AC Installation

New or replacement cooling, sized from a real load calculation so it actually cools and doesn't short-cycle. Ductless or central — and we'll show you the heat-pump option (cooling and heating, with rebates) too.

AC Service & Tune-Ups

An annual tune-up keeps cooling strong, efficiency up and breakdowns down — coil cleaning, refrigerant check, electrical and airflow. See the care plan.

AC not cooling?

Common air conditioning problems we fix.

Most "my AC stopped working" calls come down to a handful of culprits. A couple you can check yourself; the rest we'll sort fast.

✓

Blowing warm air — low refrigerant, a dirty coil, or a tripped breaker

✓

Iced-up or frozen unit — restricted airflow or a refrigerant issue

✓

Water leaking indoors — a clogged condensate drain

✓

Weak airflow — a dirty filter, blower fault, or duct problem

✓

Strange noises or smells — failing motor, loose part, or mould in the system

✓

Won't turn on or short-cycles — thermostat, capacitor, or electrical fault

Whatever it is, you get an honest diagnosis and an upfront price before we touch a tool — no surprise bills. Same-day and emergency AC repair is available across the island in peak summer.

AC-only vs. heat pump: the 60-second version.

An air conditioner and a heat pump are mechanically the same machine — a heat pump just runs in both directions. That has a money consequence most quotes skip: AC-only earns no rebates; heat pumps can earn up to $16,000 for qualifying households. If your heating comes from gas, oil, or baseboards, the heat pump option often costs less after rebates than the air conditioner alone, while also cutting your winter bills.

When does AC-only make sense? Newer high-efficiency gas systems you're keeping, certain strata constraints, or pure budget timing — and when it does, we'll say so and install a quality unit, right-sized from a real load calculation (an oversized AC short-cycles and dehumidifies poorly — the island's cheap-quote special).

AC repair & cooling questions, answered.

Why is my AC not cooling?

The usual culprits are low refrigerant, a dirty or frozen coil, a clogged filter, or a tripped breaker. We diagnose all makes of central and ductless air conditioning and give you an upfront repair price before any work starts.

How much does AC repair cost in Victoria?

It starts with a flat diagnostic fee, then we quote the exact repair upfront before we proceed — no surprise bills. Simple fixes are inexpensive, and we'll always tell you honestly when replacement is the smarter spend.

Do you offer same-day or emergency AC repair?

In peak summer we offer same-day and emergency AC repair across Victoria, the Cowichan Valley and Nanaimo whenever the schedule allows. Call 250-510-8888 and we'll get to you as fast as we can.

Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

Repair a newer unit with an isolated fault. Lean toward replacement when the system is 12–15+ years old, needs frequent repairs, or a single repair approaches a large share of a new system. We'll give you both numbers and let you decide.

Should I get air conditioning or a heat pump?

If you need cooling, a heat pump is almost always the better buy on the island: it's an air conditioner that also heats, it can carry rebates (AC-only can't), and it replaces your heating bills instead of adding to them. We'll show you both prices and let the math decide.

How fast can you install before a heat wave?

Book early. Every June the island remembers it owns no air conditioning at the same time. Spring and early-summer bookings get the calm schedule and the best pricing.
