The average Ocala, FL, family spends over $2,200 a year on their energy bills. Half of this total cost is spent on heating and cooling their home throughout the year. Learn more about the different air conditioning systems and what they cost to operate each month below.
Central AC System
A central AC system combines a condenser, evaporator and compressor to cool your entire home. This type of system can cost about $100 a month to operate based on the size of your home and what temperature you set the thermostat at.
It’s important to have the right-sized AC system for your home to save the most money as possible. A system that’s too large will constantly turn on and off, costing you money. A system that’s too small will also cost you money as it’ll continuously run in a futile attempt to cool your whole home.
Heat Pump
Contrary to the name of this appliance, a heat pump heats and cools your Ocala, FL, home. They are more efficient than central AC systems and will save you money each month on your electricity bills. They cost more to install, though, but that cost is offset by energy savings.
Ductless Mini-Split AC System
Ductless mini-split systems are great if you just need to cool one or a few rooms. They’re about 20 to 60% less expensive to operate than a central air conditioning system. One of the reasons for their efficiency is that they don’t use ducts, so conditioned air isn’t lost to the outside world.
