Ductless AC installation in North Vancouver — mini-split heat pumps for homes without ductwork, condos and suites, by HeatLand since 1999.
Ductless cooling for North Vancouver homes
North Vancouver’s older hillside homes — the postwar bungalows and 1960s–80s split-levels throughout Lynn Valley, Canyon Heights and Delbrook — almost universally lack ductwork. A ductless mini-split heat pump is the natural solution: it installs in a day, requires minimal wall penetration, and provides both summer cooling and winter heating. HeatLand has extensive experience with North Vancouver’s hillside lots and heritage homes.
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.

One outdoor unit + 2–5 indoor heads. Covers the whole home with independent room control. No ductwork required.
Heat Pump Mini-Split

FAQ — ductless AC in North Vancouver
Why are ductless mini-splits the best cooling option for North Vancouver homes?
Most older North Vancouver homes — the hillside bungalows and split-levels from the 1950s–80s that define many North Van neighbourhoods — have no existing ductwork. A ductless mini-split is the only non-invasive way to add cooling without significant construction. The installation requires a single small wall penetration and is typically complete in one day.
Are there hillside-specific considerations for ductless installation in North Vancouver?
Yes — on sloped North Van lots, the outdoor unit may be wall-mounted, mounted on a pad on a sloped grade, or installed with extended line sets to reach a suitable exterior location. HeatLand plans every North Van installation around the specific lot and home configuration. This is routine work for our team.
Do ductless mini-splits qualify for BC rebates in North Vancouver?
Yes — heat pump mini-splits installed anywhere in BC, including North Vancouver, qualify for rebates from CleanBC, BC Hydro and FortisBC. HeatLand confirms current eligibility at your quote.
