Stay Cool All Summer With Fast, Reliable AC Installation, Repair, and Maintenance

The cost varies based on the type of system (central air vs. ductless mini-split), the efficiency rating (SEER), the size of your home, and whether any electrical or ductwork upgrades are needed. We provide clear, upfront pricing after our on-site assessment so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Yes. Our licensed HVAC technicians are trained to diagnose and repair all major residential AC brands and models. We are not limited to the brands we install, which means you can call Electrika for honest diagnostics on any existing system without worrying about brand bias in the recommendation.

If your unit is under 10 years old and the repair is relatively minor, a repair is often the right call. If it is over 12 to 15 years old, requiring frequent repairs, or showing major efficiency drops, a replacement may save you more money over time. Elecktika’s specialist will walk you through both options honestly so you can make the right decision for your situation and budget.

This is often caused by a refrigerant leak, a dirty evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or a faulty thermostat sensor. Our diagnostic service identifies the exact cause quickly and Electrika explains what we found in plain language before recommending any fix.

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. A higher SEER means the unit uses less electricity to produce the same cooling output. In Montreal’s climate, a system with a SEER of 16 or higher can meaningfully reduce your monthly energy bills compared to an older, lower-rated unit. Electrika helps you weigh the upfront difference versus long-term savings for your specific home.

Not always. Many homes already have the capacity to support a central AC system. Some may need a panel upgrade or a dedicated circuit, depending on the unit size and your current electrical load. Electrika assesses your panel as part of every HVAC installation quote so there are no surprises.

A standard central AC installation typically takes one full day. Ductless mini-split installs can range from a few hours to a full day depending on the number of zones. More complex jobs involving ductwork modifications or panel upgrades may require additional time. Electrika always explains the scope clearly before any work begins.

Yes. Annual maintenance keeps your system running efficiently, reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns during peak heat periods, and is often required by manufacturers to keep your warranty valid. Electrika’s Home Protection Plan and professional tune-up typically pays for itself in energy savings and avoided repair costs within the season.
