Professional Central Air Conditioning Services in Central Ontario
Central air conditioning provides complete whole-home cooling by working with your existing furnace and ductwork to distribute cool, dehumidified air throughout every room. Unlike window units or portable ACs that cool only one space, central systems maintain consistent temperatures everywhere in your home while removing excess humidity that makes summers feel even hotter. Air Source Home Comfort is a Lennox Premier Dealer, giving you access to the industry's most efficient and reliable air conditioning systems. We install units with SEER ratings up to 26, which can cut cooling costs nearly in half compared to older systems. Every installation includes proper sizing calculations, quality workmanship, and comprehensive warranties.

What We Offer
High-Efficiency Systems
We install systems with SEER ratings up to 26, reducing cooling costs by up to 50% compared to older 10-SEER units. The energy savings add up significantly over the system's lifetime.
Proper Sizing
We size your AC based on best practice and design specifications to ensure it's sized correctly. Oversized systems cycle frequently, waste energy, and don't dehumidify properly. Undersized systems can't keep up on hot days. We get it right.

Proper installation is critical for efficiency, reliability, and warranty coverage. Our technicians follow manufacturer specifications and best practices for every installation.
Maintenance Plans
Keep your AC running efficiently with our membership maintenance program. Annual tune-ups prevent breakdowns, maintain efficiency, and extend equipment life.

Central Air Conditioning Questions Answered
Common questions we receive about central air conditioning from homeowners throughout Central Ontario.
What size AC do I need for my home?
AC size is measured in tons (not weight). Most homes need 2-5 tons depending on square footage, insulation, window exposure, and other factors. We perform detailed calculations to determine the exact requirement—guessing leads to problems.
How long does central AC installation take?
Most central AC installations are completed in one day, typically 4-8 hours. If you're adding air conditioning for the first time and need ductwork modifications, it may take longer. We'll provide a clear timeline.
What SEER rating should I choose?
Higher SEER means lower operating costs. We recommend at least 16 SEER for good efficiency. 20+ SEER systems offer the best long-term savings, especially if you use AC frequently during our increasingly hot summers.
Can I add AC to a home that doesn't have it?
Yes! If you have a furnace with ductwork, adding central AC is straightforward—we simply connect an outdoor condenser to your existing system. For homes without ducts, ductless mini-splits are an excellent alternative.
How much can I save with a new high-efficiency AC?
If you're replacing an older 10-SEER system with a 20-SEER unit, you'll cut cooling costs roughly in half. For a typical home, that's $200-400+ in annual savings, which adds up significantly over the AC's 15-20 year lifespan.
What brands of air conditioners do you install?
As a Lennox Premier Dealer, we specialize in Lennox AC systems—consistently rated among the best for efficiency and reliability. We also install Carrier, Keeprite, and other quality brands to match various budgets.
