Cooling FAQ

Questions We Hear Often

If your home has ductwork, central AC is the cleanest install ($4,500–$8,500). For homes without ducts (or for room-by-room control), ductless mini-splits are ideal ($3,200–$5,800 per zone). A heat pump does both heating and cooling and qualifies for up to $16,000 in CleanBC rebates — often the smartest long-term choice for Vancouver homes. We'll lay out all three options with full pricing on your free quote.
Yes — if it's properly sized. During the 2021 heat dome, undersized or older ACs failed across the region. We use ACCA Manual J to size every system to your home's actual heat load, including a 10% buffer for extreme-weather events. A correctly sized 1.5–2.5 ton system will hold 22°C indoors even at 40°C outside, and we prioritize maintenance-plan customers for emergency calls during heat waves.
Through the CleanBC Better Homes Energy Savings Program, homeowners replacing an AC or furnace with a heat pump qualify for up to $16,000 in rebates ($9,400 base + $5,000 income top-up + bonus offers). We handle pre- and post-energy assessments and all paperwork at no charge. Most rebate cheques arrive in 8–12 weeks after the post-installation assessment.
We perform a free ACCA Manual J calculation on every quote. It factors in your home's square footage, ceiling height, insulation, window area and orientation, sun exposure, number of occupants, and local climate data. Most 1,500–2,000 sq ft Vancouver homes need 1.5–2.5 tons of cooling. We never guess — undersized systems fail in heat waves, oversized ones short-cycle and dehumidify poorly.
A standard central AC swap (existing pad, electrical, ductwork) takes 4–6 hours. A new central AC install (with new electrical circuit and disconnect) is a full day. Ductless mini-split single-zone installs take 6–8 hours. Multi-zone ductless systems take 1–2 days. We protect floors, clean up daily, and demo the new system before we leave so you're cooling the same day.
Annually, ideally in May or early June before cooling season. Annual service keeps your manufacturer warranty valid, catches refrigerant leaks early, cleans condenser coils (which can cut efficiency by 20% when dirty), and ensures the system is ready for heat dome events. Our $199/year maintenance plan covers AC + furnace and includes priority booking during heat waves.
What Vancouver Says

Recent Cooling Reviews

"Booked central AC install in April, before the heat wave rush. They did Manual J sizing, installed a 2-ton Carrier in 6 hours, hauled away the old unit. Held 21°C during the August heat dome. Worth every penny."

"Ductless mini-split in our 2-bed condo — Mitsubishi single zone in the living room. They ran line sets through a closet, painted the conduit to match, and you can't even hear it running. Strata approved no problem."

"AC stopped cooling during the July heat wave — called at 7pm, tech was there by 7:25pm. Bad capacitor, had one in the van, $295 later we were cooling again. Honest, fast, no gouging. Signed up for the maintenance plan."
