Nanaimo Air Conditioning Installation

With an array of products, we can offer almost anyone in Nanaimo a new air conditioning system or HVAC system. From ductless heat pumps to traditional air conditioning units and gas furnaces, we have the expertise and knowledge to bring you summer comfort and year-round climate control.

We always conduct a thorough evaluation of your home and your needs before installing a new system, ensuring that you receive the most energy-efficient and suitable solution.

Size and Capacity

Choosing the right size and capacity for your air conditioner is crucial for optimal performance and energy efficiency. Our experienced technicians will assess your space, considering factors such as square footage, insulation, and the number of occupants to determine the appropriate BTU rating for your new AC unit. We’ll ensure that your air conditioner is neither undersized, which can lead to inadequate cooling and increased wear on the system, nor oversized, which can result in short cycling and higher energy bills.

Types of Air Conditioners

At Norm’s Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning, we offer a variety of air conditioner types to suit different needs and preferences:

1. Central Air Conditioners: These systems are ideal for cooling an entire home or large space. They work in conjunction with your existing ductwork to distribute cool air evenly throughout your property.
2. Ductless Mini-Split Systems: Perfect for homes without ductwork or for adding cooling to specific rooms, ductless mini-splits consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handling units. They offer flexible, zone-controlled cooling.
3. Heat Pumps: Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating, making them a versatile choice for year-round comfort. They work by transferring heat from one place to another, providing efficient temperature control.

Common Air Conditioning Problems

1. Refrigerant Leaks: If your AC unit is low on refrigerant, it could be due to a leak. Our technicians will locate and repair the leak, then recharge the system.
2. Sensor Problems: Air conditioners have a thermostat sensor that can become dislodged or faulty. We’ll fix or replace the sensor to ensure your system runs efficiently.
3. Drainage Issues: Blocked or clogged drainage pipes can cause water to back up into your AC unit. We’ll clear the blockage and ensure proper drainage.
4. Electrical Control Failure: Frequent cycling can wear out the compressor and fan controls. We’ll inspect and replace any faulty electrical components.
5. Frozen Evaporator Coils: When airflow is restricted, evaporator coils can freeze. We’ll defrost the coils and check for any underlying issues.
6. Dirty Filters: Clogged filters can reduce efficiency and strain your system. We’ll clean or replace filters to improve airflow and performance.
