"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"

"They came out late for an appointment that had already been rescheduled on their end and ended up giving us no real ideas for design and re-do on our backyard. Then they never returned calls or emails. Never got an estimate. Complete waste of time. Disappointing."

"We first hired emergency air to try and save our home ac system but after spending $2000 and another $3000-$4000 being discussed to try and get it up and running we determined best path forward was just to replace the system. They had told us by choosing the new system we would be refunded the $2000 we already paid and it would be like it never happened. They showed us the price of two systems and the system we settled on they showed us that we would owe $16000. I asked them at the end of the day what this entire experience would cost me and the said $16000. Well low and behold a few days pass and it turns out they used the $2000 as a down payment so everything was going to cost us $18000. We have been asking to speak to a manager for 3 days now and we keep being promised they will call and it has yet to happen. We feel they were 100% dishonest and deceitful and lied to us since we asked then straight up what everything would cost."

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.
