Read MoreIf you’re facing a frozen AC coil, there are a few things you can try. Start by setting your thermostat to high and fan only mode for a few hours. If this doesn’t work, it could be a more significant issue, such as a refrigerant leak or a dirty coil. In such cases, it’s best to book a diagnostic with the Pros.

When it comes to choosing a humidifier, Edmonton homeowners have two options:
Portable units are the cheapest option – they are easy to find and use and require no installation. However, most portable humidifiers can only maintain proper humidity levels in one or two rooms. As well, portable units require a lot of maintenance. This includes regularly filling the water reservoir and consistently cleaning the unit to maintain optimal air quality and minimize bacteria and viruses.
A whole-home system, although more expensive up front, requires much less maintenance and can maintain optimal humidity levels throughout your home.
For Edmonton homeowners, whole-home humidifiers (also known as furnace humidifiers or in-duct humidifiers) are the best option.
Whole home systems can be installed in residential homes with forced-air heating systems. These humidifiers use the air ducts and plumbing system to deliver consistent humidity levels. Best of all, once installed, a whole home humidifier will provide reliable home comfort without needing to lift a finger!
Some of the best whole-home humidifier brands in Edmonton include:
Yes—you definitely should! Even though your furnace isn’t heating your home during the summer, your HVAC system still uses the same ductwork and blower when you run your central air conditioner. That means your furnace filter is still working hard to trap dust, pollen, pet hair, and smoke particles—especially during Edmonton’s dry, dusty summers or wildfire season.
In fact, summer can be one of the most important times to stay on top of filter changes if:
You use central AC
You have allergies
You experience poor outdoor air quality (like wildfire smoke)
You have pets that shed
Not sure when to change it? Our Air Filter Delivery Add-On (available with ProComfort or ProHeating Memberships) makes it easy. We deliver the right filter size on your preferred schedule—so your home stays cool and your air stays clean, no matter the season.
Air circulation issues in your home? If you are experiencing this, check the vents in those warmer rooms. Vents bringing hot or cool air into the house winter/summer accumulate dust, pet dander, whatever, and should be vacuumed on a regular basis to ensure good air flow. At the same time make sure that your return air vents are not blocked by furniture or other items pushed up against them.
Yes! If you’re a ProComfort Dual or ProHeating Member, you can upgrade your plan with our Air Filter Delivery Add-On—designed to make clean air easy and automatic.
Here’s how it works:
You choose your filter size (we offer a variety to match your system)
We deliver a full case of filters right to your door
You set the delivery schedule based on your home’s needs—every few months, seasonally, or just once a year
Whether you’re dealing with allergies, pets, or just want to keep your system running efficiently, this add-on takes the guesswork out of remembering when to replace your filter. It’s one less thing on your list—and one more way we keep your home comfortable, year-round.

Want to know how much it will cost to install an HRV in your home? Call ProSolutions Inc. for a free, personalized estimate.
A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is worth installing in Beaumont - especially in a new home. In fact, the Alberta Building Code requires all new homes to have a ventilation system installed. HRV systems are extremely beneficial (and often required) because they help keep homes safe, healthy and energy efficient.
That said, not all homes will benefit from an HRV. Older homes, in particular, may not see as many benefits because they are not as air-tight as newer homes. For instance, the energy savings from an HRV will be limited in older homes.
Installing an HRV in a new, tightly sealed home will have the following benefits.
If you are building a new home, installing a whole-home heat recovery ventilator is one of the best investments you can make.
If you’re not sure whether an HRV is right for your home, give the ventilation system experts at ProSolutions Inc. a call. Our experienced HVAC technicians can help you decide if an HRV is right for you.
