Edmonton summers aren't what they used to be

Thirty-degree stretches are a normal part of an Alberta summer now, and most homes in the region were built with no cooling at all. A properly sized Lennox system cools quietly, dehumidifies as it runs, and uses the ductwork and blower you already have.

What's included in every price

  • A Lennox air conditioner sized for your home, installed
  • Indoor coil, line set and electrical connection
  • Removal and disposal of your old unit
  • The municipal permit
  • A new thermostat
  • 10-year limited parts and labour warranty (conditions apply)
Thinking about a heat pump instead?

A heat pump cools in summer and heats in spring and fall, which can cut your gas use. See how heat pumps work in Alberta →

Sizing matters more for cooling than for heating

An oversized air conditioner cools the air quickly and shuts off before it has pulled the humidity out of the house. The result is a home that feels cold and clammy at the same time, with the system constantly starting and stopping. An undersized unit runs forever on the hottest days and never quite gets there.

We size on the house as it actually is: square footage, window area and orientation, insulation, ceiling heights, how the ductwork is laid out and whether the basement is finished. South and west-facing glass in particular changes the answer.

Merit, Elite or Signature

Merit (ML14XC1) — $6,198.40 installed

Single-stage cooling: on at full capacity, then off. Dependable and the lowest cost up front. A solid fit for smaller homes, rentals and anyone who just wants the house cool without extra features.

Elite (EL15KC1) — $7,797.40 installed

Higher efficiency and quieter operation, with better humidity control because it runs longer at lower output. The middle choice most homeowners land on.

Signature (SL22KLV) — $14,029.60 installed

Variable capacity — it modulates continuously instead of cycling. The quietest option by a wide margin, the most even room-to-room temperatures, and the lowest running cost on long hot stretches. Worth it in larger homes, and in houses where bedrooms are above a hot upper floor.

Adding cooling to a home that's never had it

Most homes in Edmonton and St. Albert with a forced-air furnace can take central air without major duct work. What we check first: whether the existing blower can move enough air, whether the returns are adequate, where the line set can run, and whether the electrical panel has capacity for the new circuit. If something needs upgrading, it's identified in the quote before the job starts — never added halfway through.

What installation day looks like

Book it before the first heat wave

Every summer it goes the same way: three comfortable weeks, then 31 °C on a Tuesday and every HVAC company in the region books solid for a week and a half. Spring and early summer are when installations get scheduled on your terms instead of on the weather's.

Keeping it alive

Air conditioners fail in July, not in October, because that's when they're working. A spring tune-up catches a weak capacitor, a dirty condenser coil or a slow refrigerant leak before the heat arrives. It's included in the VIP Program, along with unlimited service calls and 15% off repairs.

Frequently asked questions

How much does central air conditioning cost in Edmonton?

Our Lennox pricing is $6,198.40 for the Merit ML14XC1, $7,797.40 for the Elite EL15KC1 and $14,029.60 for the Signature SL22KLV. Prices are before GST and include installation, removal of the old unit, the permit and a thermostat.

Can I add air conditioning to a house that only has a furnace?

In most cases yes. If your home has ductwork and a furnace in reasonable condition, the outdoor condenser and an indoor coil can be added to the existing system. We confirm it during the in-home assessment.

Is it cheaper to install a furnace and AC at the same time?

Usually — one visit, one set of labour hours, one shared electrical and refrigerant setup. If your furnace is near end of life and you want cooling, price the pair before deciding to split the jobs.

How long does an AC installation take?

A typical residential installation is a one-day job.

When is the best time to install air conditioning?

Spring and early summer, before the first heat wave. Once 30 °C hits, every company in the region books up at the same time.

How loud is a new system?

Much quieter than equipment from fifteen years ago. The Elite and Signature units run at lower speeds for longer instead of cycling at full blast, which is both quieter and more even.

Where does the outdoor unit go?

On a level pad beside the house, with clearance for airflow and service, and positioned away from bedroom windows and the neighbour's patio where we can. We'll walk the yard with you before anything is set.

Would a heat pump be better than an air conditioner?

A heat pump cools exactly like an air conditioner and also heats in the shoulder seasons, which can lower your gas bill. It costs more up front. We'll price both so you can compare.
