Central air added to a 1960s bungalow or a mini-split in a newer suite: we repair air conditioners of every brand across Etobicoke and agree the price with you before the work.
Typical ranges, not quotes, plus HST. We agree your price before the repair starts.
📞 Call (647) 677-0037Close to two-thirds of Etobicoke homes (62%) predate 1981, and most were built with ductwork sized for a furnace alone. When central air came later, the small ducts and returns stayed, so the AC can work perfectly and still struggle with the rooms farthest from it. Before we blame the equipment, we measure airflow at the vents and check the coil above the furnace for dirt or ice.

| What you notice | The usual cause |
|---|---|
| The outdoor unit hums but the fan does not spin | A failed capacitor or fan motor |
| Air from the vents is not cold | Low refrigerant from a leak, or a dirty outdoor coil |
| Ice on the copper line | Low airflow or low refrigerant |
| Water around the furnace | A blocked condensate drain or a cracked drain pan |
| The AC will not turn on at all | The thermostat, a tripped breaker or the contactor |
If your outdoor unit's label lists R-22, the system predates the industry's move to R-410A around 2010, and topping it up has become expensive. A small electrical repair on an R-22 unit can still make sense. A leak usually does not, so ask us to price the repair and a replacement side by side.
| Cooling service | Usual cost |
|---|---|
| AC repair, parts and labour included | $350 to $950 |
| Yearly AC tune-up | $150 to $250 |

| Rented AC from GT | $0, repairs covered |
| New central AC instead | From $4,000 installed* |
*Includes standard installation only. Any extra work your home needs is quoted before we start.
Our Brampton prices apply here too, before HST. A compressor or a major leak can cost more, and you hear about it before any work.
Live in one of Etobicoke's towers? Check two things before you call. First, whether your neighbours are warm too: if they are, the building's system is the likely cause and the property manager's job. Second, whether the equipment in your suite belongs to you under your declaration. If it does, such as a mini-split or another in-suite unit, we can repair it.
With about 40% of Etobicoke households renting, many air conditioners here belong to a landlord. If your lease includes air conditioning, report the problem to your landlord first, since the landlord normally arranges the repair. Property managers and landlords can reach us 24/7.

When the repair costs too much, a new central AC is $4,000 and up installed, or $44.95 a month as a rental. A heat pump cools the same way and heats most of the year, and for a house without ducts a ductless mini-split starts at $2,800. See air conditioners.
