Quality Ductless Mini Split Installation Services in Nanaimo and Across Vancouver Island

What Are Ductless Mini Splits?

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. 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.

Looking to Install a Ductless Mini Split at Your Home or Office?

The installation of a ductless mini split unit isn’t just a time-laborious job, but it is also something you shouldn’t try and do by yourself. Our technicians are red seal certified, as well as licensed, bonded and insured. Make sure you have your ductless mini split installed by a professional.

The first step in choosing the right ductless mini split 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 a mini split is chosen, 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 your mini split on the ground, have it securely fastened to a wall, or installed to your rooftop. This process is followed by wiring and activating an electrical connection to switch on the ductless mini split, which our experienced technician will look after.

How Much Does It Cost to Install a Ductless Mini Split?

When you are planning to install a ductless mini split (or a few mini splits) in your Nanaimo or Vancouver Island home, it is important for you to consider the following points as they might affect your installation cost:

• The total number of rooms where mini split systems need to be installed.

• The efficiency of your mini splits to provide even coverage across the room.
• Energy-efficient or manufacturer rebates available.

Another factor that can affect your mini split’s installation cost is, of course, who you hire. Contact us for safe, budget-friendly installation of your ductless mini split in Nanaimo, or across surrounding areas of Vancouver Island.
