Types of air conditioning systems available
Before proceeding with the installation, you must choose the type of air conditioning unit that meets your needs. Here are the main air conditioning systems on the Quebec market.
How do you choose the right air conditioning unit?
Choosing the right air conditioner depends on several factors specific to your home:
The unit's capacity is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units). A precise calculation based on square footage, insulation, and sun exposure determines the required power. An undersized unit will run continuously without reaching the desired temperature; an oversized unit will create uncomfortable humidity fluctuations.
If your home already has ductwork (for a forced-air furnace), central air conditioning is often the most economical choice. Without ducts, a wall-mounted or multi-zone system is preferable.
Modern indoor units (Gree, Goodman, Comfort Aire) operate at less than 25 dB—quieter than a library. The noise level of the outdoor unit should also be considered depending on its placement on the building's facade.
The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating indicates the unit's efficiency. The higher the rating, the less electricity the unit consumes. Energy Star certified models offer a minimum SEER of 15, which translates into measurable energy savings on your Hydro-Québec bill.

How much does it cost to install an air conditioner?
The cost of installing an air conditioning system varies depending on the type of unit, the complexity of the work, and your home's configuration. Here is a price range for residential installations in Quebec:
These prices are for reference only. The average cost of an installation varies based on the BTU capacity, the brand (Gree, Goodman, Comfort Aire, DirectAir, Maxiair), and any additional work required (wall bracket, refrigerant line extension, dedicated electrical circuit).
Grants available for air conditioning installation
Good news: government grants are available for the installation of energy-efficient heat pumps in Quebec. Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program offers up to $5,000 for the installation of an eligible central heat pump. Other municipal and federal programs may also apply, for total savings of up to $5,400 on your project.
Our team will assist you with the administrative process to maximize the grants you are entitled to. We prepare the necessary documentation and ensure your installation meets all program requirements.
Regulations and permits for air conditioning installation
In Quebec, the installation of an air conditioning system must comply with the standards of the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). Work must be performed by a contractor holding a valid RBQ license. For condominiums, additional rules may apply regarding the placement of the outdoor unit on the building's facade.
Confort Prestige holds all required licenses and certifications. As a member of the CMMTQ and winner of the 2024 Award of Excellence, we guarantee installations that meet the highest industry standards.
Maintaining your air conditioning system
Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your air conditioning unit and maintains its energy efficiency. Here is what you should do:
- Clean or replace filters every 3 months (monthly during periods of heavy use)
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow, and debris
- Have the refrigerant level checked by a certified technician once a year
- Inspect ducts (for central systems) for air leaks
