What cooling capacity is required for a custom home in Lions Bay?

Cooling capacity depends on multiple factors including total square footage, window exposure, insulation levels, ceiling height, and local solar gain. Our technicians perform a detailed Manual J load calculation during your consultation to determine the exact tonnage required for balanced, efficient comfort across your entire residence.

How does coastal humidity affect indoor air conditioning performance?

High relative humidity originating from Howe Sound can make warm indoor air feel heavier and more oppressive. Modern air conditioners and heat pumps act as effective dehumidifiers by condensing moisture out of the air as it passes over the cooling coil, significantly improving indoor air quality and comfort without lowering the temperature to uncomfortable levels.

Are ductless mini-split systems suitable for multi-level architectural homes?

Yes. Ductless mini-split systems are exceptionally well suited for multi-level custom homes with complex architectural layouts. They allow independent temperature control across different rooms or zones, eliminating hot spots caused by vaulted ceilings or expansive glazing without requiring bulky ductwork renovations.

What maintenance is necessary to protect equipment from coastal salt air?

Coastal environments expose outdoor equipment to airborne moisture and salt. We recommend annual professional coil cleanings, applying anti-corrosion protective coatings to condenser coils, and routinely rinsing outdoor units with fresh water to prevent salt accumulation and maintain optimal heat transfer efficiency.

How long does a typical air conditioning installation take?

Standard replacement or straightforward ductless installations typically require one to two days to complete. More complex multi-zone projects or installations requiring extensive electrical upgrades or crane hoisting may take additional time. Our project coordinators provide clear timelines prior to starting work.

What manufacturer warranties protect my new cooling system?

Our premium Lennox, Mitsubishi, and Daikin systems come with robust manufacturer warranties covering major components such as compressors and parts for extended periods, often ranging from 10 years to lifetime on select parts when registered and maintained according to manufacturer guidelines.
