My apologies for not having group buy pricing for the 2013 cooling season sooner. Please see the below posting for the 2012 group buy from last year. We anticipate pricing and discount structure to be the same. We will have the 2013 posting available soon.
Please let us know if you have any questions at all.
Best Regards,
Craig Newhouse

Hey guys, I know it's a little too early but I want to start a group buy on A/C for next summer. It's usually busy booking these guys in Spring so I want to secure a spot with Craig from Four Seasons Comfort Inc.
This will be my 2nd A/C unit with him done by Craig and his price was not only the best but the quality of work was top notch!
You can see the feedback yourself.

Hi Rocky,
It was my pleasure speaking with you yesterday morning. I would be pleased to provide you with some information regarding a AC group buy for yourself and members of your community in Milton. We are glad to see you are being proactive in getting this organised prior to the peak season in the summer!
It is very important that the AC unit is sized properly prior to installation. If a AC unit is undersized it will run continuously without reaching set point particularly during peak hours. If the AC unit is oversized it will short cycle meaning it will run and turn off continuously resulting in warm pockets of air in the home. We have installed AC units in every model of home in Milton, just let us know which builder and model and we can look up the appropriate size AC unit.
Here may be some of the additional information we may require in determining how to correctly size the AC unit with each individual home.
Square footage(not including the basement)
Ceiling height main level and upstairs
Exposure(does the home back North, South, East, or West)
Is there a lot of large windows in the home?
In terms of SEER rating (seasonal energy efficiency ratio), determines how efficient you AC unit is or how much electricity it consumes. The higher the seer the more efficient the AC. Our cooling season in southwestern Ontario is typically only 3-4 months of the year therefore I would not recommend installing a super-efficient high seer AC unit as the initial capital cost will take a long time to pay off especially with a short cooling season. For most of our clients I would typically only recommend a AC unit with a seer rate no higher than a 15 seer.
Here are some information we will require to determine what seer rating is best for our clients.
- Do you have an existing inefficient AC unit(if so there are rebates available if we remove an old AC unit and install a 14.5 seer or greater).In a new subdivision this is usually not the case.
- How long to you plan to be in your home? (If our clients plan to be in the home for a short period 5 years or less we would recommend a 13 seer, more than 5 years a 14.5 seer as you will see a return on your investment)
- Would you be consider a heavy user? Do you set the AC in May and run it until September without turning it off? Or would you only use the AC on the hot humid days?
- What temperature would you keep your home during the cooling season? Do you prefer a colder setting or just enough to remove some humidity from the air.
There are many different manufactures of AC units available in the market today. There are premium products available which are sold and installed through a dealer network that technicians must be factory trained on installation and service and all technicians must be licenced and certified. There are a long list of mid- range product lines as well as builder quality product lines that can be sold to any HVAC company. I would be pleased to discuss the differences of the various product lines available.
At Four Season Comfort Heating & Cooling we recommend the premium American Standard/Trane line of products. We have installed hundreds of systems within the GTA and us along with our clients have been very satisfied with the quality and reliability of this product line. Other product lines are also available as well!
Here is some pricing on the American Standard/Trane line of 13 and 14.5 Seer AC units. This pricing includes complete installation with wall mounted brackets and 15ft of copper lineset. Warranty is 10 years parts & 5 year labour.
American Standard 13 Seer
Deluxe Model (gray unit)
1.5 ton $2225.00 installed
2.0 ton $2300.00 installed
2.5 ton $2450.00 installed
3.0 ton $2600.00 installed
3.5 ton $2800.00 installed
4.0 ton $3000.00 installed
American Standard 14.5 Seer
1.5 ton $2450.00 installed
2.0 ton $2500.00 installed
2.5 ton $2650.00 installed
3.0 ton $2800.00 installed
3.5 ton $3000.00 installed
4.0 ton $3200.00 installed
Group Buy pricing is as follows:
10 AC units deduct (95.00 per unit)
11-25 AC units deduct( $115.00 per unit)
26-50 AC units deduct (155.00 per unit)
These prices are subject to HST. However, if you pay by cash Craig will provide further discount on top of the group buy discount. Please let him know your method of payment when you are giving him the deposit.
In order to participate in this group buy we require a $250.00 deposit prior to May 01, 2012 which may be made by check or interac email money transfer . Once this deposit is received we will send an invoice showing the deposit has been received and a tentative installation date. This deposit secures your pricing as well as your installation date. On May 02, 2012 we will determine how many participants we have in the group buy and apply the necessary discount to the invoice. If the AC has been installed and paid for prior to May 02/12 we will return the applicable group buy discount to our client.
We would recommend the Honeywell line of humidifiers as well. The group buy pricing on the Honeywell HE225 for homes up to 3000sq ft is $325.00 installed. The Honeywell HE 265 for homes 3000sq ft – 4500sq ft is $395.00 installed.
In terms of air cleaners I would recommend using a 3M filter for the first 6 months of your occupancy. I would not recommend making an investment on an indoor air quality system initially unless you are certain the ducts are clean. Once most of the construction debris has been removed from your ductwork I would recommend the Accuclean system which does not restgrict air circulation like many of the media filters and other systems.
I hope I have given you enough information in order for you to start this process.
Please let me know if you need anything else. Please let me know if you have any questions!
