Richard Ashworth I have a 9 year old forced air gas furnace and have been thinking about adding an AC unit to it this year. Roughly what should I expect cost wise.

Hi Richard,
Welcome to ActiveRain.

If you want to write articles, you need to post those on your blog.  If you have a question for us or we have a question for you this (Q&A) is the place.

I do have a question for you:  Will I be able to get Freon for my central air conditioning unit after 2019?

1. Does the A/C bring in outside air or just ciruculate? 

2. Does the fan?

3. Why are A/C units so expensive?

4. Can a consumer purchase a unit from a wholesaler & hire to install it?

Thank you for the introduction Richard Ashworth . I'll have plenty of questions for you. Being in Arizona, HVAC is a critical component and also a source of abuse by less than honest contractors. I have you bookmarked.

Just like when folks ask real estate relatged question, most often the precise answer is 'It depends.'

In HVAC the hot topics are:

Who moved my Freon
Inverters
Attic blankets
Kill you with smartness
And my favorite....how to calculate the size of unit(s) appropriate for a 3400 SF house, single story, with 12 foot ceiling and a wall of west facing windows....sunsets you know.  Let's through in a HEPA filter for the fun of it.

The question is inspired by the mobile cooling units the alert agent spied in the owners closet. 99.9% of agents will say "Consult and HVAC engineer."
