Why Choose an Air Conditioner?
The main benefit of air conditioning might be obvious: cool, comfortable air in the Summer. Nevertheless, in this section, we’ll go over the top reasons why an A/C is a wise investment for your Nanaimo home.
Cool & comfortable living space
Air conditioning ensures that your home is cool and comfortable during hot summer months. You can enjoy a good night’s sleep and relax in a cool and comfortable space.
Improved air quality
Air conditioning units have filters that can help to remove impurities and pollutants from the air. This means that the air inside your home will be cleaner and fresher, which is especially important for those with allergies or respiratory issues.
Increased home value
Installing air conditioning in your home can increase its value, making it more attractive to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell your home.
Energy efficiency
Modern air conditioning units are designed to be energy efficient, which means that they use less energy to operate. This translates to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
Versatility
Air conditioning can be installed in various types of homes, including single-family homes, apartments, and condos. There are also different types of air conditioning units available, such as ductless mini-split systems, central air systems, and portable air conditioners.
Year-round comfort
While air conditioning is primarily used during the summer months, many units also have heating capabilities. This means that you can use your air conditioning unit to cool your home in the summer and warm it up during the winter, providing year-round comfort.

Jeff identified a potentially hazardous venting set up in our house and was able to fix it and install a new water heater (which we needed) on time and on budget. We are thankful because he was the only company that identified and informed us of this potentially catastrophic situation.
I would highly recommend West Temp for anyone looking for an honest professional who completes work quickly and to a very high standard.
