What you should know about air conditioning pricing
- Economy Tier: Good quality air conditioners at slightly lower prices. Best for small houses, less than 1500 sq.ft.
- Mid-range: Most popular, higher efficiency than the Economy, and priced more competitively than the Premium. An excellent choice for most homes.
- Premium: You will pay more for the Premium Brand name. They are not necessarily better products, it's just that they spend more money marketing their brand.
Economy Air Conditioner Pricing (Estimates)
Focusing on overall efficiency of their air conditioning units these brands offer consumers several efficiency options from 13 to 19 SEER, without the additional innovative technologies seen in the upper tiers. If you are willing to give up some bells and whistles available in the higher tiers, then these brands are an excellent option for cooling your home without breaking your budget.

| Goodman | $2800-$3800 |
| Keeprite | $2800-$3800 |
| York | $2800-$3800 |

Air Conditioner Pricing by Unit Size
Larger homes need larger Air Conditioning Systems. It's that simple.
1.5 Tonnes from $2400 to $3400
2 Tonnes from $2600 to $3600
2.5 Tonnes from $2800 to $3800
3 Tonnes from $3100 to $4100
3.5 Tonnes from $3500 to $4500
4 Tonnes from $4000 to $5000
These are estimates, and other factors come into play when pricing a system, such as the existing unit, or in a new house if it is "AC" ready.
Beware of Rebates that seem too good to be true
On a final note, compare the price of the unit "after" the rebate with the other quotes you have received. Sometimes the rebate is simply a marked UP unit, marked back DOWN, for promotion. Central Air Conditioner prices vary by manufacturer, efficiency and installation requirements but not by thousands of dollars.
