Choosing the Right Air Conditioner​

When shopping for a new air conditioner, it’s important to understand your options and how proper servicing can enhance performance. Consider the following types:

  • Central Air Conditioners:
    Still popular in North American homes, though we see this trend moving over to exclusively heatpumps in the next 5 years.
  • Ductless Air Conditioners:
    Ideal for homes without existing ductwork, these systems provide targeted cooling without the need for extensive infrastructure.

Cost Considerations

Purchase Costs
A standard central air conditioning system typically costs between $3,500 and $8,000, depending on the type and size.

Operating Costs
The monthly cost to run a central air conditioning unit in Ontario usually ranges from $50 to $150, influenced by factors like unit efficiency, size, temperature settings, and usage patterns.

Best Time to Buy
Surprisingly, the winter months are the best time to purchase an air conditioner in Ottawa. Retailers often offer discounts to clear out older inventory before new models arrive.

Heat Pump or Air Conditioning: Choosing the Right System for Ontario Homes

Ontario homeowners can heat their homes with either a traditional gas furnace or a modern heat pump, and each option has clear advantages. Furnaces create heat by burning natural gas and are known for powerful, reliable performance in extreme cold. Heat pumps move heat instead of generating it, providing both heating in winter and cooling in summer from one system, with much higher energy efficiency.

Key Differences to Consider

  • Heat pumps can operate at 300–500% efficiency and reduce electricity use

  • Furnaces deliver strong heat output during the coldest Ontario temperatures

  • Heat pumps provide year-round heating and air conditioning in one unit

  • Gas furnaces usually cost less to install but have higher fuel expenses

  • Heat pumps may qualify for Ontario rebates and lower carbon emissions

The right choice depends on your home’s insulation, existing ductwork, and comfort goals. Many Ontario households benefit from a hybrid setup that combines a heat pump with a furnace for backup during extreme cold, offering the efficiency of electric heating with the reliability of gas when it’s needed most.

Climate Works offers round-the-clock emergency furnace repair in Ottawa and Toronto. If your system fails during a cold snap or heat wave, we’ll dispatch a certified technician to restore service — day or night, weekend or holiday. 

It’s a system that replaces the furnace with an air handler, blower fan, and evaporator coil to move heat rather than generate it. A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one location to another using electricity and a refrigerant, functioning like an air conditioner in summer and a heater in winter. It efficiently moves heat rather than generating it, making it an energy-saving alternative to traditional furnaces or AC units.
Heat pumps are designed to operate in winter, but very low temperatures, icing on the outdoor unit, refrigerant issues, or electrical faults can reduce performance or cause a shutdown. Climate Works technicians can quickly diagnose whether the problem is related to airflow, defrost mode, wiring, or a component failure and restore safe heating the same day.
Climate Works offers 24/7 emergency service across Ottawa and Toronto with fully equipped vehicles and licensed HVAC technicians. In most cases we can dispatch a technician within hours to assess the system, explain repair options, and get your heating or cooling running again as quickly as possible.
