Reduce energy consumption

Live life in a comfortable and healthy environment.

Several options are available to the consumer, including a room air conditioner, a central air conditioner and a heat pump. It is therefore useful to take the time to analyze the question to choose the system that best suits your needs.

Will it be necessary to condition the air throughout the house or will it be enough to cool one or two rooms? Individual air conditioners represent an effective and cost-effective way to increase the comfort of a small area of ​​the house, i.e. three rooms or less, without complex installation work. For their part, central air conditioning units and heat pumps cool the air in all rooms. The first are used exclusively for cooling, while the others also provide heating in winter. A heat pump costs more than a central air conditioner, which is more expensive than a room air conditioner. The brochure published by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) entitled Heating and Cooling Using a Heat Pump compares central air conditioning and heat pumps.
