To understand the big difference in price, let's split all Air Conditioners into 3 different tier systems:
Notes: Prices Above estimates for Air Conditioning Units From 1 Ton To 5 TON.
Spending more money on the highest-tier models does not necessarily mean that you are getting the best value for your home. We highly recommend a licensed contractor to inspect your home and help you with these selections. Sometimes, you may not need all the features associated with the premium or mid-range tier and you could still get the best value out of an entry-level air conditioning system.
1. Size of Your Home: Air Conditioning Systems can range from 1.0 TON To 5 TON Depending on How Your Home Is Build & Design. In HVAC Space with use the BTU or TON to determine the size of an Air conditioning system Each TON is 12,000 BTU.
We need to convert BTU to tonnage. 1 ton equals 12,000 BTU. That means that, on average, we will need 0.0016 tons per square foot.
“…an air conditioner generally needs 20 BTU for each square foot of living space.”
To Say This In TON Metrics We could also say:
we will need 0.0016 tons per square foot for residesntial air conditionig systems.
Notes: These metrics are based on average homes in Canada.

A Standard split air conditioning system has its components in two or more separate locations. A split system's condensing unit is often located outdoors, and its evaporating unit is placed indoors. Usually, the evaporator is installed in a central air handler cabinet that is connected to a network of ducts. Some of the ductwork is used to return air to the air handler. Cooled and dehumidified air is distributed to the conditioned spaces through a series of supply ducts and returned to the evaporator through return ducts—this arrangement of using forced air to cool a conditioned space described as a central air conditioning system.

To get an adequate scope on what you need for your home, we recommend obtaining the accurate square footage of your house; then proceeding to our Size Calculator to determine the exact size you will need.

Oversized units can make winter happen all over in your home again- and maybe outside as well with high costs.
All three systems use a refrigerant to transfer the heat inside your home and pump it outside. Hence, from a cooling perspective, all three systems use a similar operation method. However, all three systems have restrictions when it comes to doing a professional installation.
A heat pump can provide heating and cooling in winter and summer, but a central air conditioner or ductless system only produces cooling. Central air conditioning cools the entire house, but ductless units only cool one room or selected zones. To avoid any surprises and unwanted costs, we highly recommend arranging an in-house or telephone assessment to go through a complete checklist with one of our air conditioning experts. They will be able to advise on the best location to install your unit inside and outside.
The “SEER” Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, which measures the efficiency over the entire summer season. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the unit. Residential units are usually rated using this technique. Residential Air conditioner SEER ranges from 13 to 21 SEER.

Here are five common problems we often see during Air Conditioners Service Calls
We hear our customers every day. Here are six common problems reported during air conditioning service calls.
At Home Trade Standards, we always first check the general condition of your system. For instance, check for leaks, proper refrigerant charge, and malfunctioning refrigerant controls and motor controls. We also check for moisture in the system. Moisture in the refrigerant can form ice in the metering device, resulting in a gradual decrease in performance as the system operates.
Often the same blower, filter and duct system are used during both the cooling and heating seasons. The blower must be cleaned at least once a year. The motor should be lubricated (a few drops of SAE 30 oil)once or twice a year, if applicable, Air Filter should be inspected monthly and cleaned or replaced as need.
The Condensing unit should be checked and cleaned if needed once a year. The condenser especially should be blown clean of debris; Any bent fins should be straightened. Ca carbon dioxide blower or vacuum cleaner can be used o clean the unit. Pressurized washing wands are useful to clean the coils from the inside out.
Lastly, the evaporator coils should also be cleaned of any lint and have any vent fins straightened. Check condenser drainage. Condensate that escapes the drain pan may drip on the furnace heat exchanger, corroding rusting it. If the condensate drain is clogged, it may be possible to blow out the blockage using compressed gas.
