Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
How do I know what size air conditioner I need for my Red Deer home?
Air conditioner sizing is determined by a Manual J load calculation, which takes into account your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window size and orientation, local climate data, and other factors. Choosing the right size is critical — an undersized unit will struggle to cool your home, while an oversized unit will short-cycle, leading to humidity problems and premature wear. McMullen’s Refrigeration & Heating performs proper load calculations to ensure your new AC system is correctly sized for optimal comfort and efficiency.
What types of air conditioning systems does McMullen's install?
McMullen’s Refrigeration & Heating installs central air conditioning systems, ductless mini-split systems, and heat pumps for Red Deer and Central Alberta homes and businesses. Central AC systems work with existing ductwork to cool the entire home. Ductless mini-splits are ideal for homes without ducts or for adding cooling to specific zones. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one system, offering excellent energy efficiency for Alberta’s climate. McMullen’s will help you determine the best system type for your specific home and budget.
How long does an air conditioner installation take?
A standard central air conditioner installation in Red Deer typically takes 4 to 8 hours when replacing an existing system with compatible ductwork already in place. Ductless mini-split installations can often be completed in a similar timeframe for a single zone. More complex installations involving new refrigerant line routing, electrical panel upgrades, or multiple zones may require additional time. McMullen’s will provide a clear installation timeline during the quoting process so you can plan accordingly.
What AC brands does McMullen's install?
McMullen’s Refrigeration & Heating installs high-quality air conditioning brands suited to Central Alberta’s climate and the energy efficiency expectations of local homeowners. Their technicians are certified on leading manufacturers and will recommend the best brand and model based on your home’s cooling load, budget, and efficiency goals. Contact McMullen’s at (403) 342-1155 or through mcmullens.ca for a free consultation and to learn which brands and models they currently recommend.
Does a new AC installation come with a warranty?
Yes. New air conditioner installations by McMullen’s include both a manufacturer warranty on parts and a labour warranty on the installation. McMullen’s registers the manufacturer warranty as part of their installation process, ensuring full coverage from day one. Manufacturer warranties on new AC equipment typically range from 5 to 10 years on parts, with some manufacturers offering extended coverage on compressors. Ask McMullen’s for full warranty details on the specific model being installed in your home.
What SEER rating should I look for in a new air conditioner?
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures the cooling efficiency of an air conditioner. Higher SEER ratings indicate greater efficiency and lower operating costs. In Canada, the minimum SEER rating for new residential AC equipment is 13, but modern high-efficiency units often range from 16 to 25 SEER or higher. For Red Deer homeowners, a unit in the 16 to 20 SEER range typically provides the best balance between upfront cost and long-term energy savings. McMullen’s can help you calculate operating cost differences between efficiency levels.
Are there rebates available for new AC installations in Alberta?
Yes. Alberta homeowners may be eligible for energy efficiency rebates on new high-efficiency air conditioning equipment through programs such as the Canada Greener Homes Grant or utility-specific energy efficiency programs. Eligibility and rebate amounts vary by program and equipment efficiency rating. McMullen’s stays current on available rebate programs and can advise you on which incentives may apply to your specific installation to help offset the upfront cost of a new high-efficiency system.
How do I maintain my new air conditioner after installation?
To keep your new air conditioner running efficiently, McMullen’s recommends changing or cleaning the air filter every 1 to 3 months depending on usage and household conditions, keeping the outdoor condenser unit clear of debris and vegetation, ensuring registers and vents are unobstructed, and booking an annual professional maintenance service in the spring before the cooling season. McMullen’s offers AC maintenance plans to make annual servicing easy and ensure your investment is protected for years to come.
