Should you rent or buy your air conditioner?
Making the decision to rent or buy your central air conditioning system is not always easy. Your choice will depend on many things, including the make and model you choose, your lifestyle, and your budget.
If you’re undecided, here are a few things to consider:
Buying your air conditioner
- Buying an air conditioner requires an upfront investment.
- Buying your AC may add value to your home.
- If you buy, you’ll be responsible for maintenance and repairs once your equipment warranty expires.
Renting you air conditioner
- Renting an air conditioner means you’ll pay for your system through a low, monthly rental fee.
- Your rental fee will also cover most repairs.
- Renting your AC may simplify your monthly budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This ratio is a way to measure the energy efficiency of an air conditioner. Most air conditioners have a SEER rating between 13-21. A higher number indicates a more energy-efficient unit, so this number is something to keep in mind if you’re looking to conserve energy and reduce your utility bills.
To help keep your air conditioner running efficiently and without interruption, we recommend having it serviced every year. Booking an annual AC inspection may help identify and rectify any small issues before they interrupt your comfort. Regular maintenance could help reduce your energy costs and prolong the life of your air conditioning unit.
Some local utilities offer rebates to encourage homeowners to invest in an energy-efficient air conditioner. Ask your Home Comfort Advisor whether there are rebates available in Oakville and which air conditioners may qualify.
