Adding AC to a furnace
If your home has a furnace and ducts, an AC coil can be added above the furnace and paired with an outdoor unit.
Heat pump instead
A heat pump installed in the same way gives you cooling plus efficient heating, which is why many homeowners choose it over a straight AC.
No ducts?
Homes with baseboard or hot water heat can use ductless mini-splits for cooling without major renovation.
Sizing
Oversized systems cool too quickly and shut off, leaving rooms clammy. A proper calculation looks at windows, insulation and shade.
Upstairs heat
Upper floors and rooms under the roof get hottest. Ductwork and returns upstairs need to be adequate.
Repairs
Common AC problems include capacitors, contactors, refrigerant leaks and clogged condensate drains.
Filters and smoke
In smoky summers, a good filter in the system helps clean indoor air while cooling.
Placement
Outdoor units need a level pad, airflow around them and distance from bedroom windows.
Bylaws
Some neighbourhoods and strata corporations have rules about outdoor units. Check before you buy.
Get help
Tell the technician what system you have now. Send a request and an HVAC contractor will get in touch.
Maintenance
A yearly spring check keeps cooling efficient and catches problems before the first heat wave.
Condensate
AC coils make water that drains through a line, often into a floor drain or pump. A clogged line can leak into the basement.
Refrigerant
New systems use newer refrigerants. Leaks should be found and fixed, not just topped up.
