The honest math

Air conditioner alone versus heat pump with LogisVert. We show you the gap with real numbers, you decide.

In-home evaluation

The right capacity for your square footage and your existing heating. We come see for ourselves, we do not guess.

In-house team

The team that installs is the team that repairs. We never subcontract, on principle.

Cool the house, yes - but look at the numbers first

A lot of people call us for an air conditioner, central or wall-mounted, simply because they want cool air in summer without touching their heating. That is a legitimate request, and we do install air conditioners. But before selling you a box, we show you something few installers take the time to explain.

Here is the market reality in 2026: the LogisVert rebate does not apply to an air conditioner on its own, but it does apply to a heat pump. And a heat pump does exactly what an air conditioner does in summer - it cools - and it heats in winter as a bonus. Once the rebate is deducted, the price gap between an air conditioner alone and a heat pump often becomes small, and nine out of ten clients who call for an air conditioner end up with a heat pump once they have seen the numbers.

That said, it is not automatic. If after the math you really do want an air conditioner alone - because that matches your need and your budget - we install it, without inventing a need you do not have. Our job is to give you honest information, not to push you toward the more expensive option.

And the type of air conditioner matters too. A central air conditioner distributes cold air through your home's ductwork, ideal if you already have a network and want even cooling everywhere. A wall-mounted air conditioner (or split system) cools one or a few zones without ductwork, handy for targeting the rooms that heat up most. The right choice depends on your home, your existing ductwork and the rooms you want to cool - another reason to do the in-home evaluation before pricing.

Air conditioner installation is part of Air 2's sales and installation silo: in-home evaluation, honest math, a clear quote, and installation by our in-house team.

Air conditioner or heat pump: what separates them

Both cool. Only one heats and qualifies for LogisVert. Here is what you need to decide.

Air conditioner: summer

It cools, full stop. Central or wall-mounted, it is a pure cooling solution for anyone whose heating is already satisfactory.

Heat pump: 4 seasons

It cools in summer AND heats in winter, more efficiently than baseboards. The same unit, two uses.

The rebate

LogisVert covers the heat pump, not the air conditioner alone. That is what narrows the price gap between the two.

The real net

Once the rebate is deducted, the heat pump often costs barely more, and heats as a bonus. We show you the numbers.

"An air conditioner is the budget option"

That is what everyone assumes, and it used to be true. But with the LogisVert rebate covering the heat pump and not the air conditioner alone, the price gap has narrowed to the point where the air conditioner is no longer necessarily the budget option. Often, for barely more net, a heat pump gives you the cooling you wanted plus heating for the winter.

The other idea: "my furnace still works, I just want to add cooling." Perfectly valid - and in that case an air conditioner may be the right choice. But it is worth seeing the numbers first, because if your furnace is also nearing its end, killing two birds with one stone with a heat pump can change the math.

We do not force anything on you. We show you the scenarios - air conditioner alone, heat pump with LogisVert - and you choose what suits you. If you go with the air conditioner, it is our in-house team that installs it, and the same team that handles the air conditioner repair afterward.

Frequently asked questions about air conditioner installation

The cost depends on the capacity required, the type of unit and the complexity of the installation at your place. We give you a clear quote after the in-home evaluation. And we systematically add the comparison with a heat pump, because the LogisVert rebate often changes the real net cost of both options - you see the true numbers before deciding.
If you only want cooling and your heating is satisfactory, an air conditioner does the job. But since LogisVert covers the heat pump and not the air conditioner alone, the net price gap is often small - and the heat pump cools in summer while heating in winter, more efficiently than baseboards. That is why nine out of ten clients who call for an air conditioner leave with a heat pump once they have the numbers in hand. We do the honest math; the choice stays yours.
The right capacity (in tonnage or BTU) depends on the square footage to cool, the insulation, the orientation and the windows. An oversized air conditioner cools too fast, short cycles and controls humidity poorly; an undersized one runs constantly without cooling. That is what we measure during the in-home evaluation, so we can recommend the right size rather than an approximation.
Spring is the best time: you avoid the last-minute rush in the middle of a heat wave, when lead times stretch out. Installing off-season also gives you time to properly weigh your options - including the air conditioner versus heat pump math - without the pressure of a heat wave. We schedule the installation at a time that suits you, ideally before you really need it.
For an air conditioner alone, no: Quebec programs like LogisVert target units that heat efficiently, so the heat pump, not pure cooling. That is precisely what makes the math interesting: by moving to a heat pump, you become eligible for LogisVert, which narrows the price gap with an air conditioner while giving you heating. We explain what applies on our heat pump rebate page.

(Translated by Google) We live in a condominium and suspected that one of the owners had a bird's nest in her dryer vent. Pierre-Alexandre came and did a thorough cleaning and was very respectful of nature, placing the three eggs he found under our cedar trees, along with part of the nest removed, in case the mother returned for her chicks. He did an excellent job working at heights (3rd floor) and we will definitely contact this company again if needed. Thank you, Pierre-Alexandre!

Nous sommes en copropriété et nous nous doutions qu'une des copropriétaires avait un nid d'oiseau dans son conduit de sécheuse. Pierre-Alexandre est venu faire un bon nettoyage et a été assez respectueux de la nature pour poser sous nos cèdres les 3 oeufs trouvés avec une partie du nid enlevé au cas où la mère reviendrait pour ses petits. Il a fait un excellent travail en hauteur (3e étage) et nous recontacterons assurément cette compagnie au besoin. Merci Pierre-Alexandre
