Air conditioner installation in Richmond — ductless mini-splits, central AC and heat pumps for every home type, by HeatLand’s licensed team since 1999.
AC installation for Richmond homes
Richmond’s housing stock spans 1970s–90s single-family homes and townhouses (many with forced-air furnaces) to newer high-rise condos near Brighouse. Richmond’s delta location and humid summers make cooling a genuine comfort necessity, and HeatLand has been installing cooling systems in Richmond since 1999.
Homes Without Ductwork
Ductless heat pump mini-split — single or multi-zone. Minimal disruption, done in a day. Qualifies for BC rebates.
Homes With Forced-Air Furnace
Adding central AC to your existing ductwork is often the most cost-effective option. We verify duct capacity before proceeding.
Condos & Strata
Mini-splits are the standard option for strata properties. We advise on strata approval requirements and choose compact, quiet models.
Laneway Homes & Suites
Stand-alone mini-split systems sized for secondary suites — independent control, no shared system.
Most cooling systems HeatLand installs in Richmond today are heat pump mini-splits — they cool in summer and heat in winter, and qualifying models attract BC rebates from CleanBC, BC Hydro and FortisBC.

What type of AC is best for a Richmond home?
Richmond has a mix of older single-family homes (often with forced-air furnaces), newer townhouses and high-rise condos. For homes with existing ductwork, adding central AC is often most cost-effective. For older homes and condos without ducts, a ductless mini-split is the right choice. HeatLand assesses your home before recommending.
How much does AC installation cost in Richmond?
A ductless mini-split installation in Richmond typically costs $2,500–$5,500 for a single zone. Central AC added to an existing system ranges from $3,500–$7,500+. Heat pump rebates from CleanBC and BC Hydro can reduce the net cost by $1,000–$3,500+ for qualifying systems.
Does HeatLand pull permits for AC installation in Richmond?
Yes — City of Richmond mechanical permits are required for HVAC installations. HeatLand manages the permit process as part of every installation.
Is a heat pump a good choice for Richmond’s climate?
Very good. Richmond’s mild winters make heat pumps ideal as a primary heating and cooling system. The city’s humid microclimate means efficient dehumidification from the AC mode is a real comfort benefit in summer.
