Usually, it will take one to five days for a professional to install a central air conditioning system in your home. A/C replacements and projects with extensive ductwork, repairs, or installations will take more time.
Typically, a new air conditioner will cost around $2750, but it will depend on the size of your home and the type of unit you need installed. Consider installing a new air conditioner when you buy a new furnace—by adding both units to your forced air system at the same time, you can save on costs by reducing time and labor.
Yes, usually any home can have central air. You will have to allow for ductwork and other design allowances, but it can be done. Before making the decision to have central air installed in your home, you should schedule an in-home consultation with a certified HVAC technician to get an idea of the total cost. Other cooling options for your home aside from central air include ductless splits and geothermal systems.
