We need to keep following point in mind before we go out in the heating and cooling Toronto market for the purchase of right size air conditioner;

·         The number of people staying in the home to be cooled

·         The size of the house and existing ductwork condition

·         The temperature reaches in  the house without air conditioning;

·         Other appliances in the home which generates heats for example oven.

·         Required cooling ability because if you put a big air conditioner instead of small which was the requirement of your home then the on off cycle of the compressor will be frequent and this may drop the efficiency and life of the air conditioner. This may also cause you to pay high energy bills.

·         Look for best air conditioner brand at best price and quality installation

·         Don’t forget to read the homeowner review regarding various air conditioner brands and installation contractor this can save your money and time.
