Which Air Conditioning System Is Right For You?
Just because you’re currently using one type of air conditioner in your home doesn’t mean that a different type of system could serve you better. When purchasing a new air conditioner for installation, it’s the perfect time to reassess which system is right for your home.
There are three styles of air conditioning systems available:
Central Air Conditioning
Central air conditioners are the most common type of cooling system and you may have one in your home right now. Central air conditioning works with your home’s ductwork and your furnace to cool, then distribute air throughout your home through vent registers. Central air conditioners consist of an outdoor condensing unit connected to indoor coil mounted in your furnace ducting. If your home has existing ductwork, central air conditioning is usually the best decision for you.
Ductless Air Conditioning
Ductless air conditioners do not need existing ductwork in the home to operate. They are installed with one exterior condensing unit and one or several interior units that are mounted on the wall or ceiling of each room. Ductless air conditioners allow homeowners to control the individual climate or each room they’re installed in, allowing for personal preferences to be met throughout the home. If your home does not have existing ductwork, or you wish to have room-to-room temperature control, a ductless air conditioner may be the right choice for you.
Ductless Heat Pumps
Ductless heat pumps are similar to ductless air conditioners, however, what makes them unique is their ability to both cool and heat your home from the same system. Ductless heat pumps are extremely efficient and will save you energy and money throughout the year as you use them. Now is the time to invest in a heat pump for your home! With the Canada Greener Homes Grant, you could be eligible for a rebate of up to $5,000 on cold climate heat pumps and up to $4,000 on air source heat pumps.

Signs That It’s Time For A New Air Conditioner
Before deciding on a new air conditioner installation, it’s important to first assess your current system and decide if it’s time for a new one or if your current system can handle another summer. There are several signs that your air conditioner will give you to let you know it’s on its last legs: you just need to know what to look for.
Signs that it may be time to replace your air conditioner include:
- Your air conditioner is over 15 years of age
- Your air conditioner is requiring constant repair and maintenance
- You’ve noticed an increase in your energy bills and overall power consumption
- You’ve noticed that your air conditioner isn’t as powerful as it once was
- You’ve noticed ineffective or uneven cooling throughout your home
- Your air conditioner is producing strange and unusual noises and/or smells
Determining The Right Air Conditioner Size For Your Home
When choosing their new air conditioner for installation, it’s a common misconception that the biggest air conditioner is the best. In reality, the best air conditioner is the air conditioner that meets your needs and budget while being the appropriate size for your home. This is how to find the right size air conditioner.
Recommended AC Size
There are several factors that impact the right sized air conditioner for your home including your home’s square footage, the age of your home, the quality of your home’s insulation, as well as the number of windows and doors you may have. At Delta, our expert technicians will take all of this into consideration when working to determine the right air conditioner size for your home.
Air Conditioner Size & Performance
While it can be tempting to purchase an air conditioner with the largest capacity possible, it can be the wrong choice for your home. Although it may cool your home quicker, a wrongly-sized air conditioner can come with a slew of performance issues including:
- Short cycling (turning on and off without reason) causes energy and financial loss
- Decreased home comfort, overpowering leading to warm spots and uneven cooling
- Increased humidity because a large system can’t run long enough to adequately remove excess humidity from the air
Air Conditioner Financing
While an air conditioner is a purchase that will significantly improve your home comfort during the summer months, it’s no secret that purchasing a new air conditioner for installation can be costly, leaving many homeowners to put off purchasing a new one for longer than they should. If you’re interested in purchasing an air conditioner and do not wish to buy it outright, we offer the choice to Finance it.
We’re proud to be partnered with Financeit to provide our customers with a simple and affordable way to finance their new air conditioner in a way that works with their budget. With fair and flexible rates, amortization periods of up to 24 months, and standard interest rates starting at 8.99%, Financeit will help you find the right pricing for your budget.
