Window AC or New HVAC System: Get the Most Cool for Your Money

If you’re considering the price of running a window AC unit versus the price of installing a new HVAC system, there are several factors to consider. Both options have benefits but the right choice for you will depend on your specific needs and circumstances.

Consider This

The area that you want to cool is an important consideration. If you are wanting to cool down multiple rooms and have a larger home, a new HVAC system may be the more cost-effective option. However, if you only need to cool a small area, a window AC unit may be more cost-effective.

The age and efficiency of your window AC unit is also an important factor. Older window AC units tend to be less efficient than newer models, which means they use more energy and cost more to operate. If your window AC unit is more than 10 years old, it’s likely that it’s not running as efficiently as it could be, driving up your energy bill.

Another factor to consider is the cost of repairs. If your window AC unit requires frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to invest that money in a new HVAC system.

Window Unit Benefits

There are some benefits of using a window AC unit. First and foremost, window AC units are generally less expensive to purchase and install than a new HVAC system. If you only need to cool a small area rather than multiple rooms or an entire house, a window AC unit may be the most cost-effective option.

Window AC units are also portable and can be easily moved from room to room. This can be especially beneficial if you only need to cool certain areas of your home, or if you move frequently. Window AC units are also easy to install and can be done without professional help. This can save you time and money on installation costs.

Helpful Alternatives

If you’re looking for low-cost alternatives to installing a new HVAC system, there are a few options to consider. Proper insulation can help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing the load on your HVAC system and lowering your energy bills.

Installing a programmable thermostat can also help you save money on your energy bills by automatically adjusting the temperature based on your schedule. You can set the temperature higher when you’re away from home and lower when you’re at home, saving energy and money.

Ceiling fans can help circulate cool air throughout your home, reducing the workload on your HVAC system. Read our blog to find out why ceiling fans work to keep you cool in summer and warmer in the winter. There is more to it than you may think such as running it counterclockwise in the summer and clockwise in the winter.
