  • Average: $14,000
  • High: $23,000

What factors affect the cost of an AC installation in Mesa?

The Size in Tonnage of the AC: Air conditioners are sized based on their tonnage. The higher the tonnage, the more conditioned air a system can push through the home. Home size is an important factor when it comes to sizing an AC. An AC that’s too small for your home will run constantly and cost you a fortune in energy bills. An AC that’s too big means you’re paying too much for what you need. Rusty’s sizes each system perfectly, so you’re never left guessing.

The Efficiency Rating (SEER or SEER2): The most important measure of an AC’s efficiency is its SEER or SEER2 score. Higher SEER Or SEER2 scores equate to higher efficiency systems, which means you’re paying less every month to run the system. Here in Mesa, where ACs run constantly for months on end, a high-efficiency system can save you a lot, and is well worth the premium that a higher SEER score commands.

System Rebates & Specials: You can find deals on new ACs all year long. Some are offered by local energy companies. Others by state and federal governments. And you’ll even find deals offered by the manufacturer and the contractor who installs them. At Rusty’s, we work hard to find EVERY deal possible to save our customers as much money as possible on their installation.

“Rusty’s Air Conditioning is our new go-to for all our HVAC needs!”

—Tyler C.

“Rusty’s Air Conditioning is our new go-to for all our HVAC needs! We needed to replace one of our units, and the pricing we received from Rusty’s was incredibly fair. The technicians that came to replace it were so professional, friendly, and made sure to keep my house clean by wearing booties and keeping their work area tidy. They did a beautiful job with the install- we had another company replace our second unit a few years back and Rusty’s guys did a WAY better job! Everything looks so clean and you can tell they care about their work. Thanks to Sean, Richard, and of course Rusty for a job well done!!”

Choosing the right size air conditioner is crucial for optimal performance and energy efficiency. The size is typically measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) or tons. Factors to consider include the square footage of your home, insulation, climate, and the number of windows. The good news is the installers at Rusty’s will always perform a load calculation on your home to help determine the appropriate size for your specific needs.

SEER & SEER2 stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and it measures the efficiency of an air conditioner. It is calculated by dividing the cooling output during a typical cooling season by the total electric energy input. The higher the SEER or SEER2 rating, the more energy-efficient the air conditioner. In many regions, such as here in Mesa and the East Valley, a higher SEER or SEER2 rating can result in lower energy bills over time. When selecting an air conditioner, it’s advisable to choose a model with a SEER or SEER2 rating that aligns with your energy efficiency goals and local regulations (here in Arizona, that’s a SEER score of 14.5 or higher.)

Yes, many modern air conditioning systems are compatible with smart thermostats. Smart thermostats offer advanced features such as remote control through mobile apps, programmable schedules, energy usage tracking, and compatibility with smart home platforms. Before purchasing a smart thermostat, ensure it is compatible with your specific air conditioning system. Professional installation may be required, but the integration of a smart thermostat can enhance convenience and energy efficiency.

We sure do! Investing in a new air conditioning system is a significant expense. To make the process easier, we offer financing options as low as 0% interest for $0 down. Our financing plans provide flexibility, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a new and efficient air conditioning system without a large upfront cost. Contact our team for more information and to discuss the financing options available for your specific needs.
