Question 1

My AC running but not cooling the house?

Accepted Answer

Common causes include low refrigerant (often from a leak), a dirty air filter, a failing compressor, or blocked airflow at the outdoor condenser unit. Each of these has a different fix, so a proper diagnosis matters before replacing parts.

Question 2

What's the difference between a central AC and a ductless mini-split?

Accepted Answer

Central air conditioning cools a whole home through existing ductwork, while a ductless mini-split (sometimes called a heat pump when it also heats) cools individual rooms or zones without ducts - often used in additions, older homes without ductwork, or homes needing zone-specific control.

Question 3

How long does a central air conditioner last?

Accepted Answer

Most systems last 12-15 years with regular maintenance. Humidity and heavy summer use in the Niagara Region can shorten that if a system isn't serviced regularly.

Question 4

What does SEER rating mean?

Accepted Answer

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures an air conditioner's cooling efficiency over a season. Higher SEER ratings generally mean lower energy costs. Current Canadian minimum standards and higher-efficiency options are both available depending on your budget and home size.
