- Expansion Valves: Lowering refrigerant pressure for cooling.
- Evaporators: Absorbing indoor heat to cool the air.

Metro Vancouver homes have specific requirements when it comes to central A/Cs, driven by climate, code, and the local housing stock. This page covers the essentials. Modern central A/C systems in Metro Vancouver run at 15-22 SEER2, with variable-speed inverter compressors that match output to load — eliminating the on/off cycling of older single-stage units.
BC's building code, TSBC gas-fitting rules, and FortisBC's natural-gas service standards together govern every HVAC installation in Metro Vancouver — CANRO works under permit and inspection on every gas-appliance install. CANRO has worked with central A/C systems across Metro Vancouver since 1999, including installations and service calls in Pitt Meadows, Norgate, Ranch Park and Seafair.
Technical considerations for central A/Cs in Metro Vancouver
Sizing. A/C sizing in Vancouver is typically 1 ton per 600-1,000 square feet depending on insulation, windows, and orientation. Over-sized A/C is the most common error — it leads to short-cycling, poor dehumidification, and premature compressor failure.
Lifespan. A properly maintained central A/C unit lasts 12-15 years. Vancouver's coastal salt air shortens outdoor-coil life — annual coil cleaning is more important here than inland.
Warning signs. A/C issues include warm air from supply registers, water leaks from the indoor coil (clogged condensate drain), refrigerant odour (R-410A leak), and noisy compressor startup.
What CANRO checks during a central A/C service
- Refrigerant charge measurement
- Outdoor coil clean
- Indoor evaporator coil inspection
- Capacitor microfarad test
- Contactor inspection
- Condensate drain and pan inspection
- Blower motor amp draw
- Filter check and airflow measurement
- Thermostat operation test

Central a/c FAQs
How often should A/C be serviced?
Annual servicing in spring keeps the outdoor coil clean, the refrigerant charge correct, and the indoor evaporator coil and condensate drain clear. Skipping service is the single biggest cause of premature compressor failure.
What size A/C does my Vancouver home need?
A/C sizing in Vancouver is typically 1 ton (12,000 BTU) per 600-1,000 sq ft depending on insulation, windows, and orientation. Over-sized A/C is the most common error — it short-cycles, dehumidifies poorly, and shortens compressor life.
Will R-410A refrigerant be available for my A/C in 5 years?
R-410A is being phased down (not phased out) under EPA AIM rules. Existing R-410A systems can continue to be serviced — refrigerant remains available for the foreseeable future, though prices may rise. New systems installed 2025+ increasingly use R-32 or R-454B with lower global-warming potential.
Why does my A/C leak water inside the house?
Indoor water leaks from central A/C indicate a clogged condensate drain (most common), a failed condensate pump on attic installs, a frozen evaporator coil thawing, or a damaged drain pan. All are repairable in a single service visit.
Do I really need air conditioning in Vancouver?
Vancouver summers have been getting hotter — the 2021 heat dome saw temperatures over 40°C. Most modern Vancouver homes now install a heat pump (heating + cooling in one) rather than a stand-alone A/C, taking advantage of rebates available for heat pumps but not stand-alone A/C.
How much does central A/C cost in Metro Vancouver?
A typical 2.5-3 ton central A/C added to an existing forced-air furnace costs $5,500-$9,500 installed. A heat-pump conversion (cooling + heating in one unit) is usually a smarter long-term investment given available rebates.
