Once you’ve estimated the cost of the unit itself and its installation costs (if any), it will be much easier to plan your budget.

Don’t forget about operating costs! The operating costs of an air conditioner are dependent on the amount of energy used. Operating costs are also dependent on climate. For example, in Milford will you be using your air conditioner solely in the summer or in both the summer and winter? Be sure to choose a system that has the capacity to cool your space.

Energy consumption will affect cost. Every unit has an energy label where you will find the energy class. The energy class indicates the unit’s amount of power. This will allow you to better estimate the cost of electricity per kWh.
