Ductless AC installation in Burnaby — mini-split heat pumps for homes without ductwork, condos and suites, by HeatLand since 1999.
Ductless cooling for Burnaby homes
Burnaby has a diverse housing stock — from 1950s–80s bungalows and split-levels without ductwork to newer condo towers around Metrotown and Brentwood. Ductless mini-splits are ideal for the older homes that make up the majority of Burnaby’s residential neighbourhoods. A single penetration through the exterior wall is all that’s needed to install a cooling system that works from day one.
Single-Zone Mini-Split
One outdoor unit + one indoor wall-mount head. Cools one room or open-plan area. Most common for bedrooms and living rooms.
Multi-Zone System
One outdoor unit + 2–5 indoor heads. Covers the whole home with independent room control. No ductwork required.
Heat Pump Mini-Split
Cools in summer AND heats in winter. Qualifies for BC rebates from CleanBC, BC Hydro and FortisBC. The right choice for most BC homes.
Condo / Strata Install
