What size AC do I need?

Sizing depends on a Manual J load calculation — square footage alone is misleading. We measure properly so the system runs efficient cycles instead of short-cycling.

How long does a typical AC install take?

Most residential installs are completed in a single day. Larger or retrofit projects with electrical or duct upgrades may extend to two days.

Is a heat pump cheaper to run than central AC + furnace?

In our climate, heat pumps usually beat AC + electric heat outright, and beat AC + gas furnace at most temperatures. We model the actual numbers using your local utility rates.

Customer feedback

Cooling reviews

Real comments from cooling customers across the Ottawa Valley.

Sized our central AC properly — short answer, the previous installer had it 1.5 tons too big. New unit cycles correctly and the house actually feels comfortable.

Tom B.AC Replacement, Arnprior

Mini-split install in our addition was clean — line set hidden, exterior pad level, indoor head perfectly balanced. Quiet and efficient.

Lisa W.Ductless Mini-Split, Pembroke

Quote was fair, install was on schedule, and they spent time making sure I understood the new system. Couldn't ask for more.
