Are you shopping for a new air conditioner in the Toronto area? Don’t worry if you’re unsure where to start; there are so many options that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

In 2025, over two-thirds of Canadian households used air conditioning or similar cooling equipment to offset the summer heat, and Ontario households led the country at 83%.

A cool home isn’t a luxury here anymore. It’s simply how we get through a hot, humid Ontario summer. Since 1974, we’ve helped GTA homeowners choose and install the right cooling solution for their space and budget.

This guide walks you through the best air conditioners for a Canadian summer: our top picks for 2026, how central and ductless systems stack up, which brands we trust, and how to size the right unit for your home.

Best Air Conditioners in 2026
Every brand says its air conditioner is “the best”.

To cut through that noise, it helps to compare the top models side by side with what actually matters: efficiency, warranty, and price. Below are four models we sell and install across Toronto and the GTA, each the strongest pick in its category.

One number that comes up a lot when you shop is the “SEER2”, which rates how efficiently an air conditioner cools over a full season.

It’s the current version of the older SEER rating, and with both, a higher number generally means lower electricity use for the same cooling and thus, lower running costs.

Recommendation Name Type Cost Efficiency (SEER2) Warranty
Best Overall Carrier Infinity (26VNA1) Central, variable-speed $$$ up to 21 10-yr parts or 5-yr parts with 3-yr labour (Consumer Choice, with registration)
Best Budget Lennox Merit (ML17KC2) Central, two-stage $ up to 18 10-yr parts (with registration; 5-yr base)
Best Energy-Efficient Lennox Signature (SL25KCV) Central, variable-capacity $$$ up to 26 10-yr parts and compressor
Best Ductless Carrier (40MPHB) Ductless mini-split, single-zone $$ Varies by pairing (ENERGY STAR) 10-yr parts (with registration)
Best Overall Air Conditioner: Carrier Infinity (26VNA1)
Performance™ 18 Heat Pump with InteliSense™ Technology
If you want the best all-around balance of comfort, efficiency, and quiet, the Carrier Infinity is our top pick.

Its variable-speed compressor runs anywhere from 25 to 100% capacity, so instead of blasting on and off, it makes small adjustments to hold a steady, even temperature.

That same variable-speed operation is excellent at removing moisture from the air, which is exactly what you want in a humid GTA summer. You get up to 21 SEER2, sound levels as low as 55 decibels, Carrier’s Greenspeed intelligence, the newer lower-emission R-454B refrigerant, and ENERGY STAR certification.

Add the Consumer Choice Warranty and Carrier’s SmartHome app control, and it’s a premium unit that earns its place.

Best Budget Air Conditioner: Lennox Merit (ML17KC2)
ML17XP1 HEAT PUMP
The Lennox Merit is the practical, wallet-friendly way into reliable central cooling.

It uses a two-stage compressor, so it can run at a lower setting most of the time and only ramp up on the hottest days, balancing comfort against your energy bill. You get up to 18 SEER2, ENERGY STAR certification, the 2025-compliant R-454B refrigerant, and a Quantum coil built to stand up to our weather.

That said, budget units run louder than premium ones. The Merit can be as low as 73 decibels, louder than the whisper-quiet range of the top tier. If value and dependable cooling matter more than the quietest possible operation, this is a smart buy.

Best Energy-Efficient Air Conditioner: Lennox Signature (SL25KCV)

When lowest running costs are the goal, the Lennox Signature is the efficiency leader on this list at up to 26 SEER2, one of the highest ratings you can buy.

Its variable-capacity compressor with Precise Comfort technology fine-tunes cooling in tiny increments, keeping temperatures rock-steady, sipping energy, and quietly managing humidity through the muggiest weeks of summer.

It runs as low as 58 decibels, carries ENERGY STAR certification and the R-454B refrigerant, and is backed by a 10-year limited warranty on the compressor and covered components.

If you plan to stay in your home for years, the higher upfront cost tends to pay you back in lower monthly bills.

Best Ductless Air Conditioner: Carrier (40MPHB)
No ductwork? No problem.

The Carrier 40MPHB is a single-zone ductless mini-split that cools a specific room or area without any ducts at all, which makes it ideal for additions, finished basements, condos, sunrooms, or that one space your central system never quite reaches.

It’s remarkably quiet (as low as 29 decibels), ENERGY STAR certified, and comes with a built-in humidity sensor and an occupancy sensor that aims airflow toward or away from where people actually are.

With Wi-Fi on applicable configurations, it’s covered by a 10-year parts warranty with registration. Its exact SEER2 depends on the outdoor unit it’s paired with, so this is one where a quick chat with us pins down the right match.

Top Air Conditioner Brands
Carrier and Lennox are the two brands we install most often, and both make excellent air conditioners.

The differences show up at the edges: top-end efficiency, how quietly they run, and where each brand’s sweet spot sits on the price scale. Here’s a side-by-side look at the models we featured above.

Feature Carrier Lennox
Top Efficiency (SEER2) up to 21 (Infinity 26VNA1) up to 26 (Signature SL25KCV)
Budget Range Mid-range to premium Low-cost to premium
Ideal Homeowner Wants strong humidity control and smart-home features Wants class-leading efficiency, or a budget-friendly entry
Warranty 10-yr parts (Consumer Choice, with registration) 10-yr parts and compressor (Signature); 5 to 10-yr (Merit)
Sound (dB) as low as 55 as low as 58
Variable Speed? Yes (Infinity) Yes (Signature)
Pro tip: A variable-speed or variable-capacity compressor doesn’t just save energy; it runs longer at low speed, which removes far more humidity from the air than a basic single-stage unit. In an Ontario summer, where the humidity is just as much a problem as the heat, that’s the difference between “cold but clammy” and genuinely comfortable.

Carrier
Recognized as one of the founding names of modern air conditioning, Carrier pairs excellent humidity control with a strong smart-home ecosystem. Its Infinity line brings variable-speed comfort, Greenspeed intelligence, and app-based control, which makes it a great fit if you want a quiet, precise, connected system. Browse our full range of Carrier air conditioners to see the options we install.

Lennox
Lennox is the efficiency leader of the two, with its Signature series reaching up to 26 SEER2, one of the highest ratings available anywhere. It also spans the widest price range, from the value-focused Merit tier up to the premium Signature line, so there’s a Lennox for most budgets. Take a look at our Lennox air conditioners to compare tiers.

Is Ductless or Central Air Conditioner Better For Your Home?
Ductless and central air conditioners both work by alternately evaporating and compressing a refrigerant to produce cool air.

However, central air usually consists of a large outdoor compressor unit and indoor air handler(s), circulating cooled air through the same ducts your furnace uses.

Ductless air conditioners consist of a smaller compressor unit (usually mounted on an exterior wall) and one or more wall-mounted air handlers in the area(s) to be cooled. They do not require ductwork.

Choosing which type of air conditioner is best is a very personal decision, based on your home and your cooling preferences. Central air conditioning and ductless units each have areas where they shine and others where they’re not so strong.

Cooling
Even if you have a large home, central air conditioning can provide cooling throughout.

While many ductless air conditioners (single-zone units) are designed to cool only 1 room, multi-zone units can cool multiple rooms with different temperatures for each zone.

Retrofitting
Central air is fine for retrofitting if you already have ductwork in place for a forced-air furnace, or if you have enough space in your attic or basement to install new ducts.

However, ductless systems are simple to retrofit just about anywhere and are also an excellent way to install air conditioning in new additions to your house.

Pro tip: Are you about to install central AC? Have your old ductwork cleaned and repaired first; you’ll increase efficiency and decrease airborne contaminants like dust and mould in your home.

Noise
A central air conditioner’s outdoor compressor unit can be on the noisy side. Ductless air conditioners are much quieter.

Appearance
Central air conditioning is less visible in your living area.

The indoor air handler is down in the basement with your furnace, and the compressor is outdoors (where you can hide it with a fence or plantings, while still allowing room for airflow and access for HVAC techs).

Ductless AC is more obvious, although some designers integrate it cleverly into the room décor.

If you decide a central air conditioner is best for you, you’ll want to make sure you know how to landscape around your new AC unit.

Cost
The cost to buy central air conditioning is usually lower. Ductless AC is more expensive to purchase, but you save on both the fast, simple installation and the ongoing energy costs to operate this system.

What About A Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a great option when you’d like a ductless system that combines both heating and cooling.

However, heat pumps start losing heating efficiency when the outdoor temperature is below 4° Celsius. In our chilly Canadian climate, they are best used as an energy-saving supplement to another home-heating method, such as a gas furnace.

For Canadian-approved units, check out our best cold climate heat pumps guide.

Is Energy Efficiency Important To You?
A central air conditioner system is less energy-efficient than a ductless air conditioner.

The good news is that air conditioning technology has advanced enormously over the past decade, creating central AC that is much more energy-efficient than it was 10 or 20 years ago. Look for an Energy Star certified central system.

Ductless air conditioners are the clear winner in terms of energy efficiency for 3 reasons:

Efficient use of electricity
Efficient circulation of cooled air
No leakage, as there would be with ductwork (ductwork can leak up to 30% of your cooled air)
Do You Want Multiple Cooling Zones?
“Zoning” your AC lets you set different temperatures and independent cooling schedules for different areas of your house.

To zone a central air conditioner system, you will have to modify your existing ductwork. This involves installing dampers to create different temperature zones.

Ductless is usually more convenient if you’d like to zone your cooling. All you’ll need to do is connect several indoor air handlers to your outdoor compressor unit.

What Size Air Conditioner Do I Need For My Home?
Correct sizing is one of the most vital steps in choosing the right central air conditioner for your home.

To determine the right size, a general rule of thumb is that you will need 20 British Thermal Units (BTU) of cooling per square foot. You’ll also need to consider:

Layout of your existing ductwork.
Amount and quality of home insulation.
Climate conditions. In the Greater Toronto Area, summers tend to be very hot and unpleasantly humid, so you’ll want AC that can properly dehumidify your home. The “micro-climate” of your house also makes a difference; a home with many west- or south-facing windows will get hotter than one with just a few windows, facing north or east.
Landscaping. If you have many mature trees surrounding your home, they will shelter the building from strong sun or wind. This also affects your cooling needs.

If you are shopping for a new air conditioner in Toronto or the GTA, the first question you need to answer is: what size do I actually need?

Most homeowners assume bigger is better. It is not.

An oversized air conditioner will cool your home too quickly, shut off before removing humidity, and leave your house feeling cold and clammy. It also raises your electricity bill and shortens your system’s lifespan.

The goal is a properly sized system that runs in steady cycles, keeps your home consistently comfortable, and controls humidity all summer long.

Use the sizing calculator below to estimate your ideal AC size. Then, when you’re ready, get a free in-home quote to match that size to the right system and price.

Already know your square footage? Get a fast quote on a properly sized AC.

2026 Air Conditioner Sizing Calculator by Square Footage
Air conditioner capacity is measured in tons and BTU (British Thermal Units). One ton equals 12,000 BTU per hour of cooling output, so a 3-ton system produces 36,000 BTU per hour.

The industry standard guideline for southern Ontario homes is roughly 20 BTU per square foot, assuming decent insulation and standard 8-foot ceilings. The table below uses that formula to match home square footage to approximate tonnage and BTU capacity.

Home Size (sq. ft.) AC Size (Tons) Cooling Capacity (BTU)
600 to 1,000 1.5 18,000
1,000 to 1,300 2.0 24,000
1,300 to 1,600 2.5 30,000
1,600 to 2,100 3.0 36,000
2,100 to 2,400 3.5 42,000
2,400 to 3,000 4.0 48,000
3,000 to 3,600 5.0 60,000
The chart above gives you a strong starting point. For example, most homes around:

1,500 sq. ft. requires a 2.5-ton AC
2,000 sq. ft. requires a 3-ton AC
2,500+ sq. ft. requires 4- to 5-ton AC
However, most homeowners go wrong because they stop at the chart and guess.

In reality, two homes with the same square footage can need completely different AC sizes depending on insulation, windows, layout, and more.

Factors That Affect AC Sizing in Ontario Homes

A square footage chart gets you in the right ballpark, but every Ontario home is different. Here are the variables that can increase or decrease your cooling requirement from the chart estimate.

Ceiling Height
The table above assumes standard 8-foot ceilings. If your home has 9-foot, 10-foot, or cathedral ceilings, there is significantly more air volume to cool, and you may need to move up a half-ton or more.

Number & Type of Windows
Large, south-facing or west-facing windows let in substantial solar heat during summer afternoons.

Older single-pane windows are far less efficient at blocking that heat than modern double- or triple-pane windows. More windows, or older windows, mean a heavier cooling load.

Quality of Insulation
A well-insulated home with sealed air gaps holds cool air much more effectively than a drafty older home. Homes built before the 1980s or with uninsulated attics often need more cooling capacity than our table suggests.

Number of Storeys
Heat rises. A two-storey home concentrates heat on the upper floor, affecting both the total cooling load and the distribution of air through the ductwork.

Bungalows and split-level homes have different cooling profiles than multi-storey homes, even at the same square footage.

Ductwork Condition
Leaky ductwork can reduce heating and cooling efficiency by up to 20%, regardless of how well-sized the HVAC system itself is. If your ducts are original to an older home, their condition will factor into the sizing calculation.

Occupancy & Internal Heat Sources
A household of five generates more body heat than a household of two. Homes with large kitchens that see heavy cooking, multiple computers, or server equipment also produce internal heat that the AC must offset.

Sun Exposure & Landscaping
A home surrounded by mature shade trees stays noticeably cooler than a home on an open lot with full-sun exposure all day. The orientation of the home and how much direct sunlight hits the walls and roof both play a role.

The Importance of a Professional Manual J Load Calculation
A square footage chart is a helpful starting point, but it cannot account for the real conditions inside your home.

That is where a professional load calculation comes in.

In Canada, HVAC technicians use the CSA F280 standard (the Canadian equivalent of ACCA Manual J in the United States) to calculate your home’s exact cooling requirements. This process evaluates:

Room-by-room square footage and ceiling height
Insulation levels in walls and attic
Window size, type, and sun exposure
Air leakage and ductwork performance
Local climate conditions in the GTA
Internal heat from people and appliances
The result is a precise BTU requirement rather than an educated guess.

This matters because choosing the wrong AC size can cost you thousands in higher energy bills, reduced comfort, and premature system failure. For sizing, Natural Resources Canada states, “Do not rely on simple rules of thumb for sizing, but insist on a thorough analysis from the sales representative.”

At Husky Air, our NATE-certified, TSSA-licensed technicians perform a full in-home assessment before recommending any system. This ensures your AC is sized correctly the first time.

We measure the actual conditions, not just the floor plan, because the right answer for a 2,000-square-foot home in Vaughan with modern windows and spray-foam insulation is very different from the right answer for a 2,000-square-foot home in Scarborough with original 1970s windows and fibreglass batts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 2-ton air conditioner big enough for a 1,500 sq. ft. house?

In most cases, a 1,500-square-foot home falls in the 2.5-ton range (approximately 30,000 BTU). A 2-ton unit would likely be undersized unless the home has exceptional insulation, minimal window area, and significant shade coverage. However, a professional load calculation is the only way to confirm the exact requirement.

What happens if my air conditioner is too big for my house?

An oversized AC short-cycles; it turns on and off every few minutes rather than running in steady, efficient cycles. Short-cycling also wears out the compressor and other components faster, increasing AC repair costs and shortening the system’s lifespan.

What happens if my air conditioner is too small?

An undersized air conditioner runs constantly on hot days and may never reach your set temperature. This non-stop operation drives up your energy bill, puts excessive wear on the system, and leaves certain rooms (especially upper floors and sun-exposed areas) uncomfortably warm.

What does “Ton” mean in air conditioning?

In HVAC terminology, one “ton” of cooling capacity equals 12,000 BTU per hour. The term originates from the era of ice-based cooling, when one ton referred to the amount of heat absorbed by melting one ton (2,000 pounds) of ice over a 24-hour period. Today, it is purely a unit of measurement for cooling output.

Do two-storey homes need a larger air conditioner?

Not necessarily a larger unit, but they do need careful sizing and proper ductwork design. Heat rises, so the upper floor of a two-storey home typically experiences higher temperatures than the main level. A professional load calculation can ensure the right equipment is selected. For homes with persistent hot-and-cold floor issues, a ductless mini-split can also supplement a central AC system to target specific zones.

How Can I Reduce Indoor Humidity?
woman-sweating-from-humidity
If you live in the GTA, you already know how brutal summer humidity can get. That heavy, sticky air doesn’t just stay outside; it seeps into your home, making it feel clammy, uncomfortable, and harder to cool.

If you’re already dealing with persistent humidity, your best long-term solution may be a whole-home dehumidifier or a professional AC diagnostic to ensure your system is pulling its weight on moisture removal.

High indoor humidity isn’t just about comfort. Once levels climb above 50%, they create the perfect environment for mould growth, musty odours, condensation on windows, and even long-term damage to drywall and wood.

According to Health Canada, the ideal indoor relative humidity in the summer is below 50%, with the optimal range between 35% and 50%. This range keeps your home comfortable, protects your air quality, and prevents moisture-related damage.

If your home feels damp right now, here’s how to reduce indoor humidity, starting with quick fixes and working toward permanent solutions.

Quick DIY Ways to Lower Humidity in Your House
Before calling a professional, there are a few simple ways to reduce humidity in your home during summer.

These can help, but if they don’t make a noticeable difference within a few days, the issue is likely tied to your HVAC system.

Run Your Exhaust Fans Longer
Your bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans are your first line of defence.

Most people shut them off the moment they step out of the shower or finish cooking. Keep them running for 15 to 20 minutes afterward. That extra time allows residual moisture to clear before it spreads through your home.

Take Slightly Cooler Showers
Long, hot showers pump steam directly into your home’s air. You do not need to switch to cold water. Just dialing the temperature down a few degrees makes a noticeable difference, especially in a small bathroom with limited ventilation.

Fix Leaking Pipes & Faucets
Every drip adds moisture. Look for stained drywall, wet spots under sinks, and unexplained spikes in your water bill. Wrap exposed cold-water pipes with foam insulation to prevent condensation from forming on their surfaces.

Improve Ventilation
If the weather permits, crack a window in the room that feels the most humid, but only when the outdoor humidity is lower than the indoor humidity. On a hot, muggy July afternoon in Toronto, opening your windows will make things worse, not better.

Relocate Indoor Plants Temporarily
Houseplants release moisture through transpiration. If you have a lot of greenery, group it in a single well-ventilated room, or move your plants outside for the summer.

Dry Laundry Outdoors
Hanging wet clothes on an indoor drying rack adds a surprising amount of moisture to your air. A backyard clothesline or outdoor drying rack keeps that moisture where it belongs. Check your local bylaws first, as some neighbourhoods have restrictions.

How Your Central AC Acts as a Dehumidifier
Common AC Repair issues
Your air conditioner doesn’t just cool your home; it also removes moisture.

As warm air passes over your AC’s evaporator coil, moisture condenses and drains away. A properly sized and functioning system should remove a significant amount of humidity during summer.

That is why regular air conditioner maintenance matters. A dirty filter, low refrigerant, or a clogged condensate drain all reduce your system’s ability to pull moisture from the air.

If your AC is running constantly but your home still feels humid, you are likely paying higher energy bills because your system is not removing moisture properly.

The most common causes include:

Oversized AC Unit

An oversized system cools your home too quickly, shutting off before it has time to remove moisture. This leads to short cycling and a cold, clammy feeling.

Aging Equipment

Older systems lose efficiency over time. They may still cool the air, but struggle to manage humidity, especially during peak summer conditions.

Low Refrigerant or Maintenance Issues

Low refrigerant, dirty coils, or clogged drains reduce your system’s ability to dehumidify effectively.

These issues don’t just affect comfort; they increase wear and tear, reduce system lifespan, and drive up your cooling costs.

If this sounds familiar, a professional AC diagnostic or tune-up can often restore your system’s dehumidification performance without needing a full replacement.

The Ultimate Solution: Whole-Home Dehumidifiers & HRVs
Carrier Dehumidifier
While DIY fixes help at the margins, your AC handles most of the heavy lifting. If you live in a home where humidity is a persistent, year-after-year battle, especially in your basement, the real answer is a whole-home dehumidifier.

Portable Dehumidifiers vs. Whole-Home Systems
Most people start with a portable dehumidifier from the hardware store. These work in a single room but are noisy, require constant emptying, and do nothing for the rest of the house.

A whole-home dehumidifier is a completely different solution. It ties directly into your existing HVAC ductwork and treats the air throughout your entire home.

These units install beside your furnace or air handler, pull moisture from the air as it circulates, and drain automatically. You set your target humidity on the control, and the system maintains itself.

However, the benefits of a dehumidifier go beyond comfort. Homeowners often find they can raise their thermostat’s cooling (AC) setting by a few degrees and still feel just as comfortable. Since the air is drier, it feels cooler, meaning that your air conditioner doesn’t need to run as often, leading to lower energy bills.

Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs)
A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is another tool worth considering, especially in newer, tightly sealed homes.

HRVs bring in fresh outdoor air and remove stale indoor air, while recovering heat energy in the process. During the transitional periods (spring and fall), when the AC is not running enough to dehumidify, an HRV helps manage moisture by exchanging humid indoor air for drier outdoor air.

For homes with serious humidity problems, the best approach is often a whole-home dehumidifier working alongside an HRV and a properly maintained AC system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal indoor humidity for a house in summer?

Health Canada recommends keeping indoor relative humidity below 50% in summer, with an optimal range of 35-50%. Above 50%, you are creating conditions where mould, dust mites, and condensation can become problems. A simple hygrometer from your local hardware store will tell you exactly where your home stands.

Will running the AC fan “ON” instead of “AUTO” increase humidity?

Yes. When set to AUTO, the fan only runs during cooling cycles, allowing moisture on the coil to drain away. When set to ON, it runs continuously and can blow that moisture back into your home. For better humidity control, keep it on AUTO.

Why does my basement smell musty even with the AC on?

Cool basement air cannot hold as much moisture as warmer upstairs air, so relative humidity tends to be higher down there, even when the rest of the house feels fine. Add in concrete walls that absorb ground moisture, and you have a recipe for that musty smell. A whole-home or dedicated basement dehumidifier is usually the best fix.

How much does a whole-home dehumidifier cost installed?

Installed costs for a whole-home dehumidifier typically range from about $1,500 to $3,500, depending on the unit’s capacity, your existing ductwork, and the complexity of the installation. Contact Husky Air for a free, no-obligation quote.

Is a dehumidifier better than an air conditioner for cooling a room?

They do different jobs. An air conditioner lowers the temperature of the air, while a dehumidifier removes moisture from the air. However, because dry air feels cooler than humid air at the same temperature, running a dehumidifier alongside your AC can make your home feel more comfortable without lowering the thermostat.
