What kind of options do you have?

Central Heat Pump

A favored option on Vancouver Island for homes with pre-existing central heating systems. If your residence already features a centralized duct system, this will be your optimal choice for both heating and cooling needs. This option offers the convenience of efficient heating and cooling in a single unit.

Mini Split System

This ductless system consists of two primary components: an external compressor/condenser and an interior air-handling unit. During warmer months, this efficient and adaptable heat pump fills your rooms with cool, fresh air, simultaneously expelling warm air and pumping in cool air. In the colder months, the system reverses its operation to warm your rooms to the temperature you prefer.

Advantages

• Dual-function capability to cool in the summer and heat in the winter.
• Enhanced energy efficiency. Ductless systems reduce energy loss to less than 5%, compared to up to 40% for traditional central forced-air systems.
• Easier installation process compared to conventional central A/C systems.
• Ideal for zoned temperature control or for heating and cooling individual rooms.
• Nearly silent operation ensures peace and quiet.
• A range of models that seamlessly integrate with various room styles and decors.
• Optional built-in filtration systems are available to eliminate bacteria, germs, and capture dust.

Cassette Air Conditioner – Heat Pump

Perfect for rooms with limited space or where maintaining the existing decor is a priority, our cassette air conditioning systems are a discreet solution. With only the grill visible in the ceiling, these ductless units offer powerful performance in a quiet operation. They are ideal for master bedrooms, living rooms, or commercial settings.

Advantages

• Offers both cooling in the summer and heating in the winter.
• Ability to distribute cooled or heated air either evenly or in a specific direction, giving you more control.
• Operates extremely quietly, making it ideal for settings where noise is a concern.
• Frees up floor and wall space, making it an unobtrusive option.
• The modern and clean look of cassette units blends well with any room aesthetic.
