Summers in Sarasota coincide with homeowners suddenly becoming aware of just how old their air conditioners are getting. From the noises clicking and clacking to the lackluster temperature, new A/C units are on the minds of homeowners. The biggest barrier to purchasing a new unit more often than not falls on cost. Modern Air & Refrigeration is aware of this re-occurring obstacle to a comfortably cooled home. We have put together a handy guide on how you can save money on the purchase of a new A/C unit to help our community be cozy this summer.
Start Local
According to HomeAdvisor a new A/C unit can cost homeowners up to $5,250 complete with installation. This is not a minor purchase that is uninvolved in terms of client participation. Purchasers are expected to pick the right system for their home, the right company or contractor to install, and more importantly have a plan ready for continued maintenance on their new 5,000+ dollar investment. This is why it is imperative to work with a local Sarasota company such as Modern Air & Refrigeration. You want a new A/C unit partner that you can reach anytime you have an issue.
Incidental Costs
A huge surprise to potential purchasers of a new A/C unit is the incidental costs of the process. Buyers will adequately budget for installation costs as they are a key factor in total new A/C system costs. However there are hidden costs beyond the installation of a new system. Most often old A/C units are hampered further by old or faulty ductwork as well as ineffective insulation. These are issues best addressed at the time of a new A/C system installation as they could lead to subpar performance of your new system. As a buyer budget accordingly for any issues that might arise besides the system cost and installation.
Take Advantage of Rebates and Promotions
An often overlooked aspect of a new A/C unit purchase is the numerous rebates and promotions offered by governments and companies alike. In Florida alone with state and federal rebates taken into account there are currently 65 potential rebates available to residential homeowners alone. The Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency is an excellent resource to check for these rebates and offers. In terms of promotions Modern Air & Refrigeration currently has six different promotions running for various types of services they offer. This includes an amazing $400 off a new Trane or York A/C system. Take advantage of all of your resources to minimize your expenditure when it comes to a new A/C system purchase.
