📞 (604) 359-1081Request a free quoteOutdoor unit placement, noise limits, exterior-change approvals and existing electric baseboard or wall-sleeve heat all shape what’s possible in a condo. The good news: there’s almost always a workable solution.
A ductless mini-split with a compact or balcony-mounted outdoor unit works in many condos, subject to strata approval. We assess what your building allows and provide the documentation strata councils ask for.
A heat pump both cools and heats, so it qualifies for the major programs. Depending on your home, fuel source and the equipment chosen, that can include CleanBC Better Homes, BC Hydro, FortisBC and the federal Canada Greener Homes incentives, plus the interest-free Greener Homes Loan (up to $40,000). Combined incentives frequently offset several thousand dollars.

Modern cooling equipment is sealed, pressurized and wired to be serviced by trained professionals — not opened up at home. Refrigerant is handled only by technicians certified to do so; releasing it is unsafe and illegal, and an incorrect charge will quietly wreck efficiency and shorten the compressor’s life. Capacitors hold a dangerous charge even with the power off, and a wiring or breaker mistake on your home cooling is a real shock and fire risk. A licensed CANRO technician diagnoses the true root cause, repairs it to code, keeps your manufacturer warranty intact, and leaves the system safe — the first time. If a part is dangerous or sized wrong, we tell you honestly.
