Why does HVAC cost more in Calgary than other cities?

Calgary's extreme climate demands higher-capacity, more robust HVAC equipment than warmer cities. Cold-climate rated systems, proper low-temperature installation practices, and code compliance for Alberta winters all affect pricing. The good news is that high-efficiency equipment in Calgary pays back faster due to the high heating demand.
