Aircon Installation in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

In Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, get three quotes from certified installers, check reviews and refrigerant-handling credentials, and confirm the sizing and electrical scope in writing. The cheapest quote often skips the load calc or the dedicated circuit.

Expect a manufacturer warranty on the unit (often 5+ years on the compressor if registered) plus an installer's workmanship warranty on the labour and pipework. Poor installation is the main cause of early failures, so the labour warranty matters as much as the unit's.

Clean or replace filters regularly, and have the system serviced roughly annually — coil clean, gas-pressure check and drainage clear. Skipping maintenance cuts efficiency, breeds mould in the drain, and shortens compressor life. Ask about a service plan at install.

A back-to-back single split is often a half-day job; a multi-split takes one to two days; ducted installs run two to four days depending on the ductwork. Long pipe runs, wall chasing and crane access for outdoor units add time.

Not always. A new unit often needs a dedicated circuit and isolator, which may require a licensed electrician. Confirm whether the quote includes the electrical supply, or whether that's a separate cost you'll arrange yourself.

For most Canadian homes yes — a cold-climate heat pump both cools in summer and heats in shoulder seasons, and rebates offset the higher upfront cost. Cooling-only AC only makes sense where you already have efficient heating.
