Central Air Conditioners
All new AC units now use low-GWP R-32 refrigerant. The choice is staging: single-stage cools in one gear, while two-stage and inverter units run longer on low for better humidity control, quieter operation, and lower bills.
Runs mostly on low stage, so it removes more humidity and runs quieter than a single-stage unit — the difference between "cold" and "comfortable" on a muggy July afternoon. The popular middle pick.

An AC tune-up isn't glamorous work, and we're not going to oversell it. What it does is straightforward: it catches the small, cheap problem now, in the spring, instead of leaving you to find it during the first heat wave in July when every HVAC company in the GTA is booked solid. Most of the no-cool calls we run in summer trace back to something a tune-up would have flagged months earlier.
An annual service is also where the year's wear actually gets looked at. Your AC sits idle through the fall and winter, then runs hard for a few months straight. Over a season the outdoor coil packs with dirt and cottonwood fluff, a slow refrigerant leak quietly drops the charge, and the capacitor that fires the compressor weakens a little more each summer. None of that is obvious from the thermostat — the system keeps cooling right up until the day it doesn't.
Relica Comforts does AC tune-ups across the Greater Toronto Area up to Barrie and through Simcoe County. We service all the common brands — Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Trane, Daikin, Rheem — and the technician comes out with the tools to test the system properly and handle the small fixes on the spot.
What's Included in Our AC Tune-Up
Condenser Coil Cleaning
The outdoor coil is how your AC dumps heat outside. When it packs with dirt, leaves, and cottonwood fluff, the system can't shed heat well — so it runs longer and hotter to do the same job. We clean it back to bare fins.
Refrigerant Charge Check
AC doesn't burn refrigerant, so if the charge is low, there's a leak. Low charge wastes energy, strains the compressor, and can ice up the indoor coil. We measure the charge and look for where it's going.
Capacitor & Electrical Check
A weak capacitor is the single most common cause of a mid-summer no-cool call — and it's cheap to catch before it strands you. We test it along with the contactor and the wiring connections.
Filter & Airflow
A clogged filter chokes airflow, drops cooling capacity, and lets the indoor coil ice over. We replace it, check the blower, and tell you the right filter and how often to change it.
Condensate Drain
Cooling pulls humidity out of the air, and that water has to drain somewhere. A clogged condensate line backs up, can damage what's below it, and trips the safety shut-off. We clear it and confirm it drains.
Temperature Split Test
We measure the air going into the system against the air coming out. A proper split tells us the system is actually cooling — not just running and moving air around.
Compressor Amp Draw
The compressor is the expensive part. We read its electrical draw to catch a system working harder than it should before that wear turns into a failure during a heat wave.
Thermostat Check
We confirm the thermostat reads accurately and cycles the system properly. A miscalibrated or failing thermostat can make a perfectly healthy AC short-cycle or run too long.
Our AC Maintenance Process
Book Your Spring Service
Call or book online and we'll find a time that works. April and May fill up first, so it's worth getting on the schedule early.
The Tune-Up
The technician cleans the coil, checks the charge, tests the electrical parts, clears the drain, and runs the system to confirm it's cooling properly — about an hour at the home.
A Straight Report
We tell you what we found in plain terms. If something needs attention, you hear about it now, with a quote — not as a breakdown in August.
AC Maintenance — Real Work
Why Spring Is the Best Time
Your AC sits idle for six to eight months of the Ontario year. Over that stretch a capacitor can weaken, connections can corrode, and a slow refrigerant leak can quietly drop the charge — none of it visible until you ask the system to run. A spring tune-up finds those things while it's still a scheduled fix on a mild day, not an emergency on the hottest one.
Timing matters for booking, too. Once the first real heat arrives, HVAC companies fill up with breakdown calls and the wait gets long. Service it in April or May and you get a faster, easier appointment, and the system is ready before you actually need it.
Between visits there's a short list that's genuinely yours to do, and it makes a difference. Check the filter monthly through the cooling season and change it when it's dirty. Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, weeds, and grass clippings so it can breathe. And once or twice a summer, shut the power off at the disconnect and gently rinse the outdoor coil with a garden hose on low pressure — never a pressure washer, which bends the fins. The refrigerant, the electrical work, and the deep clean we'll handle on the annual visit.
