Choosing the right Air Conditioning System in Ottawa

When considering a new AC system for your home it is important to remember that not all air conditioners are created equal. No matter how big or small your space, there’s an air conditioning system that’s just right for you. Choosing the right AC will make it run more efficiently, keep you cool for longer and keep your budget in check.

Before you choose an AC unit, here are some important things to consider:

House Size and Location:
What direction is the house facing? The size of the space and the amount of sun you receive during the day are key when determining the unit size and power.

Insulation:
The insulation make-up of your home’s walls, ceilings, and windows will influence the size and power of the AC unit that you will need.

Energy Efficiency:
The best way to measure the energy efficiency of your Ottawa AC system is to check its seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). The higher the SEER rating, the more energy you could save and the lower your operating costs could be.

There are many things to consider before buying (or renting) the right air conditioning system for your Ottawa home, and we are here to help you choose the best option.

Looking for a Heat Pump in Ottawa?

An electric heat pump is an air conditioner with the bonus that it can run in reverse and bring heat into your home on those cold spring and winter days, saving you from having to turn your furnace on until it’s frigid outside. It’s also an excellent choice for the environment and could help you reduce your carbon footprint! Be sure to check your local area for Government Rebates.

Need a new furnace air conditioner or hot water heater but not sure whether to rent or buy?
Regardless of your equipment needs, it’s important to know what’s right for you. Here’s what you need
to know to get started. A rental unit is a great option for a lot of homeowners as it gives peace
of mind. The repairs are always covered. Lifetime repairs and maintenance are included with your
rental so you’ll never be surprised with an unexpected repair bill. As a rental customer,
you’ll also have 24/7, 365 live telephone support and direct access to technicians
that know your equipment and have all the parts on hand to service it fast so
you never have to worry about being without heating, cooling or hot water. With rental,
you’ll also get the convenience of one low monthly payment that is easy to budget for.
Even with our most efficient units, there are no upfront equipment costs and you can take advantage
of any available government rebates. Plus, when you rent your heating or cooling system,
your annual maintenance is fully covered. That even includes the maintenance of your humidifier
and upgraded filters for optimal airflow. Buying is another great option. Buying your equipment
allows you to take advantage of special promotions or competitive financing rates so you can still
find the right equipment that fits your budget. Plus when you purchase your equipment, you’ll
still have access to Reliance’s large network of professionally trained technicians. We also
include standard parts and labour warranties on all of our equipment so that you will be covered
in the event of a faulty part or breakdown. You’ll also have the ability to keep your heating and
cooling equipment running efficiently by adding a Protection Plan to your purchase that includes
annual maintenance and allows you to avoid most unexpected repair costs. At the end of the day,
the best option is whatever suits the needs of you and your family. If you’re renting,
your unexpected repairs and annual maintenance for your furnace and AC are covered. With buying,
you’ll own your equipment and you’ll always have the option to cover repair and maintenance
costs with a Protection Plan after your warranty period. Whichever you choose,
you can Call on Reliance™ and schedule a time with our trusted Home Comfort Advisors. Our
Advisors will take the time to assess your needs and help you make the right decision.
