Our Cooling Solutions
Heat pumps are an energy-efficient way to cool your home in summer and heat it in winter, offering a cost-effective, all-in-one solution. By moving heat instead of generating it, they keep your home comfortable with lower energy costs.
At Service 1st Heating and Cooling, we install high-quality heat pump systems designed for homes in Cambridge and surrounding areas. Our experienced team will help you choose the right model and ensure it’s professionally installed for long-lasting performance.
Ductless AC

Ductless A/C systems (mini-splits) are perfect for homes without ductwork or for cooling specific rooms.
They offer flexible, energy-efficient comfort with easy installation and quiet operation. Ideal for additions, older homes, or areas with uneven temperatures, ductless systems let you control cooling room by room.
Service 1st installs high-performance Bryant® ductless systems backed by expert advice and professional installation.

Central air conditioning keeps your whole home cool with even, consistent airflow through ductwork. It’s a great choice for larger homes or anyone wanting whole-home comfort with a single system. Service 1st offers expert installation of Bryant® central air systems, ensuring maximum efficiency and long-term reliability for Ontario homes.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or installing central air for the first time, our team will assess your home’s specific needs and recommend the best solution for optimal comfort and energy savings.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions: Home Cooling Solutions
A: It depends on your home’s size, layout, insulation, and existing infrastructure.
