Aircon Servicing & Repair in Sherbrooke

Get 2-3 quotes and compare what each service actually includes — some cheap quotes cover only a filter rinse. Check for the refrigerant-handling certification required in your country, ask how long they have serviced your brand and type of system, and read recent reviews that mention follow-up visits, not just the first appointment.

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.

Check the simple things first: thermostat mode and setpoint, dirty filters, and blocked outdoor unit airflow. If those are fine, the usual culprits are low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor or fan motor, or a dirty coil. Low refrigerant always means a leak — a technician should find and fix the leak, not just top up the gas.

The most common cause is a clogged condensate drain line — dirt and algae block the pipe and water backs up into the room. Other causes are a dirty evaporator coil that ices over and then melts, a cracked drain pan, or an incorrectly sloped drain pipe. A drain flush during a standard service usually fixes it.

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.

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.
