How much does a home air conditioner cost?

It really varies from company to company and also depends on the size of your house and where you live.

But for the most part you are looking at about $3,500 - $5,000 for a house that's about 2000sq ft.

The best thing would be to get several quotes and ask some neighbors, friends and relatives if they can recommend someone for you.

Hope that helps.

===========================

===========================Look at the manufacturers label for the air conditioner to determine the wattage rating. Use that to figure out how many watts per hour. For ease of comparison/math convert that number to kilowatts. Your electric company usually bills customers in kilowatts. Multiply the kilowatts for your AC unit times the hours per day and multiply that by the cost per kWH, divide by 100 (decimal placement) and you have your answer.

Unit cost * kW * hours / 100=

For example a 1000W unit operated for 24 hours a day at a cost of 10 cents per kWH:

10*1*24/100= $2.40 a day, running continuously.
