The cost to install an AC in Edmonton will depend on the unit you choose to purchase, as well as the unit you are replacing and the condition of your home and ductwork. The cost to purchase a unit and have it installed by a professional air conditioning services provider can be anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 or more.
Simple, low-end air conditioning units will cost less to install. If you would like a high-efficiency AC that is ultra-quiet, you can expect to pay more. It’s important to note, however, that energy-efficient models can help you save on utility bills.
It may look cheaper to purchase an AC on it’s own, however finding a handyman to install and maintain means higher costs and stress in the long run. Many companies do not install AC units not supplied by them (some manufacturer’s even require it!)
ProSolutions offers free home estimates, professional recommendations, expert installations, and dedicated yearly maintenance with our ProCooling memberships. All in one!
It is not cheaper to install AC in Edmonton in the winter, contrary to popular belief. While some ACs may be sold in the Winter, they cannot be fully installed and activated until the temperature reaches above +10° ! That means, a second visit is often needed once the weather clears up. Instead, consider saving your AC purchase until the Spring. Many companies, ProSolutions included, is gearing up for the Summer and looking forward to the early birds.
If you require air conditioner and furnace installation, having both replaced at the same time may also help you save money.

Does the size of AC unit effect performance? Yes!
If the unit is too large, the space gets too cool and humidity is not removed. You’ll feel cold and clammy. Plus the frequent cycling can wear out your AC Unit faster since the hardest load on your AC is when you start it up. You can also freeze up the AC unit if the air flow is too low and the unit can not be kept from freezing up. Freezing up of a central AC system is a recipe for disaster on the HVAC equipment.

If you’re facing a frozen AC coil, there are a few things you can try. Start by setting your thermostat to high and fan only mode for a few hours. If this doesn’t work, it could be a more significant issue, such as a refrigerant leak or a dirty coil. In such cases, it’s best to book a diagnostic with the Pros.

Although mini split ACs have numerous advantages, there are also several disadvantages of ductless air conditioners that homeowners must consider.
The main disadvantages of ductless air conditioning include:
Yes—you definitely should! Even though your furnace isn’t heating your home during the summer, your HVAC system still uses the same ductwork and blower when you run your central air conditioner. That means your furnace filter is still working hard to trap dust, pollen, pet hair, and smoke particles—especially during Edmonton’s dry, dusty summers or wildfire season.
In fact, summer can be one of the most important times to stay on top of filter changes if:
You use central AC
You have allergies
You experience poor outdoor air quality (like wildfire smoke)
You have pets that shed

AC units are a blessing in the dog days of summer in Alberta. However, when you are experiencing issues with your unit running the way they were built to run, this tends to create an uncomfortable situation for your household. Here are two things every homeowner should remember.
1. Always check to see if you need to shut the power off in dealing with any air conditioner issues.
2. Deal with a trusted and experienced professional, like ProSolutions, when buying a new air conditioner, or repairing an existing unit.

AC parts break down over time. However, an improperly maintained central air conditioning system will put pressure on every part of that system. A dirty filter that hasn’t been replaced, fans that are not cleaned, leaking refrigerant, exposed wires in the electrical box, ice build up on coils. These put pressure on the capacitors, sensors that track heat levels and thermostat readings and generally weaken the unit so it does not run efficiently and any part can break down.
With temperatures rising nationwide alongside our everchanging Albertan weather, we want to stay comfortable and cool while keeping our bills as low as possible—and the best way to do that is by making sure your air conditioning systems are working …
