The best cooling solution depends on your home's existing infrastructure, your budget, and your comfort goals. Here's a quick guide:
Central Air Conditioning
Best for homes with existing ductwork. Provides whole-home cooling through your furnace's blower and duct system. Efficient and effective when ductwork is properly sized and sealed.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Ideal for homes without ductwork, additions, or specific rooms that need cooling. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, allowing for zone-based comfort. Popular for older Winnipeg homes and rural properties.
Heat Pumps
Provide both heating and cooling from a single system. Modern cold-climate heat pumps can efficiently heat homes even at -25°C, making them increasingly popular in Manitoba. Available in both ducted and ductless configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add AC to my home if I don't have ductwork?
Absolutely! Ductless mini-split systems are designed exactly for this situation. They require only a small hole in the wall for the refrigerant lines and can be installed in almost any home. We've helped many homeowners in older Winnipeg neighbourhoods enjoy AC for the first time.
How long does a central AC system last?
With proper maintenance, a quality central air conditioning system typically lasts 15-20 years. Regular filter changes and annual professional maintenance help maximize lifespan and efficiency.
Do heat pumps work in Manitoba winters?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed to work effectively in temperatures as low as -25°C to -30°C. While they may need backup heat on the coldest days, they can significantly reduce heating costs for much of the winter while providing AC in summer.
