Hi RFD, I'm looking at a home that has an existing HVAC system that has heating / forced air / fan cooling. There is a desire to have an AC unit installed, connecting to the existing HVAC system and interior duct work of the house. Not 100% clear on the Toronto site whether this type of job would re...

We had a rather large storm last night that knocked the power out. Since then the house has been heating up I went outside and the A/C seems to be running, but in the house there is no air coming from the vents.

... for heating. I am wondering if I can also tweak the fan setting for cooling. I am holding my cooling setpoint OK, but I have the sense that my air conditioning is not as strong as before, i.e. it seems to run longer than it used to. Last fall I pulled off the aircon unit housing and dusted ...

... category—if there's one more appropriate for my issue, please let me know. I own a condo in Toronto. For whatever reason, the entire building's air conditioning is busted. Every suite in the building has its own A/C unit, and we're responsible for it, but this time it's the building's problem. ...

... has worked well in our 110 year old, five bedroom Toronto house. But it appears to be nearing end of life (and is energy inefficient). I assume air conditioning technology has changed/improved over the decades. For example, are VRF systems just for commercial applications? If they are used in ...

My apartment has no AC and I'm only able to keep a window fan to keep circulation going in my high rise apartment but it feels like all it's doing is sucking in hot air. Is it better to endure the heat or have keep the fan on at least to keep circulation going? Or should I be pushing the stale air o...

Hi guys, I wonder if there is anything you guys for the central ACU before the winter. Thanks.
Sep 29th, 2019 1:33 pm
Hey guys, I tried to google this question but couldn't get a definitive answer. I know short-cycling with central air conditioners is bad, but is it bad for it to run hours at a time? I ask because I have it set up at home so that we leave for work in the morning, the air conditioner stays off all d...

I've had great luck (not) this summer with the a/c system on my 02 Civic not blowing cool air a few weeks ago to the a/c system on my 11 Accord having just stopped working yesterday. I've checked the fuses and swapped them with spares and also switched the relays (interchangeable with the horn) and ...
