Age: If your AC unit is more than 10-15 years old, it's approaching the end of its lifespan and may not be as energy-efficient as newer models.
Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself calling for repairs year after year, it could be more cost-effective to invest in a new, reliable system.
Reduced Cooling Performance: If your AC can't maintain a comfortable temperature or if some rooms are significantly hotter than others, it's a sign that your system is struggling.
Increasing Energy Bills: Older air conditioners tend to be less energy-efficient, resulting in higher monthly utility bills. Upgrading to a newer model can lead to energy savings.
Strange Noises and Odors: Unusual sounds or unpleasant odors coming from your AC unit indicate underlying issues that may warrant replacement.
Environmental Considerations: If you're concerned about reducing your carbon footprint and want a more eco-friendly cooling solution, modern AC units are designed to be more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient.

A lasting installation starts before any equipment arrives. Our technicians begin with a cooling-load calculation that measures your home's square footage, insulation, window exposure, and layout so we recommend the correct tonnage. An oversized system short-cycles and wastes energy, while an undersized one runs constantly and never keeps up, so right-sizing is the single most important step of the job.
Once the load is set, we match a system to your efficiency goals and budget. Higher SEER2 ratings and inverter-driven compressors modulate their output to hold a steadier temperature and lower running costs across a Metro Vancouver summer. Every installation covers the full scope of work:
We walk you through the new thermostat and answer your questions before the job is closed out. If your current system is still worth keeping, we also offer air conditioning repair, so you only replace when it truly makes sense.
The best system for your home depends on whether you already have ductwork and how you want to cool different rooms. Central air uses your existing furnace ducts to cool the whole house from one outdoor condenser. If your home already has forced-air heating, central AC is usually the most cost-effective way to cool every room evenly from a single thermostat.
A ductless system, also called a mini-split, mounts one or more indoor heads on the wall and connects them to an outdoor unit with a slim line-set. Because there is no ductwork to install, ductless suits older Burnaby and Vancouver character homes, additions, finished basements, and condos where running ducts is impractical. Multi-zone setups let you set different temperatures in each room, which works well for households that only cool the spaces they use.
Ductless systems also avoid the energy lost through leaky or uninsulated ducts, so they often run more efficiently in the right home. If your house lacks ducts or you want room-by-room control, explore our ductless cooling options. During your in-home assessment we compare both approaches against your layout and budget so the choice is clear before any work begins.
An air conditioner only cools. A heat pump uses the same refrigerant cycle to cool in summer and reverses in winter to heat your home, so one system covers comfort all year. In Metro Vancouver's mild, wet climate, that year-round ability makes a heat pump a strong fit for most homes.
Today's cold-climate heat pumps hold their heating capacity well into the low temperatures we see across Burnaby, Coquitlam, and the North Shore, and they pair with your existing furnace as a backup on the coldest days. Because a heat pump replaces electric or gas heating as well as cooling, it can lower your overall energy use compared with running a separate AC and furnace.
Heat pumps also unlock rebate money that a cooling-only air conditioner does not qualify for. If you want efficient heating and cooling from one unit, read more about heat pump installation, and check current programs on our BC heat pump rebates page before you decide. Our team helps you weigh upfront cost, operating savings, and rebate eligibility so the numbers guide the choice.
There is no single price for a new air conditioner because several factors shape the final number. The biggest drivers are the size and tonnage your home needs, the efficiency tier you choose, and how much work the install involves. A straightforward replacement that reuses existing ductwork and electrical costs less than a first-time install that adds a line-set, a new pad, and an electrical upgrade.
Efficiency is the other lever. A base 14 SEER2 system carries a lower upfront price, while a high-efficiency inverter unit in the 18 to 20-plus SEER2 range costs more to install but cuts your monthly running costs and may qualify for rebates. Typical installed pricing ranges (VERIFY current amounts at publish) vary with all of these factors, so a quote based on your actual home is the only accurate figure.
Rather than quote a guess, we provide a free written quote after assessing your home, ductwork, and electrical panel. You see the equipment, the scope, and any rebate savings in writing before you commit.
