Cooling FAQs
How much does air conditioning cost in electricity?
The electricity cost for running air conditioning units depends on the type of unit and the size, as well as your electricity rate (kWh). According to HomeGuide, on average, it costs $30-$270/month to run central air conditioning, $17-$72/month to run a ductless mini-split, and $20-$55 to run a single window AC unit. Knowing the best configuration of cooling units to efficiently keep your house properly cooled can help lower your electricity costs and save you money in both the short and long term.
Should I use an HVAC service contractor for air conditioning?
Using an HVAC service contractor can prevent issues before they happen and lead to cost-savings over time. HVAC technicians are trained experts, and not just in checking YouTube. Burkee’s HVAC technicians go through tech school, get their EPA certification, and complete a minimum 600 hours onsite training with Burkee’s field supervisor, as well as participating in continuing education as technologies change. With this expertise, HVAC technicians know what it takes to efficiently cool the different spaces in your home, so you’ll have the right air conditioning system for your home, running at its highest efficiency. HVAC technicians also perform preventative maintenance like checking refrigerant levels, changing air filters, and cleaning fans and vents. In all, having an expert taking care of your AC system saves on monthly energy costs, prevents expensive repairs, and extends the life of your AC system.
How much is a new air conditioning unit?
New air conditioning costs depend on a few factors, the system type, the system size, your home size, and the labor that goes into the job. These factors lead to a big range in potential costs, where one window unit AC can cost as little as $150 whereas a system of ductless splits may cost as much as $14,500. One key to controlling costs is understanding what systems will best cool the spaces in your home. Before making a purchase decision, talk to an HVAC expert like Burkee Climate Control to understand how to install the best possible system for your spaces.
How long do air conditioning units last?
Air conditioning units typically last around 10-15 years, but routine maintenance can significantly extend the life span. Factors like usage and the type of system also play a role, with bigger systems like central air lasting longer than small systems like portable AC or window unit AC. As the systems age, they also can lose effectiveness and may no longer seem to be blowing cold air or may run longer than it did before. These issues can lead to expensive repairs but are often preventable by scheduling routine maintenance.
What is central air conditioning?
Central air conditioning is a general term for whole-home air conditioning systems. Whole-home air conditioning systems circulate cool air through a system of supply and return ducts throughout your home. There are different types of central air conditioning systems, each that cool your home in different ways. Consult an HVAC expert to better understand the central air conditioning system that is best for your home.
What is a ductless mini-split?
A ductless mini-split is an air conditioner that has two components, an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. They are connected via a conduit that provides the power and refrigerant to the part inside your home. Mini-splits can often provide for more flexibility when looking to cool specific areas and depending on your home may be easier to install.
Heating FAQs
What is a heat pump system?
Heat pumps are systems that are meant to transfer heat as opposed to generate it. Heat pumps use electricity to transfer heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. Put simply it pulls in warm air when you need to heat your house and moves out warm air when you need to cool it. Heat pumps are often considered the most energy efficient way to heat and cool your home.
How much is a new furnace?
The cost for installing a new furnace depends on the furnace’s size, type, and efficiency. Also depending on how accessible the area of installation is, you might have additional labor costs. Picking the right furnace for your situation can help reduce on-going costs. Consult an HVAC expert to better understand what a new furnace will cost for your home.
How long does a furnace last?
The lifespan of a furnace depends on its usage and type, but will typically last 15 years and could last up to 30 years. It’s estimated that regular maintenance can extend a furnace’s lifespan 5-10 years, making it the most significant factor in determining your furnace’s life expectancy.
What is an air handler?
Often paired with a heat pump, air handlers are the part of your HVAC system that moves air throughout your home. It’s the part of your system that contains the blower and the filter racks. This is also the part of your system that can benefit most from routine maintenance by cleaning the filters, coils, and ducts.
How long does a water heater last?
On average water heaters last from 8-12 years, but often at around 10 years it’s wise to start considering a replacement. Performing routine maintenance, however, can significantly increase the lifespan of your water heater and help prolong replacement.
How does a tankless water heater work?
Tankless water heaters use electricity or gas to immediately heat cold water after it enters the unit. Depending on your hot water usage, tankless water heaters can be an efficient and convenient solution to your water heater needs. It is important to talk to an HVAC expert to best understand the pros and cons of a tankless water heater for your home.
