Our Process
From First Visit to a Fully Commissioned Mini-Split System
1. In-Home Ductless System Assessment and Sizing
We begin with a detailed walkthrough of your home to understand your heating and cooling needs and plan where the indoor and outdoor units will be positioned. We measure each room, check insulation levels, note window placement and solar exposure, and assess your current heating setup (furnace, electric heat, baseboards). Using industry calculations specific to ductless systems, we determine the correct cooling and heating capacity (measured in BTU) your system should deliver to keep your space comfortable year-round without wasting energy.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Mini-Split Installation
Installation costs vary based on system capacity, how many indoor units you need, and whether we're upgrading existing ductwork. We provide a detailed estimate after an in-home assessment, explaining every cost. Financing is available through FinanceIt, and you may qualify for rebates from FortisBC or other provincial programs that we'll help you apply for.
Mini-splits don't require ductwork—the outdoor compressor connects directly to wall-mounted indoor units via small refrigerant lines. No ductwork means quieter operation, zone-by-zone comfort control, and often lower installation costs if you don't already have ducts. Mini-splits also heat and cool, while traditional AC only cools. Ductless systems are ideal for rooms without ducts or where you want independent temperature control.
Most single-zone installations take one full day (6–8 hours). Multi-zone systems or installations requiring significant wall work may take two days. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we've assessed your space. The exact duration depends on how much wall routing is needed and whether you're replacing an existing system.
No. BC electrical code and refrigerant regulations require licensed contractors. DIY installation voids manufacturer warranties, creates safety and legal risks, and typically fails inspection. We handle all permitting, electrical work, refrigerant certification, and commissioning—work that's code-required and protects your investment.
Mini-splits don't use ductwork—they operate with refrigerant lines running from the outdoor compressor to wall-mounted indoor units. If you have existing ducts for a furnace, they're unaffected. A mini-split can work alongside your furnace, replacing your AC unit, or operating independently. We'll assess your space and recommend the best setup for your home.
No. Ductless systems are quiet by design—they run at lower noise levels than traditional air conditioning because the compressor is outdoors and inverter technology keeps the system running smoothly without constant cycling. Most homeowners report that their mini-split runs so quietly they barely notice it's on.
High-efficiency mini-splits can achieve SEER ratings of 20+ for cooling and HSPF ratings of 8+ for heating—significantly better than older central AC or window units. Efficiency comes from inverter technology, which adjusts compressor speed to match demand rather than cycling on and off. Better efficiency means lower energy bills.
Yes, if you install a multi-zone system with separate indoor units in different rooms, each unit can be set to its own temperature independently. This gives you zone comfort—one room can heat while another cools, or one person's preference can differ from another's without affecting the whole system. Single-zone systems control one space.
With proper installation and regular maintenance, ductless systems typically last 15–20 years. Inverter compressors are durable, and there's no ductwork to degrade. Regular maintenance catches wear early and extends system lifespan by keeping components clean and properly charged. Neglected systems fail sooner.
Absolutely. Modern inverter mini-splits extract heating efficiency even in subzero temperatures and deliver reliable heat down to –15°C or lower. Many BC homeowners use mini-splits as their primary heat source year-round, backed by a furnace for rare extreme cold if needed. Inverter technology is designed for northern climates.
