Question 1

Why is my air conditioner not blowing cold air near St. Catharines?

How many years do air conditioners last near St. Catharines?

Air conditioners last about 10 - 15 years. You may have one that is older and still blowing out cold air, but older ACs are not only a ticking time bomb but less energy efficient as well. The lowered efficiency translates to higher energy bills.

Question 7

How much does a ductless air conditioner cost in Canada?

Accepted Answer

Prices for ductless split systems and air conditioner units in Ontario and other Canadian provinces normally range from $3,900 to $5,000, but can reach $8,000 or more per unit, including installation. Depending on the brand and manufacturer, prices will vary.

Question 8

Do ductless air conditioners really work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they work very well. Essentially in a mini-split system, individual indoor units are positioned in each room or "zone". Instead of pushing and drawing air to a central indoor unit, each room will have its own fan and evaporator unit to meet its own cooling demands. Refrigerant lines link the fan and evaporator unit to an outside compressor unit. On its journey to the compressor, the air is cooled and then returned to the interior unit, which circulates it around the room. There are no ducts needed making it very convenient to install!

Question 9

Do ductless mini split AC systems use a lot of electricity?

Accepted Answer

Mini-split systems with no ducts are actually very energy-efficient. When compared to traditional room air conditioners such as window units and portable air conditioners, a ductless mini-split cooling system may save up to 30% on energy expenditures. This is due to their zoned cooling capabilities and ductless air distribution. Mini-split equipment saves energy by utilizing high-efficiency technologies.

Question 10

What are the advantages of ductless mini splits over traditional HVAC systems?

Accepted Answer

Ductless mini splits offer several advantages over traditional HVAC systems, including flexibility in installation since they don't require ductwork, resulting in a less invasive setup process. They provide improved energy efficiency by allowing for zoned cooling and heating, meaning you can control the temperature in individual rooms, leading to lower energy consumption and costs. Additionally, they offer a quieter operation and are generally easier and cheaper to install, especially in homes without existing ductwork, making them a versatile option for both new and retrofitted installations.
