Air conditioner installation in New Westminster — ductless mini-splits, central AC and heat pumps for every home type, by HeatLand’s licensed team since 1999.
AC installation for New Westminster homes
New Westminster is one of Metro Vancouver’s oldest cities, with heritage and character homes in Queens Park, Uptown and Sapperton that predate modern ductwork by decades. Ductless mini-splits are the ideal cooling solution for these homes — efficient, non-invasive and highly effective. Newer New West condos and townhouses along the riverfront also benefit from mini-split installations.
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.
For New Westminster homeowners, we strongly favour heat pump mini-splits over cooling-only units: they provide heating and cooling, qualify for BC rebates, and are particularly well-suited to the city’s older housing stock where gas furnace replacement with a heat pump is a financially attractive option.

What type of AC works best in a New Westminster home?
New Westminster has many older homes without ductwork — Victorian, Craftsman and mid-century houses in Queens Park, Uptown and Sapperton. A ductless heat pump mini-split is ideal for these homes: non-invasive, highly efficient, and it cools and heats from one system. For newer New West condos, wall-mount mini-splits are the standard option.
How much does AC installation cost in New Westminster?
A single-zone ductless mini-split installation in New Westminster typically costs $2,500–$5,500. Multi-zone systems for whole-home coverage run $7,000–$14,000. BC heat pump rebates reduce net cost by $1,000–$3,500+ for qualifying systems.
Does HeatLand handle permits for AC installation in New Westminster?
Yes — City of New Westminster mechanical permits are required for HVAC installations. HeatLand manages the permit application process as part of every installation.
Can a mini-split be installed in a New Westminster heritage home without damaging it?
Yes — ductless mini-splits are the recommended cooling solution for heritage homes precisely because they require minimal intervention. A single small core hole through an exterior wall (typically through a less visible side or rear wall) accommodates the refrigerant lines. No ductwork, no ceiling or wall openings, no structural impact.
