Families and individuals who are looking for air conditioning in Toronto and surrounding areas will need to find an appropriate technician when problems arise.  We understand that you are inviting someone into your home.  And you expect cleanliness, courtesy and professionalism as well as competence in your service providers. Naturally, we think we fit the bill perfectly – but we hope that these guidelines will help you find a local and competent air conditioning technician no matter where you reside.

Licensing:

Air conditioning in Toronto is regulated and any AC technician should have a license. A license shows that the technician knows how to safely handle the refrigerant in case of leaks and other problems that might arise.

A company that requires all technicians receive a license is an ideal choice.  Multiple licenses that cross fields into gas lines and duct work are also common among air conditioning tradesmen and women.

Service Record:

Technicians who work for a well-established company and has several years of air conditioning in Toronto experience – is the ideal choice. A company that has served the community for several years will understand the GTA climates and have developed solid relationships with their own technicians, ultimately resulting in excellent customer service for you.

Another benefit of a long-established company is that the more experienced technicians are able to help those who are new to the company. New technicians receive better training when the company has several years of experience in air conditioning repair and installation.

Written Documentation:

Good technicians providing services for air conditioning in Toronto will always provide written documentation showing every detail of the work performed. Everything from the load calculations performed for installing an AC unit to the dates that the work is complete should have written documentation.

Insurance:

The best companies for air conditioning work will always have appropriate insurance coverage to protect employees and homeowners. The insurances should include a minimum of liability in case property damage or accidental injuries to the homeowner occurs. It should also have measures to protect the technician in case injuries occur.

Reputation & Referrals:

As with most other services, the best way to find a technician is to ask friends for referrals.  Also check the company’s testimonials and see if references are provided.  Do your homework and call or read the references provided.  The extra 30 minutes can provide valuable insight and be the foundation of a long relationship with your service provider.

A professional technician is well worth the investment

Well working air conditioning in Toronto during the hot summer months makes life much more comfortable!  Make sure your air conditioning unit stays up to the task all summer long, make sure to follow these simple tips. These simple guidelines can save you major hassle over having to replace a broken or worn down unit.

1. Schedule your air conditioning maintenance.  Have it checked by a professional technician annually. Regular maintenance – actual checkups for your AC unit, will ensure problems are caught early and prevent future damage from occurring. Our technicians service homes with air conditioning in Toronto and the surrounding areas.

2. Invest in a digital thermostat for the unit. These are the most precise thermostats available and will allow you to accurately gauge the temperature in your home. In this manner, you keep track of the temperature, not going higher or lower than you intend to.

3. Ensure you have proper insulation for your air conditioning.  Toronto winters make the insulation just as necessary as the summer. Proper insulation is a key element for any cooling and heating system. A professional can let you know if your current insulation situation needs correcting.

4. A big factor in energy consumption is the size of your air conditioning. Toronto and Ontario governments often offer rebates for new and more energy efficient models.  Going too big or too small will result in misused energy, which can ultimately cause higher costs than necessary or wear out your unit.

5. Ensure the air ducts are sized correctly, a similar theme to getting the right size unit. You want the sizing overall to be just right, so the air is generated and concentrated in a way best fitted to cooling your home.

6. Clean filters according to the specifications of your model. Filters left too long without a cleaning can stop up the cool air from being released.  During the annual maintenance, the condenser is checked and cleaned as well as indoor evaporator coils.

7. Replace worn out filters entirely. New filters are available from a number of retailers.  Or give us a call (remember we care for air conditioning all over the Greater Toronto Area) and we’ll deliver and install it for you.

8. Make sure your doors and windows are also sealed properly. Even if the AC unit itself is well fitted, the cool air can escape if windows and doors aren’t sealed, making your AC work overtime to cool down the home.

9. If the unit is outdoors partially, keep it clear of dirt and debris like twigs or leaves.

10. If possible, keep outdoor air conditioner units well shaded, either by planting trees or building some sort of covering. This can reduce cooling costs in the long run.
