Why You Need to Spot A/C Problems Early

When your A/C is on the brink, it doesn’t usually quit all at once. It starts with subtle warning signs that most homeowners miss. Recognizing these early can help you avoid costly repairs, heatwave breakdowns, or even full system replacement.

7 Warning Signs of a Failing Air Conditioner

Knowing what to look for can save you money and major headaches. Here are the most common signs your A/C is in trouble:

1. ❄️Uneven Cooling or Warm Air

If some rooms are hot while others are cool—or if warm air is blowing—your system might have airflow issues, dirty coils, or low refrigerant

2. 🌀A/C Runs Constantly

When your air conditioner doesn’t cycle off, it could be overworked, undersized, or dealing with a thermostat or refrigerant problem. This drives up your energy bills and wears out components faster.

3. 🎧 Weird Noises (Buzzing, Clicking, Grinding)

Strange sounds usually mean failing motors, loose parts, or electrical issues. A healthy A/C should be quiet—any new noise is worth checking out.

4. 💧 Water Leaks or Excess Moisture

Water around your indoor unit or vents means a clogged drain line or frozen evaporator coil. Left untreated, this can cause mold, drywall damage, or full system shutdown.

5. 📈 Rising Energy Bills

If your electricity costs are climbing and your usage hasn’t changed, a failing system may be working harder than it should. Dirty coils, worn motors, or low refrigerant all make your A/C inefficient.

6. 🌬️ Weak or Inconsistent Airflow

Poor airflow is often a blower motor issue, duct leak, or clogged filter. If your vents feel weak, it’s time to check the system.

VIVE™ 700 Series 5+1+1 Programmable Thermostat

7. 🚨 Frequent Thermostat Adjustments

If you constantly fiddle with the thermostat to stay comfortable, it might not be a you problem—it might be your A/C losing capacity.

 How to Fix It: A/C Tune-Up Services

A proper A/C tune-up includes:

  • Clean coils = stronger cooling

  • Check refrigerant = keeps air cold

  • Tighten connections = prevent shutdowns

  • Clear drain = stop water damage

  • Inspect blower = boost airflow

  • Test thermostat = precise temp control

  • Replace filter = clean, easy airflow

  • Inspect wear = avoid big repairs

How Tariffs Are Driving Up HVAC Costs in Canada (And What You Can Do About It)

Tariffs Are Driving Up HVAC Costs in Canada

800-375-8984

Book a Free Estimate

HVAC Equipment Prices Are Rising in 2025 — Here’s Why

Canada’s HVAC industry is facing major pricing pressure in 2025, with homeowners across the country experiencing the impact firsthand. Due to a combination of federal tariffs, regulatory shifts, and updated refrigerant standards, heat pumps, air conditioners, and high-efficiency systems are now significantly more expensive than they were just one year ago.

Understanding what’s behind these increases — and how you can avoid overpaying — is key if you’re planning any HVAC upgrades this year.

What Are These New Tariffs?

In response to shifting environmental policies and global trade dynamics, Canada has implemented new federal energy and import tariffs that directly affect HVAC equipment. These tariffs apply to a wide range of components and systems, including:

  • Heat pumps
  • Central air conditioners
  • Refrigerant-based systems
  • High-efficiency units

Manufacturers, including Carrier and other major brands, are now applying tariff surcharges to new equipment sold in Canada. These surcharges are passed down through suppliers and contractors, ultimately reaching the homeowner in the form of 8–20% price increases.

New Refrigerant and Efficiency Regulations Are Driving Costs Higher

In addition to tariffs, 2025 brings new regulations aimed at reducing the environmental impact of HVAC systems. These include:

  • Refrigerant phase-downs: Older refrigerants with high global warming potential (GWP) are being replaced with lower-impact alternatives. New systems must meet these stricter standards, increasing production and compliance costs.

  • Higher energy efficiency minimums: New SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) requirements mean manufacturers are redesigning systems with more advanced components — at a higher cost.

These regulatory changes, while environmentally beneficial, are putting further upward pressure on prices industry-wide.

Carrier Adds Tariff Surcharge in 2025

Carrier, one of the largest HVAC brands in North America, has officially added a tariff surcharge on most of its residential equipment sold in Canada. This includes:

  • Ductless and ducted heat pumps

  • Central air conditioners

  • Multi-zone systems

For many contractors, including Empower, this has meant a sudden rise in wholesale equipment pricing, with retail prices increasing accordingly.

 

Why Acting Now Saves You Money

Prices are expected to increase again in Q3 2025, driven by:

  • Further supplier cost adjustments

  • Higher freight and shipping rates

  • Ongoing shortages in high-efficiency components

Contractors across Canada are racing to secure existing inventory before the next round of increases. However, availability is tightening fast, and once pre-tariff stock is gone, the higher pricing will apply to all new installs.

How Empower Is Protecting Customers from Price Hikes

At Empower, we anticipated these industry-wide changes and secured equipment ahead of the tariff rollout. That means we can still offer pre-tariff pricing on select high-efficiency heat pump systems — but only while supplies last.

We’re extending this exclusive pricing to our loyal customers before the next round of hikes hits this summer.

✅ Heat pump systems from $3,999 or $38/month
✅ Up to $2,000 in rebates available
✅ FREE professional installation
✅ 10-Year Protection Plan included

How to Prepare Your Home for the Cooling Season: Save Energy & Boost AC Performance

How to Prepare Your Home for the Cooling Season: Save Energy & Boost AC Performance

Ontario homeowners—summer is creeping up, and with it, rising temps and energy bills. The good news? A little prep now can go a long way in keeping your cooling costs low and your home comfortable. Let’s break down how to prepare your home for the cooling season while saving energy and extending the life of your HVAC system.

Why Scheduling an AC Tune-Up is Non-Negotiable

  • Before the heat rolls in, booking your annual AC tune-up is essential. Not only does it ensure your system is running efficiently, but it keeps you compliant with manufacturer warranties.

    Benefits of an AC tune-up:

    • Boost system efficiency by up to 30%

    • Catch minor issues before they become costly repairs

    • Maintain eligibility for rebate programs

    • Extend equipment lifespan

    💡 Pro tip: Empower Home Comfort offers unlimited no-charge service calls and certified techs with every membership plan.

🧊 Home Prep Tips to Maximize Cooling Efficiency

Here’s how to prep your home and save money on your energy bills this summer:

1. Clean or replace your air filter

A clogged filter restricts airflow and forces your system to work harder, spiking energy usage.

 

2. Seal up any air leaks

Check around windows, doors, and attic spaces. Weatherstripping and caulking are low-cost, high-impact solutions.

3. Clear debris from outdoor units

Make sure your condenser has at least two feet of breathing room. Leaves, sticks, and dirt can choke your system.

4. Install a smart thermostat

Save up to 10% annually with programmable temperature settings based on your daily routine.

5. Close blinds during peak sun hours

Save up to 10% annually with programmable temperature settings based on your daily routine.

🚨 Don’t Forget: Tune-Ups Keep Your Warranty Valid

Here’s the real deal: if you don’t get your AC professionally serviced every year, you could be waving goodbye to your manufacturer’s warranty — and that’s a costly mistake.

Most major HVAC manufacturers, like Lennox, Goodman, or Carrier, explicitly state in the fine print that your system must receive annual maintenance by a certified technician. No exceptions. If something breaks down and you haven’t kept records of yearly service, your warranty claim could be denied. That means you’re footing the bill for parts, labour, and diagnostics — out of pocket.

And we’re not talking pocket change. A compressor replacement alone can run you upwards of $2,000–$3,000. That’s money that could’ve been covered… for free… if you had booked a simple tune-up.

Ready to upgrade your home comfort and save big? For a limited time, get 3 months FREE when you sign up for any of our Maintenance or Protection Plans!

Whether you’re looking to protect your furnace, A/C, or water heater, Empower Home Comfort has you covered—with no-charge service calls, 24/7 support, and energy-efficient upgrades that qualify for Ontario rebates.

Energy Costs in Ontario 2025 & How Homeowners Can Save Big

800-375-8984


Book a Free Estimate

Ontario homeowners saving energy with smart thermostat and insulation upgrades.

Rising Energy Costs in Ontario: What to Expect in 2025

Ontario homeowners are no strangers to fluctuating energy prices, and 2025 is shaping up to be another year where costs head upwards. According to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), residential electricity rates have been increasing at an average of 2-3% per year, with further increases expected in mid-2025 due to higher generation costs, carbon pricing, and infrastructure investments​.


Key Factors Driving Higher Rates

  • Carbon Pricing: As part of Canada’s climate action plan, carbon tax rates are climbing, directly impacting natural gas prices.
  • Grid Modernization: Investments in renewable energy, smart grid technology, and system upgrades are being passed on to consumers.
  • Global Energy Volatility: Supply chain disruptions and global demand shifts are contributing to higher wholesale energy prices.

In 2024, the average Ontario household paid roughly 13.1 cents per kWh, but projections indicate that by the end of 2025, rates could exceed 14.5 cents per kWh​. Natural gas prices are also expected to rise, with Enbridge and other suppliers forecasting a 5-7% increase in delivery rates.

What This Means for Homeowners

For the average homeowner in Ontario, higher energy costs translate into higher monthly utility bills, especially during peak seasons like winter and summer. A typical household could see annual increases of $150-$250 on electricity bills alone, not accounting for higher heating costs during winter.

Easy Ways to Cut Your Energy Costs in 2025

The good news? Homeowners can fight back against rising rates with simple, cost-effective upgrades and smart habits. Here’s how:

1️⃣Apply for Energy Rebates & Incentives

Take advantage of Ontario’s Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+), which offers:

Up to $10,000 in rebates for insulation, windows, and heat pumps.
Bonus incentives for completing multiple energy-saving upgrades.
Free energy audits to help homeowners find savings opportunities.
Pro Tip: Empower Home Comfort’s energy advisors can guide you through the rebate process to maximize your savings.

2️⃣ Install a Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats can save homeowners up to 10% on heating and cooling bills by automatically adjusting temperatures based on your schedule. Plus, programs like Enbridge’s Smart Thermostat Rebate offer up to $75 back when you install an eligible device.

3️⃣ Seal Air Leaks & Improve Insulation

An estimated 25-30% of home energy loss happens through poorly sealed windows, doors, and attics. Simple fixes like:

Adding weatherstripping.
Sealing cracks and gaps.
Upgrading attic insulation.
These can cut heating and cooling costs by up to 15%.

4️⃣ Upgrade to High-Efficiency Equipment

Consider replacing old furnaces, air conditioners, and water heaters with ENERGY STAR®-certified models. Many of these upgrades qualify for government rebates and offer:

20-30% lower energy use.
Better comfort and reliability.
Lower maintenance costs.
Empower Home Comfort’s $99 Complete Comfort Package can help you assess your home and recommend affordable upgrades.

5️⃣ Run Appliances During Off-Peak Hours
Ontario’s Time-of-Use pricing means you pay less for electricity during off-peak times (usually evenings and weekends). Running dishwashers, laundry machines, and charging devices during these hours can shave 5-10% off your bill.

6️⃣ Take Advantage of Free Home Energy Audits
A professional audit can uncover hidden energy waste and help you prioritize improvements. Homeowners can access free or low-cost audits through programs like Enbridge’s Home Efficiency Rebate and Empower Home Comfort’s energy advisory services.

Quick Hacks to Save Even More

Unplug unused electronics to avoid phantom power drain (up to $100/year savings).
Switch to LED bulbs — they use 75% less energy than incandescents. Clean HVAC filters regularly to improve efficiency by 5-15%.
Lower your water heater temperature to 49°C to cut water heating costs.

Stay Ahead of Rising Energy Costs with Empower Home Comfort

Rising energy prices are inevitable, but smart homeowners in Ontario can take control of their bills with the right strategies and expert help. From rebate assistance to energy-efficient upgrades, Empower Home Comfort makes it easy and affordable to keep your home comfortable and your energy bills low.

Is Your Home’s Air Contaminated? Hidden Pollutants You Need to Know About

800-375-8984

Book a Free Estimate

When most homeowners think about air pollution, they picture smog-filled skies or busy roads — but the truth is, the air inside your home could be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside.

Because homes are sealed tight for energy efficiency, pollutants that enter — or are created inside — have nowhere to go. Over time, they build up, creating a hidden threat to your family’s health.

Top Contributors to Poor Indoor Air Quality

1️⃣ Pets & Pet Dander
Even the cleanest pets shed hair and microscopic dander, which floats through the air and settles on furniture, floors, and even in your HVAC system. Over time, these particles build up, triggering allergies and respiratory issues — especially for sensitive family members.

2️⃣ Mold & Moisture Issues
Bathrooms, basements, and kitchens are common breeding grounds for mold spores, especially in homes with poor ventilation or past water damage. Mold releases airborne spores that can cause everything from mild allergies to more serious respiratory conditions if left unchecked.

3️⃣ Everyday Household Dust
No matter how clean you keep your home, dust accumulates — made up of skin cells, fabric fibers, pollen, and even tiny insect parts. It’s not just unpleasant — dust mites feed on it, and their waste is a major indoor allergen.

4️⃣ Cooking Smoke & Grease Particles
Whether you’re frying, grilling, or baking, cooking releases fine particles and grease aerosols into the air. Without proper ventilation or filtration, these particles stick to surfaces, build up over time, and contribute to poor air quality.

5️⃣ Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
VOCs come from products we use every day:

  • Paints & varnishes
  • Air fresheners & scented candles
  • Cleaning products
  • New carpets, furniture, & plastics

These chemicals off-gas into your home’s air, and prolonged exposure can contribute to headaches, respiratory irritation, and long-term health risks.

6️⃣ Outdoor Pollution Tracked Indoors
If you live near busy roads or industrial areas, vehicle emissions and fine particulate matter can get tracked in on shoes, clothes, and pets. Once inside, they circulate through your home’s air supply.

7️⃣ Inadequate Ventilation
Many modern homes are built air-tight, which is great for energy savings — but bad for air circulation. Without proper ventilation, stale air, humidity, and pollutants get trapped indoors, with nowhere to go.

How Poor Air Quality Impacts Health

Long-term exposure to these contaminants can trigger:

  • Asthma attacks & allergy flare-ups
  • Chronic coughing & respiratory irritation
  • Headaches, fatigue & poor sleep
  • Increased susceptibility to colds & infections
  • Worsening of pre-existing conditions like COPD

Solutions for Healthier Indoor Air

✅ MERV 11 Filter – Empower’s Best Line of Defense
The MERV 11 air filter, offered by Empower Home Comfort, is your home’s best defense against indoor pollutants. Unlike standard filters that only capture larger particles, MERV 11 filters trap:


✔ Pet dander & hair
✔ Mold spores & pollen
✔ Fine dust & allergens
✔ Smoke particles & cooking aerosols
✔ Certain bacteria & viruses

This high-efficiency filter works directly with your HVAC system, continuously removing pollutants before they circulate throughout your home, creating cleaner, healthier air for your entire family.

Order Now

Additional Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality

✅ Control Humidity – Use dehumidifiers in damp areas to discourage mold growth.

✅ M1-1056 MERV 11 Replacement Air Cleaner Filter can help Capture a high percentage of household airborne particles, including microscopic particles you can’t see.

✅ Ventilation Upgrades – Consider adding an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) or ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) to bring in fresh outdoor air without losing energy efficiency.

✅ Whole-Home Air Purifiers – For maximum protection, systems like the iWave Air Purifier can actively neutralize airborne particles, odors, and pathogens.

✅ UV Lights – Installed inside your HVAC system, UV-C lights sterilize air as it passes through your ductwork, helping to kill bacteria, viruses, and mold spores.

✅ Regular HVAC Maintenance – Annual inspections & filter changes help your system run clean, keeping pollutants from building up.
