Air Conditioning Service, Repair, and Installation in Delta, Surrey, Richmond, and White Rock

When the weather gets warm, your home should be a comfortable place to relax. A properly sized air conditioning system can help keep your home cool, improve indoor comfort, and make summer days much easier.

At Acorn Service Group, we install, service, and repair air conditioning systems in Tsawwassen, Ladner, North Delta, Richmond, White Rock, Surrey, and nearby areas. Whether you are looking to cool one room, upgrade an older system, or add air conditioning to your whole home, our team can help you choose the right option.

Ducted vs. Ductless air conditioning systems

Central (ducted) air conditioning systems: Central air conditioning offers whole-house cooling, and, with the addition of air-louver-control boxes, offers moderate, multi-zone temperature control capability.

In central air conditioning, the inside cooling coil is typically placed inside the central furnace/AC unit of your forced air heating system, where it distributes chilled air throughout your home in summer using your existing ductwork

Ductless air conditioning systems: Ductless systems can supply chilled air to a single room or several rooms in a home, depending on whether they are split, or multi-split systems. A split system uses a single indoor unit and a single outdoor unit, and is useful for cooling one zone inside your home. A multi-split system attaches several indoor units to an outdoor unit, and can cool an entire house, using a remote to program individual temperature settings in each zone.

How Ductless and Central Air conditioning systems work

Ductless (Individual Air Conditioning)

Indoor units are placed in each room for individual heating and cooling. Each one can be connected to its own outdoor unit (split system), or up to five indoor units can be connected to a single outdoor unit (multi-split system).

Each indoor unit operates independently to enable individual temperature settings.

Ducted (Central Air Conditioning)

Air is sent through ducts from one central location to heat and cool all rooms.

All rooms are air conditioned uniformly at the same temperature settings.

Other advantages of ductless air conditioning systems include:

Required inside wall space is significantly reduced
Compressor and condenser can be located farther away from the inside space for noise reduction
Flexible exterior hoses that lead from the outside unit to the interior one(s) can be enclosed with metal to look like drainpipes
High energy efficiency, reaching above 30 SEER(the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio).
High performance, anywhere from 9,000 to 36,000 Btu (9,500–38,000 kJ) per hour of cooling

Air Conditioning FAQ

Do you repair air conditioning systems?

Yes. Acorn Service Group repairs air conditioning systems that are not cooling properly, making noise, leaking, or not turning on. We will inspect the system and explain your repair options before work begins.

How often should an air conditioner be serviced?

Most air conditioning systems should be serviced once a year, ideally before the warmer weather arrives. Regular maintenance helps improve cooling, reduce breakdowns, and keep the system running efficiently.

Is ductless air conditioning a good option for older homes?

Yes. Ductless air conditioning can be a great fit for older homes, additions, suites, garages, and rooms that are hard to cool. Since it does not require ductwork, installation is often less invasive than adding a full ducted system.

How do I know what size air conditioner I need?

The right size depends on your home’s layout, square footage, insulation, windows, and comfort needs. Our team can review your space and recommend an air conditioning system that is properly sized for your home.

Can air conditioning help with humidity in my home?

Yes. A properly sized air conditioning system can help remove extra moisture from the air while it cools your home. This can make your space feel more comfortable during warm and humid weather.

Michael Malin

Thoughtful Professional Service

We just had an enjoyable experience with our Acorn service technician Nick who visited our home and reviewed, advised, and today replaced our downstairs powder room toilet. It looks great and was the best choice. Nick was careful, efficient and was thinking of us as homeowners and how it ultimately looked when completed. He is a nice person and was a good listener with thoughtful replies. We are very pleased, thank you Nick and Acorn.

Greg Ward

Reliable and Professional Service

I have used Acorn for a number of years both personally at my home and professionally as a property manager and always received excellent service. Most recently was Shawn, Josh, Jayden and Nick. They repaired my shower, replaced the PRV and installed frost free hose bibs. Today Nick re did all the plumbing under my kitchen sink to drain properly. Soon we plan to complete a duel system furnace/ heat pump and tankless hot water system. They are friendly, professional, resourceful, and quick to reply from start of the call with their office staff to service with the technicians. I highly recommend.
