Top Cooling Solutions
Ensuring the right temperature in your home is crucial for your well-being, productivity, and the overall condition of your residence. The comfort, health, and quality of sleep related to your circadian rhythm and body temperature are influenced by the temperature of your living space, which in turn affects your wellness, energy, appearance, and ability to concentrate, ultimately impacting your happiness and success at work. Additionally, excessive indoor heat can negatively affect your home by promoting the growth of organic materials such as mold. Furthermore, using a whole-home air conditioner when a dedicated ductless system would suffice results in energy waste and unnecessary expenses.
Even in Bragg Creek and its surroundings, summer temperatures can become extremely high, particularly when windows are shut due to smoke from fires. Given the heat we've experienced in recent years, is your home or current cooling system prepared for the inevitable heat? The team at Alberta Indoor Comfort is here to assist you in keeping your home or office comfortable during the upcoming heatwave. Our family-owned business, based in Bragg Creek, AB, has been offering dependable and cost-effective maintenance, repairs, and installation of new and upgraded air conditioning systems for nearly three decades throughout the area.
Until recently, one in four homes in the Bragg Creek area had air conditioning; however, due to the rising heat and smoke challenges in recent years, more homeowners are choosing to invest in cooling systems for their families' comfort in their residences, townhouses, and condos.
When it comes to cooling your home or home office, your initial thought might lean towards a central air conditioning system, but there are various options available to meet your comfort needs. The Alberta Indoor Comfort team excels at helping you select the right solution tailored to your specific requirements.
Let's review your potential choices:
WHOLE HOME AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION
Living in Bragg Creek area, you've most likely seen homes with central air conditioners which typically have a cube shaped, 2-3 feet long on each side, condenser located on the exterior of the home.
Central air conditioning uses an evaporator coil (located on top of your furnace/fan-coil), a condenser coil, and fan motor to push cold air throughout the house. When properly sized and in proper working order, central air conditioning can cool a home by 10-15 degrees. Central air conditioning systems use your home's furnace or fan-coil to push the cool air through your existing ductwork; for clarity, it is the blower in the furnace or fan-coil is what runs when air-conditioner comes on, not the entire furnace.
Heat is moved from the inside of your home to the outside using a refrigerant fluid.
This refrigerant is carried from the outside located condenser coil in the form of liquid to the evaporator coil where it is turned into gas as it absorbs the heat energy, cooling the surface of the evaporator coil where the air passes over it and becomes cold. Once the air is cooled, your furnace blower pushes it through the ventilation ductwork running throughout your house.

The advantage of a central system lies in its typical ease of installation and operation, as it usually only needs a single rotating condenser and an indoor evaporator. A downside is that it necessitates proper ductwork, and every room receives the same cool air, regardless of individual family preferences, which can lead to some rooms being overly cold or hot; additionally, cooling the whole house to meet the needs of one room (e.g., a bedroom) can be costly. Many homeowners encounter the issue of leaky ductwork, which, on average, can result in a loss of 35% of cold air before it reaches the intended space – however, we have a solution for that.

Ductless Mini-Split
- You may have noticed these mini-split systems during your travels, especially if you've taken a winter vacation in a sunny location while living in Alberta. Although they haven't been very popular in the area historically because of their perceived complexity, ductless mini-split air conditioning systems have been utilized globally for many years. Since these systems don't need ductwork to deliver cooled air, they can be installed in various areas of your home; they are also an excellent option for extensions, renovations, and cutting down on your utility expenses.
- Ductless mini-split air conditioning systems are excellent due to their ability to quickly cool an area, usually in under ten minutes. This feature makes them ideal for managing temperature fluctuations experienced by women undergoing menopause. Ductless mini-split systems can be found in both single zone and multi-zone setups. A single zone configuration connects one external condenser to a single evaporator coil or "head" inside your home, while multi-zone systems enable several evaporator heads to operate with one outside condenser.
- Each indoor head can be individually temperature controlled, allowing different rooms to maintain their own thermal environment.
Side discharge units for ductless mini-split exterior condensers typically have a more compact design compared to central air conditioning condensers, making them suitable for tighter spaces and smaller lot configurations.
Ductless mini-split systems come with various interior evaporator heads to meet your specific needs, including high wall units, one-way cassettes, ceiling-mounted four-way mini cassettes, floor/wall consoles, duct systems, or multi-position air handlers.
Samsung mini-split systems are also equipped with SmartThings automation, enabling you to connect all of your home’s systems through a single app on your smartphone.
MECHANICAL VENTILATION
- Not all homeowners aim to lower their home temperature to a comfortable range of 17-19 degrees Celsius, as some prefer the low to mid-twenties Celsius instead. Enter the “summer fan,” a concept that utilizes ventilation by bringing in fresh air from outside (make-up air) and/or cooler air from the basement, which is typically a few degrees lower than the desired space temperature. Generally, the summer fan method operates by using the blower from your furnace or air-handler to circulate the cooler supply air along with mixed return/make-up air throughout your home, creating a breeze that can make the indoor environment feel cooler. Among homes that already feature this capability, some have the fan-ON switch located near the furnace, while others incorporate the fan-ON function into their thermostat for convenience. Many homes lack this option because the initial installer may have prioritized cost savings. We can assist you in installing either of these options. The advantage of this ventilation method is its low investment, especially if you already have it available. However, one drawback is that this alternative might not provide the level of cooling that many of us desire, particularly for sleeping comfortably. Additionally, if the outdoor air is contaminated with pollen or smoke from fires, your home could become filled with particles that may cause breathing difficulties, as the fan is likely to be running continuously to achieve any cooling effect (unlike a properly sized air conditioner).
- A common issue that homeowners encounter, akin to central air conditioning, is that their ductwork has an average leakage of 35%, resulting in the loss of circulating air into the walls before it reaches the intended area. This often leads to the distribution of dust and pollutants drawn from inside the walls and ceilings throughout the rest of the house – but we have a solution for that.
AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
Majority of central air conditioning and many ductless mini-split systems come in a cooling-only configuration. A heat-pump system, a well proven advanced technology, in addition to cooling your space (similar to central whole home and ductless mini-split systems), also allows you to heat your home during cooler periods. For heating periods, certain heat pump systems are actually as high as 300% efficient, as compared to your high efficiency furnace running at only 97% efficient. You still keep your furnace to supplement during deep freeze, but over 90% of the year, the heat-pump provides sufficient heat at its very high efficiency.

Essentially, consider the heat pump as a cooling system that can also run in reverse to warm your home during the transitional spring and fall seasons, as well as a significant part of the winter, even in Bragg Creek, when utilizing maximum heating systems. In essence, you are investing in a two-way air conditioner which, when reversed, offers heating benefits; it’s akin to accomplishing two objectives at once while reducing utility costs.
Heat pump units are offered in both central configurations and ductless mini-split designs.
To clarify, the previous description pertains to air-source heat pumps, which exchange energy (heat) with the outside air, unlike ground source heat pumps that employ buried piping or wells in deeper soil and necessitate a much larger investment along with substantial changes to your yard. Both options are excellent, and we can assist you with either technology, keeping in mind that most homeowners tend to opt for air-source heat pump applications.
Portable A/C
A portable air conditioner is designed to conveniently cool the air in specific locations in your home, without the need for higher investment systems like discussed above. Portable cooling systems such as AC and evaporative coolers (next section) stand out for their compact size and easy portability, cooling small rooms and spaces.
Unlike fixed systems, a portable system does not require installation in a specific place (other than close to a window to reject heat) or permanent holes in walls, saving you installation costs.
While convenient for their speed of installation, portable air conditioning systems are seldom the best choice for homeowners since they are loud, more expensive to operate than permanent systems and require access to the exterior to dispose of the heat - picture six inch plastic pipes protruding to the outside, assuming that you have an openable window in the room to cool.
House/Ceiling Fans for Cooling
Well-placed fans may be sufficient to maintain some comfort during warm seasons, providing a breeze that makes the air feel cooler as compared to unventilated static, lingering air spaces. Opening your windows may provide supplemental cooler air for your fans to move throughout your home, especially during the night, however any smoke, allergens, smells or even noise then have a clear pathway into your home.
Window/Built-in Wall Air Conditioners
- Built-in wall air conditioners, often referred to as through-the-wall air conditioners, are cooling units designed for permanent installation within a wall of a particular room, usually located beneath windows—similar to those seen in some hotels. Unlike window air conditioners, they provide a more secure installation; however, this necessitates a sleeve or pass-through frame to be fitted into the exterior wall at the chosen installation site. Depending on the specific location, this pass-through may involve making structural alterations to the wall.
These built-in wall air conditioners come with a variety of advantages, particularly when compared to portable units. Nevertheless, the installation process for the built-in units is typically more complex. Additionally, when contrasted with ductless mini-split systems, built-in air conditioning units present significant benefits, such as higher cooling capacity, requirement for exterior wall placement, and lower noise levels. Generally, the built-in option requires a smaller investment than a ductless mini-split, unless modifications to accommodate the wall pass-through sleeve are necessary.
Evaporator Cooler
- In summary, maintaining the correct for you temperature in your home is essential for comfort, health, energy efficiency, property preservation, sleep quality, and humidity control. Choosing the appropriate cooling solution for your home is a decision that should balance the technical requirements of your unique home, regulatory and bylaw code requirements, your lifestyle desires and your expectations of your service provider including warranties, guarantees, technician expertise and background (criminal check, drug and substance use), respect for your home and timeliness of support to you.
Cooling Solutions You Can Trust
When Your Air Conditioner Needs Serviced
Many people don�t think about their air conditioner until it stops working, but did you know your air conditioner usually gives you signs saying it needs serviced? Here are five to know.
- Warm Air Blows – If your ac unit blows warm or hot air, it could be a damaged compressor or a leak of the refrigerant.
- Liquid Pooling – Any moisture or pooling of liquid around your ac unit shows a problem. Sometimes it can be minor such as a blocked drain tube, while other times it can be serious, such as leaking refrigerant.
- Banging or Grinding Sounds – Typical air conditioners run quietly, so if you notice any strange sounds such as whining, grinding or banging, it�s time to call in an air conditioning contractor.
- Foul Odours – The air coming out of your ac unit should be clean and fresh, so if it�s foul smelling, it means you have a problem such as mould build up.
- Different Room Temperature – Ideally, your ac unit should keep each room the same temperature, and if it�s not, it could be a problem with the thermostat.
- How to Maintain Your Air Conditioner
To keep your air conditioner in tip-top shape and lasting as long as possible, you must perform routine maintenance on it. Here are a few tips.
- Raise The Temps � If you raise the thermostat just one degree, you can save money on your energy bills and put less wear and tear on your system.
- Do Annual Inspection � Call a professional air conditioning contractor in every spring to perform maintenance and ensure your system is ready to go once summer arrives
