Expert Air Conditioning for Scarborough Homes

Scarborough summers are getting hotter. With temperatures regularly exceeding 30 degrees Celsius and humidity making it feel even worse, a reliable air conditioning system is no longer a luxury for Scarborough homeowners — it is a necessity. Whether you live in a detached home in Agincourt, a townhouse in Malvern, or a bungalow in West Hill, Megacity Heating & Air Conditioning has the right cooling solution for your space and budget.

We install both central air conditioning and ductless mini-split systems across all Scarborough neighbourhoods. Central AC is the ideal choice for homes that already have ductwork from an existing furnace, providing whole-home cooling at a consistent temperature. For older Scarborough homes without ductwork, or for additions and finished basements, ductless mini-splits offer zone-by-zone cooling without the expense of installing new ducts.

Choosing the right AC system involves more than just picking a brand. Our technicians perform a proper load calculation for your home, factoring in square footage, insulation levels, window exposure, and ceiling height. An oversized AC cools too quickly without removing humidity, leaving your home clammy. An undersized unit runs constantly without reaching your target temperature. We size it right so your home stays cool and comfortable all summer.

Our central AC installations range from $3,500 to $5,500 depending on the unit size and SEER efficiency rating. We recommend a minimum of 16 SEER for Ontario, which uses about 25% less electricity than baseline 14 SEER models. For homeowners looking to maximize efficiency, we offer systems up to 21 SEER. Every installation includes a manufacturer warranty, our workmanship guarantee, and a post-install comfort check.

FAQs

AC Installation Questions — Scarborough

How much does AC installation cost in Scarborough?
A central air conditioning installation in Scarborough typically costs between $3,500 and $5,500 depending on the system size, SEER rating, and whether ductwork modifications are needed. Ductless mini-split systems start from $3,000 for a single zone. We provide free in-home estimates with detailed, upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
What is the best SEER rating for a Scarborough home?
For Scarborough homes, we recommend a minimum of 16 SEER for a good balance of efficiency and cost. A 16 SEER unit uses about 25% less energy than the minimum 14 SEER. For maximum efficiency and the lowest cooling bills, consider 18-21 SEER models. Higher SEER units cost more upfront but pay for themselves in 3-5 years through lower Hydro bills, especially with Scarborough summers getting hotter each year.
Should I choose central AC or a ductless system for my Scarborough home?
If your Scarborough home already has ductwork from your furnace, central AC is usually the most cost-effective choice at $3,500-5,500 installed. For homes without ducts — common in older Scarborough bungalows — a ductless mini-split is the better option, avoiding the $5,000-10,000 cost of adding ductwork. We assess your home and recommend the most practical and affordable solution.
How long does an AC installation take?
Most central AC installations in Scarborough are completed in a single day, typically 4 to 8 hours. This includes setting the outdoor condenser, connecting refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, thermostat setup, and full system testing. Ductless mini-split installations for a single zone take 3 to 5 hours. Multi-zone ductless systems may take 1 to 2 days.
