Why Buy a New AC?
If you’re planning a home renovation, buying a new home and your current air conditioning unit is more than 15 years old or can’t be fixed, it might be time to buy a new air conditioner.

Common Questions About Buying a New Air Conditioner
How much does an air conditioner cost?
A new high-efficiency central air conditioner in Ontario usually costs $3,500 to $6,000. With Primipair, you pay the price — no hidden charges — with installation by a fully insured and licensed company and a warranty of at least one year included. The cost of a new air conditioner for your home depends on four things:
​
-
Technical requirements including the size of your home, floor plan, number of stories, existing ductwork and cooling load
-
Preferences such as energy efficiency, sound output, air filtration sizes (which depend on allergies or other sensitivities) and comfort-enhancing options
-
Personal choices such as extended warranties, maintenance plans and guarantees
-
Code requirements including safety, licensing and building code requirements
​
What size air conditioner do I need?
Several factors affect the size of the unit you need, including the size and age of your home, air flow, insulation and how many windows and doors you have. To make sure you get the right-sized unit for your needs, it’s crucial to have a professional evaluate your home and calculate heat loss and air flow. Incorrect AC sizing may reduce the lifespan of your unit and lead to higher utility costs because your home is not cooling down properly.
​
When should I replace my current air conditioner?
The average lifecycle of an air conditioner is 15 years, but age isn’t the only consideration. If your system breaks down frequently, was installed poorly or isn’t the right size for your home, it could wear out faster and need replacement earlier.
​
Do I need to change my furnace filter in the summer?
Yes, if you have a central air conditioner. The air conditioner works with the furnace fan to transfer cool air throughout the home. We recommend that you change or clean your furnace filter every three months.
