Tired of tossing and turning at nights during summer? Are you thinking about upgrading the wall AC in your home? Let’s help you understand how investing in a central air-conditioning system can change your life while simultaneously adding more value to your property.
As per usual, we have divided our blog into two sections. First, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of adding a central cooling system in your house. Afterwards, we will take a look at the cost of central AC in Pakistan.
Pros and Cons of Investing in a Central Air-Conditioning System
Here are some pros and cons of investing in a central air-conditioning system in Pakistan to help you make an informed decision:
Pro: Smart Upgrade
Investing in a central air-conditioning system – also known as industrial ac in Pakistan – is a smart decision. It is completely easy to install and requires fewer efforts to install as compared to installing individual cooling units in different rooms. Not to mention, with this smart upgrade on your property, there are high chances that it may attract luxury buyers in the future.
Con: Hefty Repair
One of the biggest drawbacks of installing a central air-conditioner system is its hefty maintenance and repair. Although the upkeep and maintenance are easier than a window or split AC, it costs you a substantial sum of money to get the system repaired by a professional.
Pro: Full Coverage
A central air conditioning system offers full coverage, and you can turn it off anytime you want. You do not need to install separate units in different rooms to keep them chilled. A single installation will cover your entire house, and it can be turned off manually in the areas you don’t need cooling.
Con: Price
In comparison with installing a window or split AC, the price of central AC system in Pakistan falls on the higher side. Also, the installation cost is decided as per the area of your house. However, you don’t need to install air filters or humidifiers separately because the air that passes down the ducts will be automatically filtered.
Pro: Long Lasting
In comparison with other cooling units such as room coolers, air coolers, and air conditioners, a central air conditioning system lasts longer. They do not need to be repaired every now and then, which clearly means that they’re quite easy to maintain and do not cost you a fortune every year.
Con: Humidity
As much as it is easy to keep the central air-conditioner maintained, you must also know that it isn’t a suitable choice in regions with high humidity. Central AC is prone to get broken in humidity, and their performance seems to be lesser than what you will expect from them.
Cost of Central Air-Conditioning System in Pakistan
Investing in a central cooling system in Pakistan offers a wide range of benefits. Not to mention the benefits it can bring to the current value of your property. We know for a fact that luxury buyers consider these amenities one the most important aspects before buying anything. So, if you are lucky enough to meet such an investor during property resale, it can bring many advantages and prove to be a worthy investment.
On the other hand, buying a central AC can quickly become a risky adventure if you haven’t paid much attention or completed your homework on the type of property buyers you will be dealing with when the time comes.
Now, let’s get to the cost of a central air-conditioner system in Pakistan. If you have made up your mind to install it, you should know that such air-conditioners are sold according to their weight and the area of your house. The average price of installing a central air-conditioner in Pakistan can lie between PKR 400,000 and PKR 450,000 for a 5 marla house with 3 rooms.
Note: The price mentioned above includes both labour cost and installation charges.
Final Verdict

At times, it can prove to be the best investment that can save homeowners from a lot of hassle. On the other hand, it can also burn a hole in your pocket, considering its cost, timely maintenance, and repair.
