Professional AC Replacement in Toronto

Is It Time for a New Air Conditioner?

If your AC is struggling to keep up, running constantly, or breaking down frequently, it might be time to consider replacement. While repairs can extend the life of an older system, there comes a point when a new installation makes more financial sense.

At Northfield Heating & Cooling, we've been installing air conditioning systems in Toronto homes for over 25 years. We take a consultative approach—helping you understand your options and choose the system that's right for your home and budget.

Signs You May Need a New AC

• Age – Most AC systems last 15-20 years. If yours is older, replacement may be more cost-effective than continued repairs.
• Rising energy bills – Older systems lose efficiency over time. A new high-efficiency unit can significantly reduce cooling costs.
• Frequent repairs – If you're calling for repairs every summer, those costs add up quickly.
• Uneven cooling – Hot spots and inconsistent temperatures often indicate an aging system.
• Refrigerant issues – Older systems use R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out and is very expensive.

Our Installation Process

A quality installation is just as important as the equipment itself. Improper installation can reduce efficiency, cause premature failure, and void warranties. Here's how we do it right:

1. Free in-home consultation – We assess your home's cooling needs, inspect existing ductwork, and discuss your priorities.
2. Load calculation – We perform proper sizing calculations to ensure your new system is neither too small nor too large.
3. Equipment selection – We present options at different price points and efficiency levels, explaining the pros and cons of each.
4. Professional installation – Our licensed technicians install your system according to manufacturer specifications and local codes.
5. System testing – We verify proper operation, refrigerant charge, and airflow before leaving.
6. Customer education – We show you how to operate your new system and answer any questions.

Choosing the Right System

We install all major brands and can help you choose based on your priorities—whether that's maximum efficiency, lowest upfront cost, or specific features like variable-speed operation or smart thermostat integration.

Energy Efficiency and Rebates

Today's air conditioners are significantly more efficient than models from even 10 years ago. High-efficiency systems can reduce cooling costs by 20-40%. We'll help you understand SEER ratings and may be able to assist with utility rebate applications.
