If you’re looking for the best air conditioner for your Toronto home, you’re not alone. With hot, humid summers becoming the norm, a reliable and energy-efficient AC system is essential for staying comfortable. But with so many options available, how do you choose the right one?
When choosing an air conditioner, it’s important to consider factors like home size, energy efficiency, and budget. Here are the most popular types of air conditioners in Toronto:
Ideal for whole-home cooling
Works with an existing ductwork system
Provides even cooling and improves air quality
Energy-efficient models available with high SEER ratings
Best for homes without ducts or for targeted cooling in specific rooms
More efficient than window AC units
Quieter operation and customizable temperature settings
Good option for older Toronto homes that don’t have ductwork
Provides both air conditioning and heating
More energy-efficient than traditional AC systems
Works well in Toronto’s climate, handling both summer heat and winter cold
Can qualify for rebates and incentives
Budget-friendly and easy to install
Ideal for cooling a single room
Higher energy consumption compared to central AC or mini-splits
Not ideal for long-term home cooling solutions
Choosing the right size AC is critical for energy efficiency and performance. A unit that’s too small won’t cool your home effectively, while one that’s too large will waste energy and cycle on and off frequently, leading to higher utility bills.
Air conditioners are measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units). The more BTUs, the more cooling power.
Here’s a general AC sizing guide for Toronto homes:
For larger homes or multi-story houses, a professional load calculation is recommended. Our Econoair experts can help determine the right size for your home.
In Toronto, energy efficiency is key to saving money on cooling costs. The higher the SEER rating (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), the less electricity your AC unit will use.
Minimum SEER requirement in Canada: 14 SEER
Recommended for better efficiency: 16 SEER or higher
Best for long-term savings: 18+ SEER models with variable-speed technology
