Air Conditioning in Red Deer, AB
Most summer days in Central Alberta are comfortable, but heat waves arrive, and upstairs bedrooms can stay hot long after sunset. Central air fixes that, and it needs little attention when set up well.
Request an HVAC technicianNot cooling
Check the thermostat is on cool and set below the room temperature, the breaker is on and the outdoor disconnect hasn't been switched off. Replace a dirty filter before anything else.
Frozen lines
Ice on the copper lines or the indoor coil means poor airflow or low refrigerant. Turn the system off, let it thaw and change the filter. If it freezes again, it needs a technician.
After winter
Before the first warm spell, clear leaves, cottonwood fluff and grass clippings from around the outdoor unit and remove any cover.
Hot upstairs rooms
Upper floors collect heat. Balancing dampers, more return air and attic insulation often help as much as a bigger unit.
Adding AC
If your furnace has ducts, central air or a heat pump can usually be added using the same blower. Homes with boilers can use ductless units.
Refrigerant work
Refrigerant handling needs certified technicians. Avoid anyone who tops up refrigerant every year without finding the leak.
Get help
Tell the technician the unit's age and what it's doing. Send a request and an HVAC technician will get in touch.
Condensate drain
The indoor coil drains water through a small pipe or pump. A clogged drain can overflow onto the basement floor, so check it each spring and after long hot spells.
Sizing matters
A unit that's too large cools quickly but leaves the air clammy and cycles on and off. Ask for sizing based on the house, not on the biggest unit that fits.
