A great air conditioner isn't just about cooling - it's about efficiency, longevity, and the right fit for your home. Our experts don't just install units; we engineer cooling solutions designed to keep you comfortable while cutting your energy costs.
Learn what cooling can be like only with Alpine.
Regular maintenance keeps your system running at peak efficiency, extends the life of your equipment, and catches issues before they shut down on the hottest day of the year.
Alpine offers maintenance packages that include filter changes, refrigerant checks, electrical inspections, and a written report. It's a small investment in long-term comfort and savings.
When your system fails, we don't just patch the problem - we identify the root cause. Our technicians carry an extensive parts inventory to complete most repairs in a single visit, minimizing disruption to your comfort.

Don't let a small issue become a big one. Whether you're installing a new unit, booking a tune-up, or dealing with an urgent repair, we're here to keep your home cool and comfortable. On your schedule, at a fair price.
Installing a new air conditioning system is a significant decision that begins long before any equipment arrives at your home. At Alpine, we follow a thorough approach to ensure your system is sized correctly, installed properly, and running optimally from Day One.
One of our Red Seal certified technicians visits your home to inspect your existing system, evaluate your home's layout, and review your existing ductwork or potential for a ductless install in the rooms you want cooled most.
We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact cooling capacity your home requires. Then we provide a written proposal with everything itemized, no surprises. Once you sign, we schedule your installation at a time that works for you.
Our team installs your new system with attention to every detail. Refrigerant lines brazed and pressure-tested, electrical connections made to code, condensate routed properly, thermostat installed and configured. We test the entire system before we leave.
Before we leave, we run a full commissioning check. We verify air flow, refrigerant charge, electrical draw, and thermostat operation, and walk you through the system controls so you know exactly how to operate it.
Choosing the right cooling system depends on your home's layout, existing infrastructure, and comfort goals. Here's how the two most popular options compare for Fraser Valley homeowners.
Central AC uses your home's existing ductwork to distribute cool air evenly through every room. It's the ideal choice if your home already has a forced-air furnace with ducts in good condition.
Ductless systems deliver cooling directly to individual rooms through wall-mounted indoor units connected to an outdoor compressor. They're perfect for homes without ductwork, additions, or rooms that are hard to cool.
Not sure which is right for you? An Alpine technician will assess your home and recommend the best fit for your specific situation.
Deciding between repairing and replacing your air conditioner comes down to three key factors: age, efficiency, and repair costs. Most central air conditioning systems last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching or past that range, replacement often makes more financial sense than sinking money into an aging system.
Efficiency decline is another important signal. If your energy bills have been steadily climbing even though your usage hasn't changed, your system is likely losing efficiency. Modern units with higher SEER ratings can reduce cooling costs by 20 to 40 percent compared to systems installed 10 or more years ago.
A practical rule of thumb: if a repair costs more than 50 percent of the price of a new system, replacement is the smarter investment. Additionally, if you're facing frequent breakdowns - two or more per cooling season - your system is telling you it's time. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment and never push a replacement when a simple repair will do.
