Air Conditioning / Heat Pumps: 778-841-0474
Traditional central heating and cooling systems provide comfort by cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. However, they aren’t a viable option for every household or commercial space. If you have an older property without ducts, a centralized heating and cooling system could prove impossible to install. If you have a smaller space to temperature control, a standard heat pump may not warrant the cost. To solve these different environmental needs, we can install ductless mini splits and heat pumps. A ductless mini split offers an individual fan and evaporator unit for each room, or a chosen room.
This ductless system allows you to better control the temperature of each room and the rooms that are not being used regularly, as they can be turned off to save energy. This room-to-room control system allows you to lower energy costs and save on your electricity bills. They offer a simple, effective and efficient method of cooling and heating your home.
A ductless heat pump is an energy-efficient heating and cooling system that functions without an internal ducting system to maintain the temperature of a home or office space. It does not produce cool or hot air, but transfers it from one area to another to maintain a desired temperature level. By removing heat from indoors and transferring it outside, it keeps your house cool in the summer. In the winter, heat pumps draw out cooler air from the outside, warm it, and flow the air inside. With this system, the temperature is regulated by refrigerants, and through a cycle of evaporation and condensation.

The installation of a ductless heat pump, or mini split, unit is something you shouldn’t try and do by yourself. Our technicians are red seal certified, licensed, bonded and insured. With th4ese credentials and training, we ensure your installation job is done flawlessly.
The first step in choosing the right ductless unit is to consider the size of your room. If you aren’t sure, ask us, we are here to help you find the right solution for your space and budget. Once an option is chosen and purchased, the indoor unit is installed on the room’s wall adjacent to the exterior of the building. A pipe will connect to the outdoor section of the unit. You can decide to place the outdoor section on the ground, a wall, or on your rooftop. This process is followed by wiring and activating an electrical connection to switch on the unit, which our experienced technician will look after.
