How CostInflation tracks air conditioner prices
CostInflation's Representative Price Index for air conditioner retail composite is our daily estimate of the typical shelf price shoppers are seeing, based on observed retail listings that are cleaned up and made comparable before they are averaged into one public number. We reduce the influence of unusual one-off prices so the index reflects the middle of the market, then combine component prices using the index's standard package sizes and weights. Charts can also show lower band, medium band and upper band.
