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.

Wall-mounted air conditioner (wall-mounted heat pump)
The wall-mounted air conditioner, also known as a mini-split, is the most popular type of unit in Quebec. It consists of an indoor unit mounted on the wall and an outdoor unit installed on the building's exterior or on the ground. Reversible models (wall-mounted heat pumps) provide both cooling in the summer and supplemental heating in the winter, maximizing your home's energy efficiency. This system is suitable for homes without existing ductwork and allows for independent control of each room.
Central air conditioning
Central air conditioning uses your home's existing ductwork to distribute cool air evenly throughout every room. Installing a central air conditioning system is ideal for homes that already have a forced-air heating system. A central heat pump offers the best of both worlds: cooling in the summer and heating in the winter, with government grants of up to $5,000 available for purchase and installation.

Multi-zone system
A multi-zone system connects multiple indoor units to a single outdoor unit. It is the ideal solution for cooling several rooms without cluttering your exterior with multiple devices. Each zone has its own thermostat, allowing you to adjust the temperature room by room and reduce energy consumption in unoccupied spaces.

How do you choose the right air conditioning unit?

Choosing the right air conditioner depends on several factors specific to your home:

Area to be cooled:

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.

1
Existing ductwork:

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.

2
Noise level:

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.

3
Energy efficiency:

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:

System type
Price range (installed)
Included
Wall-mounted air conditioner (1 zone)
$2,500 – $4,500
Unit + installation + commissioning
Multi-zone system (2-4 zones)
$5,000 – $12,000
Indoor and outdoor units + installation
Central heat pump
$6,000 – $14,000
Unit + ductwork connection + commissioning
Central air conditioning (no heat pump)
$4,000 – $8,000
Condenser + coil + installation
💡

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
