Choosing the right air conditioner in Stoney Creek
It can be difficult to know which air conditioner is the best fit for your home, your lifestyle, and your budget.
At Reliance, we offer a free in-home consultation so that your Home Comfort Advisor can get to know your home comfort needs and help you choose your AC with confidence.
Here are a few things we’ll consider:
The size of your home
The size of your home plays an important role in determining which air conditioning unit is the right size and has the right amount of power to get the job done.
When you choose Reliance, we will conduct a complete, detailed analysis of your home’s cooling requirements, ensuring that you have the optimal system.
The amount and type of insulation in your home
Insulation does more than just keep your home cozy during the winter. Even your windows can play a role in determining which AC is the best fit.
Energy efficiency
If conserving energy is a priority, we’ll help you identify ENERGY STAR® certified air conditioners with high SEER ratings.

When looking for an energy efficient air conditioner, choose a model that is ENERGY STAR® certified and that has a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). If you’re still not sure, ask your Home Comfort Advisor for guidance!
Most air conditioners have a SEER rating between 13 and 21. A higher number indicates a more energy efficient unit, which could help lower your utility bills.
Ask your Home Comfort Advisor! They may be able to tell you whether the local utility offers homeowners in Stoney Creek rebates to reduce the cost of owning or renting an energy efficient AC.
