AC Installation in Burnaby — HeatLand Heating & Cooling

Air conditioner installation in Burnaby — ductless mini-splits, central AC and heat pumps installed correctly for every Burnaby home type, by HeatLand since 1999.

AC installation for Burnaby’s diverse homes

Burnaby’s housing stock ranges from postwar bungalows and 1960s split-levels to dense high-rise towers in Metrotown and Brentwood Park. Each housing type has different installation requirements — and different opportunities for rebate-eligible heat pump systems. HeatLand has been installing cooling systems across Burnaby since 1999 and knows every housing type in the city.

Heat pump installation in Burnaby

Most AC installations HeatLand does in Burnaby today are heat pump systems — they cool in summer and heat in winter, and qualifying models attract substantial BC rebates through CleanBC Better Homes, BC Hydro and FortisBC. If your current heating system is aging, replacing it with a heat pump at the same time as adding cooling is often the most financially efficient path.

Frequently asked questions about AC installation in Burnaby

What type of AC is best for a Burnaby home?

It depends on your home. Many Burnaby postwar bungalows and split-levels have no existing ductwork, making a ductless heat pump mini-split the best choice: non-invasive, efficient, and qualifies for BC rebates. Newer Burnaby homes with forced-air furnaces can add central AC using existing ductwork. Condos and high-rises in Metrotown and Brentwood require a ductless mini-split. HeatLand assesses your specific home before making a recommendation.

How much does AC installation cost in Burnaby?

A ductless mini-split installation in Burnaby typically costs $2,500–$5,500 for a single zone. Adding central AC to an existing furnace ranges from $3,500–$7,500+. Heat pump mini-splits that qualify for CleanBC, BC Hydro and FortisBC rebates can reduce the net cost by $1,000–$3,500+. We provide a firm written quote after assessing your home.

Do I need a permit to install AC in Burnaby?

Yes — the City of Burnaby requires a mechanical permit for most HVAC installations. HeatLand manages permits as part of every installation. All work is inspected and code-compliant.

How soon can HeatLand install AC in Burnaby?

Installation timelines in Burnaby depend on equipment availability and current scheduling. For standard single-zone mini-split installs, we typically complete the job 1–3 weeks from your assessment. Spring is the ideal time to book — before summer demand peaks. Call (604) 330-3812 to check current scheduling.
