Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement

If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Calgary home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Distinct Heating & Cooling professionals will install your cooling system without delay.

How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:

  • Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
    Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
  • Experiencing more and more repairs
    Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
  • Showing signs of running inefficiently
    How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Alberta home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.

If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Distinct Heating & Cooling team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.

We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

Air Conditioning Repairs

Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Alberta can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.

There are many ways your air conditioner can stop working in its normal capacity. A few symptoms you could experience are:

  • Hearing an unusual noise
  • Smelling an unusual odour like burning
  • Feeling warm air coming from your vents
  • Noticing your air conditioner is frozen
  • Leaking water

These symptoms mean you have an issue with your air conditioner. Ignoring problems usually only makes them bigger and more costly. Our recommendation is to have one of our Distinct Heating & Cooling team members promptly diagnose and repair the issue for you.

Sometimes a repair turns into an emergency. Give us a call when it’s urgent. We are here 24/7 for you.

When you do need our professionals to make a repair, you can count on it staying repaired. We make our repairs right the first time—and only use the highest quality parts and materials when working on your system. Our experts are always here for you.

Air Conditioning Maintenance

Keeping your air conditioner in its best operating condition is your goal. You want your system inspected, cleaned, and tuned up on a regular basis to help avoid unexpected and costly repairs and breakdowns.

Routine maintenance by our trained and experienced Distinct Heating & Cooling team helps your air conditioner cool your Calgary home efficiently and reliably. With annual professional care, you may experience maintenance benefits such as improved energy efficiency, extended system life span, and decreased emergencies.

We recommend having our experts prep your air conditioner before you use it for the first time in the spring to give you consistent cooling all season.

“Aidan was very friendly and professional. He took the time to explain everything about the current status of my AC and furnace. He also fixed my thermostat to set up a better schedule on it. Much appreciated.”
- Daniel W.

“Ed, the technician, once again did an excellent job maintaining and tuning up my AC unit on July 12, 2024. Punctual, courteous, knowledgeable and a complete professional from start to finish. I have used Distinct Heating & Cooling for many years, including the installation of a new furnace and AC components several years ago, and have nothing but the highest praise for the team. I would highly recommend Distinct Heating & Cooling to anyone needing heating and cooling services.”

- William W.

“Nate and his team of Kristian, Jaden, and Aidan did an amazing job of our hot water, furnace, and A/C install. This has been the best experience with contractors I have had. The communication was excellent. Email, text, and voice mail. I also appreciate that they would send a picture of the person coming to our house. I can not recommend Distinct Heating & Cooling enough. They were amazing. They left the house in better shape when they left and did a through walk through after everything was done. They were also extremely helpfully setting up the city inspection.
The team has great passion for their work and we could not be happier. Thank you so much Nate and team. Excellent service!!!!”

- David B.

“We were initially referred to Distinct and had Nate come to our home to give us an estimate on installing an additional air conditioner. He felt that with maintenance and some changes to the HVAC system that we have, the additional equipment may not be necessary. Ed came at exactly the time he said he would be at our place and began his work. He did a great job of making the necessary changes and corrected the inefficiencies that were present. Ed explained what he was doing and why he was doing it and how the system would work better after the cleaning and changes were made. We are very happy with Distinct and will certainly be referring this company to family and friends. Great job Ed and Nate.”
