correctly. Just to name a few. Manufacturers have raised pricing 4 times in last 8 months with more planned for this year.

      @@fireiceheatingandaircondit4363 Too expensive.....Too high a cost of a condenser change out. If it's a straight change out you have Freon, a drier, soldering the lines and recharging to specs. Pretty straight forward. Check the evaporator for its condition, and off you go. Not rocket science.
      How about just a compressor change out? How much for that?

      @fireiceheatingandaircondit4363  2 роки тому +4

      New AC efficiencies take new evaporator coils to handle the higher efficiency. If you want a backyard mechanic to replace your ac, then find one. If you want a professional to do it right and do it legally, then feel free to contact a qualified contractor who will answer your phone call 24 hours a day all year long and who offers a real warranty and stands behind it.

      @@fireiceheatingandaircondit4363 I had a 7.2Kw unit installed. The air handler is wired off the air conditioner disconnect, instead of a separate breaker. They installed exactly as it was, and their electrician sign off on it. Would you have fixed this or left it for the homeowner to find out? I'm just curious if it's something I should demand the AC company fix or was it never their responsibility as part of the install.

    • @fireiceheatingandaircondit4363
      @fireiceheatingandaircondit4363  2 роки тому +3

      Once they touch it, it becomes their responsibility to bring it up to code. Most jurisdictions require permits to be pulled and work be inspected. The Air Handler should be on it’s own dedicated circuit. We would have installed it correctly.

      It only covers the outdoor condensing unit and the indoor coil that would sit on top of a furnace. If you are talking about an air handling unit as the indoor portion, this video is not correct for that scenario.
