"This company is extremely predatory! A family member had an hvac unit installed approx 4 years ago and every year the heat would not function properly and would switch to auxiliary emergency mode and was told "it's too cold to run properly." It never was frozen over.ot just wouldn't turn on! She has lived in climates with -20 degree winters and 20 year old appliances and never had the heat not work due to it being "too cold". During the summer, her AC never pumped out cold air properly and was told "it's too hot for it too work properly." Literally every few months she had the unit "serviced" and would have to call back when it stopped working again. The unit had a 10 year manufacturer warranty and each time she had someone come out she was told parts and services were not included! Each time she had to fight with them to say she has the warranty and didnt have to pay. She was also told no one could service this equipment other than them or it would void the warranty. After contacting the manufacturer of the unit, they said that was an out right lie and when we brought that up to the technician he admitted that she was told a lie. We were told the owner would come and assess the unit personally but never showed and only sent techs. Only until she mentioned her son in laws dad was a retired general contractor and was going to send in one of his guys to check the unit did they finally find the problem they couldn't seem to find the last few years. Had she not fought about the warranty, called traine, and spoke with family, this company would have charged her over $800-1000 each time they came out to "fix" the problem. To do that to a older widow is disgusting and people should be aware of what this company does to it's customers. We will also be reporting to them better business bureau and to trane."

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.
