FAQs
What types of air-conditioning systems do you install for Thorn Hill homes and businesses?
We install and service a full range of cooling solutions, including high-efficiency central air conditioners, ductless mini-split systems, dual-fuel heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling, rooftop packaged units for commercial sites, and geothermal systems for clients seeking the lowest operating costs. Our comfort consultants start with an on-site evaluation to recommend the best system for Thorn Hill’s hot, humid summers and cold winters, factoring in your building size, insulation level, existing ductwork, and budget.
How do I know what size or capacity air conditioner I need?
Sizing an air conditioner is more complex than matching square footage to a tonnage chart. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation that measures your home’s orientation, insulation values, window types, air infiltration, and occupancy levels. An undersized unit will struggle on 30 °C summer afternoons, while an oversized unit will short-cycle, waste energy, and leave humidity in the air. A proper load calculation ensures balanced comfort, maximum efficiency, and longer equipment life for Thorn Hill’s climate.
How often should my air conditioner be serviced, and what’s included in a tune-up?
We recommend one preventive maintenance visit each spring—ideally before temperatures climb into the mid-20s—to keep your warranty valid and your system running at peak efficiency. Our 21-point tune-up includes cleaning the outdoor coil, testing refrigerant charge, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, checking airflow and temperature split, replacing or washing the filter, and calibrating the thermostat. Regular maintenance can cut energy use by up to 15 % and reduce the risk of summer breakdowns.
Are high-efficiency or ENERGY STAR® air conditioners worth the investment in Thorn Hill?
Yes. Thorn Hill’s cooling season lasts roughly May through September, and electricity rates in Ontario continue to rise. Upgrading from a 10 SEER unit to a 16–18 SEER model can trim cooling bills by 30–40 %. Many high-efficiency systems also include variable-speed compressors that remove more humidity, improving comfort at lower temperatures. In addition, homeowners may qualify for manufacturer rebates, utility incentives, and the Canada Greener Homes Grant, which can offset a significant portion of the upfront cost.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency air-conditioning repair in Thorn Hill, and how quickly can you arrive?
Absolutely. Our dispatch centre is staffed around the clock, including weekends and holidays. Because our service hub is on Leslie Street near the 407, most Thorn Hill addresses are within a 30-minute drive. A certified technician arrives with a fully stocked van to diagnose and repair common issues—faulty capacitors, refrigerant leaks, frozen coils, blower motor failures—on the first visit whenever possible. Overtime and parts pricing are quoted upfront so there are no surprises.
What financing options, rebates, and warranties are available for new installations?
We partner with several lenders to offer low-interest financing and no-payment plans for up to 12 months, subject to credit approval. Our team files all paperwork for manufacturer rebates (often $250–$1,200) and utility programs such as Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebates. Most of our featured brands include a 10-year parts warranty and a 10-to-12-year compressor warranty; we add a one-year labour guarantee, which can be extended to 10 years with our Protection Plan. These options make upgrading your comfort system in Thorn Hill affordable and worry-free.
