Our apologies for the delay in having this information regarding the AC Group Buy for 2013. We are pleased to provide our valued clients in the Milton community another 2013 Central AC Group Buy. Below is a brief description on how we ensure the AC is properly sized to optimally cool your home, we have also provided detail on the specifics of the group buy as well.
It is very important that the AC unit is sized properly prior to installation. If a AC unit is undersized it will run continuously without reaching set point particularly during peak hours. If the AC unit is oversized it will short cycle meaning it will run and turn off continuously resulting in warm pockets of air in the home. We have installed AC units in every model of home in Milton, just let us know which builder and model and we can look up the appropriate size AC unit.
Here may be some of the additional information we may require in determining how to correctly size the AC unit with each individual home.
Square footage(not including the basement)
Ceiling height main level and upstairs
Exposure(does the home back North, South, East, or West)
Is there a lot of large windows in the home?
In terms of SEER rating (seasonal energy efficiency ratio), determines how efficient you AC unit is or how much electricity it consumes. The higher the seer the more efficient the AC. Our cooling season in southwestern Ontario is typically only 3-4 months of the year therefore I would not recommend installing a super-efficient high seer AC unit as the initial capital cost will take a long time to pay off especially with a short cooling season. For most of our clients I would typically only recommend a AC unit with a seer rate of 13 and no higher than a 14.5 seer. The difference in savings from a 13 seer 2 ton to a 14.5 seer 2 ton would be only $10.00 per year or cooling season.
Here are some information we will require to determine what seer rating is best for our clients.
Do you have an existing inefficient AC unit(if so there are rebates available if we remove an old AC unit and install a 14.5 seer or greater).In a new subdivision this is usually not the case.
Would you be consider a heavy user? Do you set the AC in May and run it until September without turning it off? Or would you only use the AC on the hot humid days?
What temperature would you keep your home during the cooling season? Do you prefer a colder setting or just enough to remove some humidity from the air.
There are many different manufactures of AC units available in the market today. There are premium products available which are sold and installed through a dealer network that technicians must be factory trained on installation and service and all technicians must be licenced and certified. There are a long list of mid- range product lines as well as builder quality product lines that can be sold to any HVAC company. I would be pleased to discuss the differences of the various product lines available.
At Four Season Comfort Heating & Cooling we recommend the premium American Standard/Trane line of products. We have installed hundreds of systems within the Hawthorne Village Community over the past 8 years our clients have been very satisfied with the quality and reliability of this product line. Other product lines are also available as well!
Here is some pricing on the American Standard/Trane line of 13 and 14.5 Seer AC units. This pricing includes complete installation with wall mounted brackets and 15ft of copper lineset. HST is additional. Warranty is 10 years parts & 5 year labour. This also includes your ESA inspection(Electrical Safety Authority) which must be done by law. We also assume your builder furnace warranty and put this in writing on your invoice.

In order to participate in this group buy we require a $250.00 deposit prior to May 01, 2013 which may be made by check or interac email money transfer . Once this deposit is received we will send an invoice showing the deposit has been received and a tentative installation date. This deposit secures your pricing as well as your installation date. On May 02, 2013 we will determine how many participants we have in the group buy and apply the necessary discount to the invoice. If the AC has been installed and paid for prior to May 02/13 we will return the applicable group buy discount to our client via check or Interac email money transfer.
We would recommend the Honeywell line of humidifiers as well. The group buy pricing on the Honeywell HE225 for homes up to 3000sq ft is $325.00 installed. The Honeywell HE 265 for homes 3000sq ft – 4500sq ft is $395.00 installed.
In terms of air cleaners I would recommend using a 3M filter for the first 6 months of your occupancy. I would not recommend making an investment on an indoor air quality system initially unless you are certain the ducts are clean. Once most of the construction debris has been removed from your ductwork I would recommend the Accuclean system which does not restrict air circulation like many of the media filters and other systems.
I hope I have given you enough information in order for you to start this process.
