Ductless Air Conditioning Vancouver
Ductless Mini-Split Installation, Repair and Maintenance for Residential, Strata, High-Rise and Commercial Properties
Vanheat Services installs, repairs and maintains ductless air conditioning across Vancouver and Metro Vancouver. Many ductless mini-splits are heat pumps, so one system can cool in summer and heat in winter without traditional whole-home ductwork. Our Red Seal certified HVAC technicians size the system for your space, and installation typically costs $3,000 to $5,500 for a single-zone system and $6,000 to $14,000 for a multi-zone system, quoted in writing after a free in-home estimate.
Ductless systems suit condos, townhouses, additions, renovated basements, offices and rooms that are hard to reach with existing ducts. We service major brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Bosch, and qualifying new installations include a 10-year parts and labour warranty.

Real reviews from 260+ customers across Metro Vancouver, from heat pump, AC and air handler service to repairs for homes, strata and commercial properties.
“VanHeat Services recently completed maintenance on four systems at our home: the AC, air handler, tankless water heater, and HRV. Shaun was very knowledgeable, professional, and thorough… VanHeat Services is now our go-to company for maintaining the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems in our home.”
“We live in Cyprus and have a rented commercial property in Vancouver. We had an issue with the VRF system two nights ago and called Vanheat Services for urgent help. Their crew showed up the very next day and fixed the rooftop unit very quickly. The price was also very reasonable. The Vanheat technicians were professional, reliable, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Vanheat Services for commercial and strata properties.”
“…the inspection was thorough enough to actually find another issue with the boiler system, which is required to keep the house warm in winter. Both issues were fixed within a few hours… I highly recommend this company if you are looking for quick service appointment and affordable price for parts or replacement.”
“Technician was prompt, professional and friendly. Cost for annual servicing of our furnace and tankless water heater was reasonable. We will definitely be calling them again next year.”
“Sean was amazing! Communicated all aspects of work. Thank you”

Ductless Air Conditioning Vancouver: FAQ
How much does ductless air conditioning cost in Vancouver?
Many ductless mini-splits are heat pumps that both heat and cool. Ductless installation typically costs $3,000 to $5,500 for a single-zone system and $6,000 to $14,000 for a multi-zone system, quoted in writing after a free in-home estimate. Mini-split repair typically costs $250 to $1,200, with the diagnostic fee credited toward your repair and repair pricing provided in writing after diagnosis and before approved repair work begins.
What is ductless air conditioning?
A ductless mini-split typically connects an outdoor unit to one or more indoor units using refrigerant lines, wiring and condensate drainage. Wall-mounted, floor-mounted and cassette systems do not require traditional whole-home ductwork, while concealed ducted mini-splits can serve a few rooms through short duct runs.
Can a ductless system heat my home too?
Yes. Many ductless mini-splits are heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling. We size the system for your home and explain how it will perform in Metro Vancouver winters.
Can I install a ductless air conditioner in a condo or strata building?
Heat pump and ductless installations are available for high-rise and strata buildings, subject to strata approval. Approval usually depends on outdoor unit placement, balcony rules, noise limits, condensate drainage, electrical capacity and building envelope requirements. We assess the technical requirements for your suite and provide documentation to support your strata application, but the decision rests with the strata corporation.
Single-zone or multi-zone: which do I need?
A single-zone system serves one room or open area with one indoor unit. A multi-zone system connects several indoor units to one outdoor unit, so different rooms can be set to different temperatures. We recommend the layout after an in-home assessment of the rooms you want to condition.
Which indoor unit styles are available?
Common styles include wall-mounted units, floor-mounted consoles, ceiling cassettes and concealed ducted units that serve a few rooms through short duct runs. The right choice depends on the room layout, ceiling space and how visible you want the unit to be.
Do you repair ductless systems from other brands and installers?
Yes. We service major ductless brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Bosch, and we also repair systems installed by other contractors. Our emergency line is answered 24/7, and any applicable after-hours premium is quoted before work begins.
Are there rebates for ductless heat pumps?
Rebate eligibility depends on your existing heating fuel, property type, household income and current program requirements. Options have included BC Hydro rebates for homes heated mainly by electricity and the CleanBC Energy Savings Program for income-qualified households. Programs change during the year, so we help you confirm eligibility before you commit.
How do I maintain a ductless system?
Clean the indoor unit filters as often as the manufacturer recommends, keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and snow, and book regular professional maintenance to check refrigerant, coils, drains and electrical connections.
