We’re about to buy our first home and we’re planning on buying new. Builders have upgrades and to make the most out of our money, we need to know if it is cheaper to buy the central air unit through the builder since they’re already installing the furnace, or should we wait till after we take possession and then have it installed after?
From my research, I found that buying outside would be between $3500-$5000 – I don’t know how much the builder would cost. (We’re looking at Losani)
If the builder installs the A/C you will pay for it over the life of the mortgage, so add 30 years of interest to the cost! Also, separate installation gives you a warranty and access to the installer.
