How to hire a aircon servicing & repair pro in Canada
- Check provincial licensing — refrigeration/AC mechanics are certified trades in most provinces (e.g. 313A in Ontario, Red Seal)
- Verify the technician holds ODP/refrigerant-handling certification (Environment Canada requirement)
- Confirm liability insurance and WSIB/workers' comp coverage
- Ask whether the diagnostic fee is credited against the repair
- Get a written quote with parts, labour, and refrigerant itemized
- For heat pumps, confirm the tech is experienced with cold-climate models, not just AC
- Check reviews on Google and HomeStars
Refrigeration and air conditioning mechanics are a certified (often compulsory) trade in most Canadian provinces, and federal ozone-depleting-substances rules require certification to handle refrigerants. Many provinces also require TSSA-type registration for gas-connected HVAC work.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in a standard aircon service?
A standard service covers cleaning or replacing filters, cleaning the evaporator coil and blower, flushing the drainage tray and pipe, checking refrigerant pressure, testing thermostat and controls, and inspecting electrical connections. It does not include repairs, parts, or refrigerant top-ups — those are quoted separately.
Why is my electricity bill rising even though the aircon seems fine?
Dirty coils and filters make the compressor work harder for the same cooling — energy use can rise 15-30% before you notice weaker airflow. A failing capacitor or low refrigerant has the same effect. A service that restores the unit to spec usually pays for itself in a hot season.
How long does an aircon service take?
A standard clean-and-check takes 30-45 minutes per indoor unit. A chemical wash takes about an hour per unit, and a full chemical overhaul (where the unit is dismantled) takes 1.5-2 hours per unit. Multi-unit visits are faster per unit.
My aircon trips the circuit breaker — what does that mean?
A unit that trips the breaker at startup usually has a failing compressor, a shorted capacitor, or a wiring fault — all electrical faults that need a technician. Do not keep resetting the breaker; repeated tripping can damage the compressor beyond repair.
Is it worth signing an annual aircon maintenance contract?
If you run multiple units daily, yes — contracts usually price each visit 15-30% below one-off rates, include priority booking during heatwaves, and some include minor parts. For a single, lightly used unit, paying per visit is usually cheaper.
Are there rebates for heat pumps in Canada?
Yes — federal and provincial programs (e.g. Canada Greener Homes-successor programs, provincial utility rebates) offer meaningful rebates for replacing AC/furnace setups with cold-climate heat pumps. Amounts change by province and year, so ask the contractor which programs your equipment qualifies for and get it in writing.
When should I book AC service in Canada?
May-June, before the short cooling season peaks. Many homeowners bundle a spring AC tune-up with a fall furnace service; combined maintenance plans typically cost less than two separate visits.
