Are installation charges applicable to new air conditioner? In most cases, yes, installation charges are applicable to new air conditioners. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
Standard Installation Costs:
Installation typically involves services like:
- Delivering the AC unit to your location
- Mounting the indoor and outdoor units on designated walls or brackets
- Connecting the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring
- Performing a leak test to ensure proper refrigerant flow
- Setting up the thermostat and testing the AC unit for proper operation
The cost of this standard installation can vary depending on several factors:
-
- Location: Labor costs can differ based on your geographic region.
- AC unit type and complexity: Installing a complex multi-split AC system might cost more than a basic window AC unit.
- Additional services: Services like extra-long refrigerant line runs or condensate drain line work may incur additional charges.
Who Pays for Installation:
The installation charges are usually not included in the initial purchase price of the AC unit. You will need to pay for them separately, either to the retailer who sold you the unit or directly to a licensed HVAC technician who performs the installation.
Alternatives for Installation:
- Some retailers might offer bundled deals that include installation for an additional fee.
- You can also explore DIY (Do-It-Yourself) installation, but this is only recommended for those with electrical and HVAC expertise. Improper installation can lead to safety hazards, malfunctions, and void warranties.
By understanding these points, you can factor in the installation cost when budgeting for a new air conditioner.
