Cooling
Air conditioning and heat pumps
Cold-climate heat pumps sized for Edmonton winters, plus central AC tune-ups before the first hot week.
Heat pumps have come a long way. Today's cold-climate models keep heating efficiently well below minus 20, and they cool the house in summer too. We size and install them for Edmonton winters, usually paired with your gas furnace as backup for the coldest nights.
Sized for your house, not a rule of thumb
We do a room-by-room heat loss calculation before we recommend a unit. An oversized system short-cycles and wears out early. An undersized one can't keep up in January. Your written quote shows the model, the backup setup and the expected running cost.
Central air and tune-ups
If you only want cooling, we install central air that works with your current furnace. For existing systems, a spring tune-up before the first hot week cleans the coils, checks the refrigerant and catches problems before they shut you down.
Electrical work in the same project
Many heat pump installs need a new circuit or a bigger panel. Our electricians handle that as part of the job, and we'll point you to any rebate or financing programs available when you book.
Questions about this job
Will a heat pump work at minus 30?
Cold-climate models keep producing heat well below minus 20. Below that, your furnace takes over automatically, so you're never left without heat.
Can I keep my gas furnace?
Yes. Most of our Edmonton installs are dual-fuel: the heat pump does most of the work and the furnace is the backup.
When should I book an AC tune-up?
April or May, before the first hot week. Spring appointments are easier to get, and problems are cheaper to fix before the system is working hard.
