To remember

  • Maintenance often prevents breakdowns.
  • The surface area and location count for the installation.
  • The estimate is recommended for installing or replacing air conditioning.

The three common needs

An air conditioner may require simple maintenance, repair, or complete installation. The right request depends on the symptoms: noise, leakage, lack of cold, smell, complete shutdown or equipment project.

  • Maintenance: cleaning, filters, general check.
  • Repair: breakdown, noise, leakage, lack of performance.
  • Installation: choice of power, indoor unit, drainage.

Useful information

For a breakdown, give the make, the model if visible, the age of the device and the symptoms. For an installation, describe the part, the surface area and the location constraints.

Schedule or Request a Quote

Simple maintenance can be scheduled. An installation or replacement deserves a quote, as the service provider must evaluate the power, access and equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Should you maintain your air conditioning every year?

Annual maintenance is recommended to preserve performance, limit breakdowns and improve air quality.

Do you need a quote to install air conditioning?

Yes for one installation, replacement or multiple units. The estimate makes it possible to evaluate the power, the location and the constraints.
