This is our 1st summers in our house.There is No AC in the house and for 1st time after so many years I m reminded of Indian summers.

So, I need advice on this subject.Should we go for central AC or window?And if anyone can give me a rough figure as to how much it will cost?And from where should get it?

I remember our home inspector had mentioned that you have the AC wiring already.You just need a AC.

Your inspector was hilarious . It is like having a horn and all you need now is a car.

AC installation depends upon factors like :
1. Size of the house .
2. Size of the furnace
3. Basement finished / unfinished
And most importantly your budget . There are two diff kind of AC's avlbl - With Freon gas and R410 . Freon AC is much cheaper than R410 gas because it has been phased out by the govt as it is not environmental friendly .
Than chose the efficiency based on their SEERS rating . Now a days 13 -16 seer AC are very popular . Diff of price between 13 and 16 Seer will be roughly more than 500 CAD
If you hang out in backyard very frequently than I would suggest you to go for higher end model with extra low noise.
Hope this info helps you a little .

Cost of an AC for roughly 2000 Sq ft / R 410 gas / 13 Seer / OEM Carrier will be around 2500 CAD from a reliable source . If you shop around you might find much cheaper guys doing it w/o license .
