Calgary Air Conditioning Installation

Beat the Heat With A New Air Conditioning System Install

Getting the most out of summer can sometimes mean getting relief from the heat. Even though Calgary’s winters are more notorious than its summers, we still deal with some soaring temperatures that only an air conditioner can combat.

You might be thinking of getting a portable air conditioner for your Calgary home, but those units are large and clunky, taking up a large portion of whatever room they’re in. Plus, they only cool down the room they’re set up in, not your whole house. Portable air conditioners just won’t cut it for a family home. For true relief from the sweltering heat, central air conditioners are the way to go.

Let Knight come up with the right air conditioning system for your southern Alberta home. You can expect excellent customer service, expert AC installation and maintenance, and professionals who take pride in helping make your living space the most comfortable it can be!

 I Need to Install a New Air Conditioner?

You may be wondering if you should continue to repair your air conditioning unit or install a new one. Here are a few telltale signs it is time for a replacement:

• Old Air Conditioner - If your air conditioner is 15-20 years old, you are due for replacement. Knight can give you honest recommendations for newer models that are more energy efficient and function better.
• Old SEER Ratings - Check your Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which measures maximum efficiency. Older AC models often have low average SEER ratings of 8 or 9. Modern AC units, on the other hand, have SEER ratings that range from 13-25. Knight can help you find the right AC unit for your size home—and budget.
• Too Many AC Repairs - How many air conditioner repairs are you dealing with? Owning an AC that always needs service is not only frustrating, but it also can be quite expensive.
• Poor Home Comfort - If your cooling system just isn’t keeping your home cool and comfortable anymore, it’s time to investigate an upgrade.

How to Get the Right Central Air Conditioning System for Your Home

Here are some key factors to consider when choosing a system:

1. Your home’s square footage should be matched to the system. It might sound like a good idea to get the most powerful system around, or to save and get a small one. A system that is too small won’t cool your home. A system that is too big will be working inefficiently all the time, costing you more in energy bills. It will also leave a lot of humidity in your house, potentially leading to mould or other damage. You have to get the right size for your home. To find out what you need, you can try the sizing chart here.
2. The SEER rating. SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency rating. The higher the SEER number, the more energy efficient it is – Knight recommends that you go no lower than 13 (they currently go up to 24.5).
3. Is it Energy Star rated? Energy Star systems work more efficiently and will save you money on electricity.
4. What are your noise requirements? The condensing unit of a central air conditioning system sits outside your home, but some units can be heard through the ductwork. If quiet operation is important to you, make sure your Knight technician is aware of this.
5. Do you need different cooling zones in your home? The rooms of your home that are south-facing will require more work to cool than north facing ones. Having multiple thermostats that can control different temperature zones will make for a uniform temperature throughout your home.
6. Budgeting. For many of us, the cost of a new AC is important, and may be more important than energy efficiency.
