Frequently Asked Questions

• How can I bring my monthly AC expenses down?

• What are different types of A/C systems?

  Central air conditioners are ducted HVAC units that draw out heat from your residence. There are also heat pump air conditioners, which extract heat with a reversible flow of coolant, as well as ductless mini- split AC units.

• What size AC system do I need?

  The right sized AC system depends upon the size of your house, the local environment and many other variables. You need to properly size the AC unit to ensure optimal energy performance.

• What are BTUs in air conditioning?

  British thermal units are a type of measurement used in air conditioning to illustrate how much energy your AC unit needs to absorb heat. If it provinces 10,000 BTUs, the system is capable of absorbing that much heat each hour.

• Is it required to service AC every year?

  Routine maintenance is extremely beneficial for your air conditioner. While it’s not necessarily required, it’s an exceptional investment in the energy effectiveness and overall performance of your HVAC system. In most scenarios, having regular maintenance and upkeep also keeps the manufacturer’s warranty valid.

• What is ductless air conditioning?

  Ductless air conditioning does not use air ducts to transfer cold air through a home. Instead, indoor air units blow the conditioned air directly into the room or space they’re installed in.

• What is SEER in air conditioning?

  SEER means Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, which gauges how efficiently your air conditioning is cooling over its busiest season. It’s a ratio of the cooling output of an air conditioner or heat pump divided by the energy it uses. As of 2023, SEER2 is the new standard due to updated efficiency regulations.

• Do I need an air conditioner or heat pump in my house?

  Heat pumps are extremely energy efficient, but might begin to lose performance in seriously cold weather conditions. Check out our guide for identifying if a heat pump or air conditioner is right for cooling your home.

• How much does AC service cost?

  The cost of air conditioning services depends on the make and model, the seriousness of the trouble and other factors. For various common repairs, you might expect to pay a couple hundred for parts and labour.

• What is a Diagnostic Fee?

  A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a common charge used by HVAC companies when a technician is called out to your home to diagnose the issue plaguing your heating or cooling system. A diagnostic fee covers the technician’s time, expertise and travel expenses associated with determining the underlying cause of the problem. It’s in essence a service fee for the technician’s professional inspection to find what went wrong.

  Think of it like a visit to the doctor’s office. They need to do some preliminary tests or an examination to learn more about what’s wrong before suggesting treatment. Similarly, the technician we send needs to inspect your HVAC equipment to decide on the best repair or maintenance steps.
