Beat Winnipeg's summer heat with professional AC installation, repair, and maintenance from Bridgewater Plumbing & Mechanical.
Winnipeg may be known for its brutal winters, but summer temperatures regularly push past 30 degrees Celsius, with humidex values climbing even higher. After months of enduring the cold, the last thing you want is to suffer through a sweltering July without reliable air conditioning. Bridgewater Plumbing & Mechanical Inc. provides full-service cooling solutions for Winnipeg homes and businesses, from brand-new installations to same-day AC repairs and proactive seasonal maintenance.
Our HVAC technicians are trained on all major air conditioning brands and system types. Whether your home has existing ductwork or you need a ductless solution for an older Winnipeg character home, we design and install the right system to keep every room comfortable without wasting energy or money.
Central air conditioning remains the gold standard for whole-home cooling in Winnipeg. We install high-efficiency central AC systems that integrate seamlessly with your existing furnace and ductwork. Our installation process begins with a detailed assessment of your home's square footage, insulation levels, window exposure, and duct condition to ensure we select a properly sized unit. An oversized system short-cycles and wastes energy; an undersized one struggles on the hottest days. Getting it right matters, and that is where our expertise makes the difference.
When your air conditioner stops blowing cold air on the hottest day of the year, you need fast, reliable service. Our technicians respond promptly to diagnose and repair all common AC problems, including refrigerant leaks, compressor failure, frozen evaporator coils, faulty capacitors, and electrical issues. We arrive prepared with a well-stocked service vehicle so most repairs are completed during the first visit, getting your home back to a comfortable temperature as quickly as possible.
Many older Winnipeg homes in neighbourhoods like Crescentwood, Old St. Boniface, and West End were built without ductwork, making traditional central air installation impractical or prohibitively expensive. Ductless mini-split systems are the ideal solution. These versatile units mount on the wall or ceiling and deliver powerful, whisper-quiet cooling to individual rooms or zones. They are also remarkably efficient, often outperforming central systems in energy consumption.
The best way to avoid a costly AC breakdown in the middle of a Winnipeg heat wave is to schedule annual maintenance before summer arrives. Our comprehensive tune-up service includes cleaning the condenser and evaporator coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, testing the thermostat, and clearing the condensate drain. Regular maintenance can extend your system's lifespan by years, improve cooling performance by up to 15 percent, and keep your energy bills predictable.
If your air conditioner is more than 12 to 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant (which is being phased out in Canada), or your energy bills keep climbing, it may be more cost-effective to replace rather than repair. Our team provides honest assessments and will never push a replacement when a repair makes more sense. When replacement is the right call, we help you choose a modern, energy-efficient system that pays for itself through lower operating costs.
