"I hired Authentic Cooling & Plumbing to replace an existing through-the-wall air conditioner, and they did an excellent job. The team was professional, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. They carefully removed the old unit, ensured the wall opening was properly prepped, and installed the new unit with a clean, secure fit. The new AC works great, and the installation looks seamless. They also cleaned up the area afterward. I highly recommend them for anyone needing a reliable AC replacement"

"I hired Emergency Air for routine HVAC maintenance. They informed me that my units needed replacement soon and offered a discounted install if I agreed immediately, as they had a cancellation. The discount included a cosmetically damaged return unit, which they disclosed upfront. Although I initially wanted to collect more quotes, their promise to match any "apples-to-apples" offer persuaded me to proceed. Installation happened quickly, but the crew left debris behind (including insulation and a 3' Unistrut), failed to anchor the units properly, and generally gave the impression they didn’t want to be there. Follow-ups were required for several issues: anchoring the units, caulking vents, repairing drywall, and fixing a loosened shelf. These stretched out into November. When I later tried to invoke the apples-to-apples price match, I was told it didn’t apply post-installation—contrary to what I was promised. After persistent follow-up, I was eventually told I had two years to submit comparable quotes. I did exactly that—twice—with valid, lower-cost quotes for the same equipment. Emergency Air stalled responses, rejected the quotes over technicalities (like unsigned documents), and ultimately claimed my lower quotes didn’t offer the same “value.” Their internal comparison was inaccurate—listing services they never performed, such as installing a new condenser pad (they reused the old one). When I raised these concerns, they doubled down, insisting the price difference was justified. A representative even accused me of being unethical for seeking price matching after installation—despite it being part of their sales pitch. After months of delays, broken promises, and evasive communication (including missed calls and ignored emails), I gave up. It took until April to get any resolution, and even that felt like a dismissal. Bottom line: Emergency Air did not honor their own price match policy, misrepresented their services, and showed poor customer service throughout. I would not recommend them to anyone. Always get multiple quotes—don’t make the same mistake I did."

Running a window air conditioner to cool a small room often costs less than $4 per day, making it cheaper than central air for single-room cooling. However, central air might be more efficient if you're using multiple window units or need to cool a space larger than 1,000 square feet. Choosing the right size AC is crucial—a unit that's too big or small can waste energy and increase costs.
Window AC units can use a significant amount of energy. These units use about 12 to 17 kilowatt-hours per day, significantly more than a refrigerator's one to 1.5 kilowatt-hours per day. To keep your energy costs down, run your window AC only when necessary, keep doors closed to contain the cool air, regularly clean filters and coils, and seal any gaps around the unit to prevent cold air from escaping.
Inexpensive air conditioner units are often not worth it. Low-cost products from popular brands like General Electric, LG, Whirlpool, or Frigidaire may be a reasonable investment. However, putting a small, budget-friendly unit in a large room wastes energy and shortens the life span of the AC since it has to draw more power and work much harder to cool the space. The unit will consume more energy and stress the motor and other internal parts, resulting in early breakdown and costly repairs.
The best deals on window AC units come during the fall when businesses slash prices to clear out old inventory. You can also speak with your local AC installer, who may get you a good deal on a window AC unit since they have access to trade pricing. You can also watch for discontinued products and flash sales in your area.
Window AC repair costs between $110 and $390, with most people paying around $250. Parts cost between $2 and $150, with the rest going toward labor, at around $30 per hour. The occasional one-off repair or a routine AC tuneup cost $75 to $200. Servicing can keep your AC running in good condition for several more years before you need to pay for a replacement unit.
Window AC units last eight to 10 years when installed and maintained correctly. High-quality models last up to 20 years with proper care and routine maintenance. The unit’s longevity depends on its construction quality, regular cleaning, and electrical safety inspections. Keeping the filters and coils clean and addressing minor repairs promptly extends its effective performance and ensures reliable cooling.
