No ducts? No problem. CANRO cools homes that central AC can’t reach — quietly, efficiently and without renovation. CANRO Heating & Cooling has cooled Greater Vancouver homes since 1999. Call (604) 359-1081 or request a free, no-obligation quote.

Many Greater Vancouver homes — older houses, condos, heritage homes, additions — have no ductwork, so central AC isn’t an option. The modern answer is a ductless mini-split: real, efficient cooling installed through a small wall opening, with no ducts to build. Here are your no-duct options and how to choose.

Same-day cooling diagnostics. Free written quotes on new systems.

Your no-duct cooling options

  • Single-zone mini-split — cool one key room (bedroom, top floor, office).
  • Multi-zone mini-split — whole-home cooling from one outdoor unit.
  • Ductless heat pump — the same system also heats and earns rebates.

Window and portable units exist, but they’re loud, inefficient, block windows and only cool one room poorly. A mini-split outperforms them in every way.

Rebates & financing

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 →

Why hire a licensed technician

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do you cool a house with no ductwork?

A ductless mini-split — a small outdoor unit feeds slim indoor heads through a 3-inch wall opening. No ducts, no major renovation, real whole-home cooling.

Is adding ducts ever worth it?

Rarely, just for cooling — ductwork is invasive and expensive in a finished home. Ductless almost always cools better for less disruption.

Will a mini-split cool an old, leaky home well?

Yes — and pairing it with some weatherproofing makes it even more effective. We’ll assess your home and size it correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need air conditioning in Vancouver?
Vancouver summers have been getting hotter — the 2021 heat dome saw temperatures over 40°C. Most modern Vancouver homes now install a heat pump that provides both heating and cooling, replacing a furnace and avoiding the need for a separate A/C system.
How much does central A/C cost in Vancouver?
A typical 2.5–3 ton central air conditioner added to an existing forced-air furnace costs $5,500–$9,500 installed. A heat pump conversion (cooling + heating in one unit) is usually a smarter long-term investment given available rebates.
How often should A/C be serviced?
Annual servicing in spring keeps the outdoor coil clean, refrigerant charge correct, and the indoor evaporator coil and condensate drain clear. Skipping service is the single biggest cause of premature compressor failure.
What HVAC services does CANRO offer in Metro Vancouver?
CANRO installs, services and repairs boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, hot water tanks, tankless water heaters, gas fireplaces and air conditioning across Metro Vancouver. We work on residential homes, townhouses and condos throughout the Lower Mainland.
