Feel Refreshed and Stress Less About Your AC Needs

Cool Breeze Guaranteed: Veteran-Owned Air Conditioning Installation

Whether you’re sweating because of a small air conditioner or completely new to the service — deciding what type of AC system you need doesn’t need to be a challenge. If you haven’t made the leap into that cool summer breeze, you’re probably afraid of overspending or ‘salesy’ upselling that drives you nuts.  If you want an honest Colorado Springs HVAC company, rely on Falling Star Heating and Cooling for cost-effective central air conditioning system installation solutions built on military pride and elite craftsmanship.

Central Air Conditioning

A central air conditioning system unit provides cooling throughout your home by connecting to your ductwork to keep your home comfortable. This is a powerful, efficient, and long-lasting air conditioner system that does the job right.

Ductless Mini-Splits

Ductless mini-split air conditioners (or mini-splits) provide room-specific cooling, allowing you to create zone-based HVAC support that is more cost-efficient. It’s like having an air conditioner in every room of your home or office where comfort is more personalized. 

Heat Pumps

Don’t let the name confuse you: heat pumps can also cool homes. They provide your home or business with numerous air conditioning benefits and an energy-efficient design. We can show you how heat pumps work and what cost-effective solutions are available to you. 

Evaporative Coolers

Evaporative Coolers (or swamp coolers) are a Colorado Springs favorite. Not only are they cheaper than a central AC system, but they use less energy as they rely on water-saturated pads to cool outside air. It’s another way to have affordable air conditioner  you’ll love.

Don’t Overpay for Your New Air Conditioner

So, How Much Does A New AC Unit Cost in Colorado Springs?

AC installation typically costs about $5,000 for a new system and labor charges. It depends on what type of air conditioner system you choose, what brand your air conditioner unit is, the square footage of your home, and if there is an existing system that needs to be replaced.

 

Here are some basic price expectations that you can think about before getting a free quote from your soon-to-be favorite HVAC techs in the Springs:

  • Central AC starting at $70/month

    Depends primarily on how big your house is and how much cooling power is needed.

  • Ductless Air Conditioners starting at $70/month

    Because mini-splits cool in zones, you may need just one unit or you may need multiple air handlers. If you need a multi-zone split, add on about $1,000 for each zone.

  • Heat Pumps starting at $70/month

    The price will vary based on if you have ducts in your house or not. There are often local incentives for installing heat pumps since they are more energy efficient.

  • Evaporative Coolers starting at $70/month

    The cheapest ac system on the air conditioning menu is a swamp cooler. The cost varies if they are portable, ground-mounted, or roof-mounted.
