Common Questions About AC Replacement

How much does AC replacement cost in Ontario?

A complete central air conditioner replacement in Ontario runs $3,500 to $6,500 installed. A standard 14 SEER2 entry-level unit is $3,500 to $4,200. A premium 20+ SEER2 variable-speed system is $5,500 to $6,500. Prices include permits, labour, refrigerant, and disposal of the old unit. EcoFrost offers 0% financing on approved credit.

How long does AC replacement take?

Most central AC replacements are completed in 4 to 6 hours by a two-person EcoFrost crew. In most cases, cooling is restored the same day. A permit is pulled before installation.

What size AC do I need for my home?

Sizing is based on a cooling load calculation that accounts for your home's square footage, insulation, windows, sun exposure, and ceiling height. Oversizing causes short-cycling, high humidity, and premature failure. EcoFrost performs a full cooling load calculation on every estimate.

Should I replace my AC and furnace at the same time?

If your furnace is over 15 years old, replacing both together saves on labour and ensures your air handler is matched to the new cooling system. Ask us for a combo quote.

Is my old R-22 AC worth repairing?

R-22 (Freon) was phased out in 2020 and is now extremely expensive when available. If your system uses R-22 and needs a refrigerant recharge, replacement is almost always the more cost-effective option.
