Air Conditioning Installation in New Westminster, BC

Air Conditioning Installation for New Westminster homes

Vancouver summers are not what they used to be - heat waves and wildfire smoke have made cooling a necessity. CANRO installs air conditioning from central systems to ductless mini-splits. New Westminster, BC's original capital, is known for its hilly streets and heritage character homes in Queen's Park, alongside the Quayside condos lining the Fraser River.

New West's many heritage homes run older hot-water boilers and radiators - a CANRO specialty - while Quayside towers and newer infill use modern high-efficiency systems. New Westminster has a mild coastal winter, with steep streets that make winter traction and access a local reality, and we factor that into every recommendation. The Royal City's heritage housing stock means lots of older boilers and radiators - exactly the hydronic work our technicians specialize in.

Reasons to add air conditioning

• Upstairs bedrooms are unbearable on summer nights
• You want to close windows against wildfire smoke and still stay cool
• You have ductwork and want whole-home central air
• You have no ducts and want efficient ductless cooling
• You are considering a heat pump to get cooling AND heating from one system

How we install your cooling

• Honest advice on AC versus a heat pump (which also heats and earns rebates)
• Right-sizing so the system dehumidifies properly and does not short-cycle
• Central or ductless mini-split options to suit your home
• Clean, quiet installation with proper line-set and condensate routing
• Commissioning to manufacturer spec for rated efficiency

Brands we work with

We install and service Carrier, Bryant, Lennox, Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Goodman and American Standard - and we will work on whatever you already have. Our recommendations are based on what fits your New Westminster home and budget, never on what we are pushing this month.
