1. Central air is based on tons per sq ft, for starters. It also depends on other variables, such as, is this situated within a community, like a condo or a townhouse? If you have neighbors on your sides, then the central unit can be smaller. So there's a lot of variables to consider. You would want to get a professional to give you a quote. However, for you to get a rough idea, here in Phoenix, Arizona, a 1700 sq ft house needs about 3.5 tons and a cheap estimate was $4,000. I should add, this was for a replacement unit -- all the ductwork was already available. If you have NO ductwork, you're price is gonna go up. You need to have a professional look at it before you commit to anything.
2. Hmm, rough guesses are not the way to go. Your best and most logical action to take would be to get free estimates from local AC/HVAC contractors in your area who could provide you information on the best, most efficient AC systems available in your area and install the one you desire. So, call some AC/HVAC contractors in Long Island. For your convenience, here is a handyman site that I have come to use, which has a section dedicated to air conditioning, where you'll find a text-link ad that offers up to four (4) Free estimates from such local contractors in your area (scroll down a bit and it's the text-link towards the middle of the page): http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Home_Improvement_Zone_Cooling_Ventilation_Systems_Central_Air_Conditioning.htm Click on the "A/C Contractors" text link. Don't rely on guesses on here; guessing on here is not as productive as getting a quote upon which you can rely, and since the cost of material and labor greatly varies by location. Trust me, from experience, you'll be glad that you got concrete estimates.
