Homeowners getting quotes to replace an aging or failed air conditioner who want a realistic price range and to understand what drives it.
A central air conditioner, supplied and installed in Greater Vancouver, typically runs $5,000–$12,000 depending on capacity, ducted vs ductless and electrical work — before rebates. Many homeowners now choose a heat pump instead, for cooling plus efficient heating and bigger rebates. Most homeowners are surprised how much rebates and financing change the real, out-of-pocket number — which is why a written quote beats an online estimate every time.

Straight AC has limited rebates, but switching to a heat pump (which cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter) unlocks the largest CleanBC, BC Hydro and federal incentives. We help you compare.
Available programs in BC can include CleanBC Better Homes, BC Hydro, FortisBC and the federal Canada Greener Homes initiatives, plus the interest-free Greener Homes Loan. Eligibility depends on your equipment, fuel source and home. CANRO checks what you qualify for and handles the applications. Prefer to spread the cost?
