Q: Does adding central air increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-units-central-air.htm">adding central air</a> can increase your home value by as much as 10%. Generally speaking, prospective buyers prefer a central AC system over a ductless system or room-by-room AC units. That&rsquo;s because central air conditioning blends into the home easier than individual room air conditioners and typically has less equipment to maintain.</p></div>

Q: Should I turn off my AC if it’s leaking?

• <div><p>Yes, you should turn off your AC if it&rsquo;s leaking. Turning off the AC will prevent more condensation from leaking from your unit, and it will also reduce the increased strain on the system if a damaged internal component or a lack of refrigerant is the culprit. As soon as you notice a leak, turn off the system and investigate the source of the leak or call a pro to inspect it.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to add AC to a 2,000-square-foot house?

• <div><p>Many factors affect how much adding air conditioning will cost you, from the size of your home to the size, type, brand, and installation specifics of the system itself. Chances are, a new central air conditioning system for a 2,000-square-foot house will cost somewhere between <b>$3,900 and $7,900</b> to install, with an average around <b>$6,000</b>. </p></div>

Q: Are AC units with a lower SEER rating being phased out?

• <div><p>The DOE is phasing out AC units with SEER ratings that fall below 14 or 15. The exact minimum rating depends on your region. In the northern United States, new ACs must have a minimum SEER rating of 14, though you can still buy and install older systems as long as they were compliant when they were manufactured. In the southern and southwestern United States, you cannot buy or install older air conditioners with lower SEER ratings. The minimum rating is between 14.5 and 15, depending on the power of the unit.</p></div>

Q: What happens when an AC compressor overheats?

• <div><p>When a compressor gets overheated in central air systems or heat pumps, it can still cool your home for a while until it eventually gives out. If the compressor is chronically overheated and no one addresses the root cause, it will create an incredibly expensive problem when your entire HVAC system breaks down and stops working altogether.</p></div>

We are very pleased with the work he did. He replaced an old dryer venting line that had completely broken down and was putting a lot of lint out into the inside of our home. It so nice to run the dryer now and not have all that hot moist air and lint going everywhere. Thanks Van
