📞 (604) 359-1081Request a free quoteMulti-level layouts stack heat on the upper floors, west-facing windows bake in the afternoon, and many townhouses have no central cooling. The fix has to respect strata rules and limited mechanical space.
A ductless mini-split is usually ideal — compact, quiet, and able to cool the hot upper floor independently. Some ducted townhouses can use a compact central or ducted heat pump system instead. We handle the strata documentation either way.
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.
CANRO confirms exactly what you qualify for and handles the paperwork. Prefer to spread the cost? We offer flexible financing so you can cool your home now and pay over time. See current rebates & financing →
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.
