FAQ

Generally, HVAC systems will last 15 to 20 years. 

Older systems tend to be less energy-efficient and may require more frequent repairs. Newer systems are designed to be more energy-efficient, which can lead to cost savings on your energy bills.

Bigger is not always better but rather performance & efficiency.

Standardized metrics have proven wildly inaccurate.  We are committed to thorough analysis to determine the proper sized equipment tailored to you needs.  We use specialized equipment known as a blower door along with several other determinants.  A professionally conducted load calculation is the foundation of any effective system.

Enbridge Gas and the Canada’s Greener Homes Grant have partnered to provide rebates towards eligible home improvements. The new, combined Home Efficiency Rebate Plus program will help more Ontarians save energy at home.  Rebates up up to $10,000 are offered.  Ask us how to get started.

The Canada Greener Homes Loan offers interest-free financing to help Canadians make their homes more energy efficient and comfortable.

The loan can help you finance eligible retrofits that have not yet been started.

There are many heating and air conditioning systems to choose from today.

We draw on a vast degree of knowledge and experience to help you decide on the system that is best suited. The size and age of your home, as well as the number of rooms, climate, utility costs, and utility incentive/rebate programs are all factors.

Consumers seeking to replace an existing system often choose a new unit with equal or higher efficiency ratings compared to their previous system. Replacing a unit that is 10- to 15-years-old may reduce natural gas or electricity costs by 30 to 50%.

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat between two locations, typically used for heating or cooling spaces. Not unlike an traditional A/C, it consists of components such as the evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve. In heating mode, it extracts heat from the external environment and transfers it indoors, while in cooling mode, it removes heat from indoors and releases it outside. Heat pumps are energy-efficient and come with efficiency rebates making them a cost-effective and eco-logic choice.

Coefficient of Performance (COP) measures the efficiency of a heating or cooling system by comparing the useful output (heating or cooling) to the input energy. For heating, COP is often used, and for cooling, there’s a similar measure called the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). lower monthly utility bills and peak efficiency year-round.  The higher the values the more efficient.
