Can you add central air to an older home?

• <div><p>It is possible to add air conditioning to an older home, but it can be very expensive to do so. Expect to pay anywhere from <b>$6,000 to $17,000</b> or more for the ductwork and AC unit. You’ll also have to hack into the home’s walls and ceilings to add ductwork, which can impact the aesthetics of an old home.</p></div>

What causes condensation on air vents?

• <div><p>Condensation forms when warmer, outside air combines with cooler air in your ductwork. This can happen when there are leaks in your air ducts, your HVAC system has a dirty air filter, or there’s a lack of insulation around the ducts. To prevent it from happening, replace your HVAC filters as directed. Also, once every five years, hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/air-duct-cleaning/">local air duct cleaner</a> to clean and inspect them.</p></div>

How much does it cost to replace air conditioner coils?

• <div><p>Replacing an evaporator coil costs around <b>$1,350</b> on average. The coil itself, depending on the size and brand, can cost from <b>$550 to $1,100</b>. Professional labor averages about $700 total. Note that a license is required to work with refrigerants, so it’s necessary to have an AC pro complete this task.</p></div>

Q: How do I reset my AC after a power outage?

• <div><p>You reset your AC after a power outage by turning off the air conditioner from the thermostat, resetting the circuit breaker, waiting 30 minutes, turning on the AC from the thermostat, and waiting 10 minutes to see the impact. Sometimes, with a power outage, the AC needs time to reset itself, so resetting the circuit breaker alone may not do the trick. </p></div>

Q: How can I tell if an AC vent is blocked?

• <div><p>A blockage in the ductwork may prevent air from flowing through the vent. If some rooms in your home are very hot or cold and another isn't, that can be a sign that a vent is blocked. Another sign of a blockage is a buildup of dirt or dust around the vent. In either case, a duct installer or cleaning service can investigate the issue for you and recommend a course of action.</p></div>

Majano Heating and AC came out on schedule. They found that the AC breaker had tripped, and guessed that this was caused by the compressor going bad. I felt stupid for not checking the breaker myself. They charged me $60 for a call-out fee, which I suppose is about average. They also quoted a...
