Free In-Home Assessment: AC Installation in Port Moody
A central air conditioner from Eaton's Heating cools every room in the house through the ducts your furnace already uses. In Port Moody that means cool bedrooms upstairs in July and a living room you can use on an August afternoon. We start with a free in-home assessment and a written quote, and as an authorized Trane dealer we install Trane, RunTru by Trane, and KeepRite systems. The matched indoor coil, the line set, the drainage, the electrical work, and removal of the old unit are all included. Financing is available at zero percent over 12 months. We have installed air conditioning across Port Moody for more than 20 years.

Nearly every home in Port Moody was built with a furnace and no cooling, so central air here is usually an addition rather than a replacement. That makes the install simpler. The ducts, the registers, and the blower are already in place, and the job is the outdoor condenser, the indoor coil that sits on top of the furnace, the copper line set between them, a drain for the coil, and the electrical supply to the condenser. The free in-home assessment is where we look at all of that: the furnace and its blower, where the line set can run, where the condenser can sit, and what the electrical panel has room for. The written quote that follows covers the whole job, whether it is an air conditioner replacement or a first-time installation. Equipment, labour, and materials are in one number.
As an authorized Trane dealer we install Trane's current central air conditioners, from single-stage units to variable-speed models that adjust their output to match the heat outside rather than running flat out, along with a low-profile unit for tight side yards. RunTru by Trane and KeepRite give you a reliable single-stage system at a lower price. Every system comes with an indoor coil matched to the outdoor unit, because an unmatched coil is the most common reason a new air conditioner underperforms. Sizing is done from experience with the house in front of us: the floor area, the windows and which way they face, the insulation, and how the house has felt in past summers. Trane systems carry a 10-year parts warranty.
The homes on Heritage Mountain and in Heritage Woods were built for the view, so the large windows face south and west over the inlet and take the afternoon sun directly. Those homes carry a heavier cooling load than their square footage suggests, and the upper floor warms first. The Klahanie, Suter Brook, and Newport Village townhomes are the opposite: shared walls, a smaller footprint, and a condenser that has to fit a side yard or patio. Glenayre and College Park houses usually have the shortest line set runs, with the furnace in the basement and a level side yard right outside. Each kind of home gets sized and placed differently, and the Port Moody HVAC services we have provided for more than 20 years include the placement and electrical decisions that come with each one. Eaton's Heating is TSBC licensed (LGA0200006), a Home Performance Contractor Network member, and holds a 4.9 rating across 400-plus Google reviews.
Install day runs in a set order. The condenser goes on a level pad, the coil goes onto the furnace, the line set is run and insulated, the drain is connected, and a certified electrician runs the dedicated circuit and installs the outdoor disconnect. Then the system is charged, started, and tested before we leave. If an old condenser is coming out, it leaves with us. Most Port Moody installations are finished in a single day, and financing at zero percent over 12 months is arranged at the quote so nothing is left to sort out afterward.
Half of a central air conditioner is inside the house. The indoor coil sits on top of the furnace in the airstream, and it is where the air actually gets cold. Refrigerant boils inside the coil, pulls heat out of the air the blower pushes through it, and carries that heat out to the condenser. A coil that is too small for the outdoor unit, or one built for a different refrigerant, cannot absorb as much heat as the condenser can reject, so the system runs long and cools less than its rating says it should.
That is why every system we quote includes a matched coil, sized to the outdoor unit and to the furnace it sits on. The furnace matters too. Its blower moves the air across the coil, and a furnace past 20 years with a worn blower motor will limit what any new air conditioner can do. We check the blower at the assessment and tell you plainly whether the furnace is fine, needs a motor, or is close enough to the end of its life that replacing both at once makes more sense. The air conditioning systems we install are quoted as a whole for that reason, coil and condenser together, so the number you get is for a system that performs as rated.

Most central air installations here are finished in one day. The condenser, the coil, the line set, the drain, and the electrical all go in on the same visit, and the system is running before we leave. The jobs that stretch past a day are the ones with a long line set, a condenser that has to sit far from the furnace, or an electrical panel that needs work first. We tell you at the assessment which kind of job yours is.
Trane is the choice when you want the quietest unit, the variable-speed option that adjusts its output to the weather, and the longest track record, and it is what we install most. RunTru by Trane is built by the same company with a simpler single-stage design, and it is the right pick when the budget matters more than the extras. KeepRite is the other single-stage option we trust, and we quote it where it fits. At the assessment we will tell you which one suits your house rather than pointing you at the most expensive unit, and if two would work, the written quote shows both.
Yes, and that is how nearly every Port Moody installation goes. The coil goes on top of the furnace, the furnace blower moves the air, and the ducts carry it. A furnace under 15 years old with a working blower is fine as it is. If your furnace is older than that, or has a single-speed blower that runs loud, we will say so at the assessment, and you can look at furnace replacement options alongside the air conditioning so both are done once and matched to each other.
A heat pump is an air conditioner that also runs in reverse to heat the house, so the installation is nearly identical and the equipment costs more. In Port Moody the choice usually depends on whether you want to cut the gas heating bill and whether a rebate applies. The CleanBC and FortisBC rebate programs direct their funding toward heat pumps rather than air conditioners, and as a FortisBC Trade Ally we confirm your eligibility during the assessment rather than promising an amount. If cooling is the goal and the furnace is staying, central air is the lower-cost route. Our heat pump installation page and our BC rebates page lay out the other side.
Quieter than most people expect, and the outdoor unit is the only part you hear. A variable-speed Trane running on low is about as loud as a refrigerator, and the low-profile unit is the one we recommend where the condenser has to sit close to a patio or a bedroom window. Placement does the rest: the unit goes on a solid, level pad, away from the room you sleep in and away from the neighbour's, with clear space on every side so the fan does not have to work against a fence. Indoors, the coil adds no noise at all. The blower you hear is the same furnace blower you already have.
If the unit is under 12 years old and the fault is a capacitor, a contactor, or a fan motor, AC repair in Port Moody is the right call and costs a fraction of a new system. Replacement makes sense when the compressor has failed, when the unit runs on the older R-22 refrigerant, or when a repair bill would be a meaningful share of a new system. The assessment is free either way, and we will tell you which one you are looking at.
