No ducts? No problem! Cool down with your new ductless air conditioner.
Looking for an air conditioning solution for your condo or apartment? Dealing with unrelenting heat in a few important rooms in your home? Having trouble sleeping in a warm bedroom? A ductless air conditioner might be the best option for you!
Ductless air conditioners are a great option for folks who need to cool certain areas of their home, but don’t necessarily want to invest in central air conditioning (also known as whole-home AC). They are also great for older homes, condos, or apartments that don’t have any existing ductwork.

Ductless air conditioners, also known as mini-splits, use an outside condenser connected to an indoor air handler unit. They are usually installed at the top of your wall, or mounted to the ceiling. Small holes are then drilled through the wall to connect the power and cooling lines to the outside condenser.
Ductless Air Conditioning is incredibly flexible. Some homeowners put Ductless A/C in the upstairs bedrooms to make hot summer nights more bearable. It’s also the right way to cool your home if you live in a condominium and have no ducts.
We use Daikin and Lennox-brand units and find they offer a reliable and long-term cooling solution. They come in a few different sizes and capacities, we’ll select the right unit for you based on how many rooms you want to cool.
Installing ductless air conditioning usually involves two main parts – the outdoor condenser unit, which usually sits on your balcony. It attaches to indoor ‘heads’, which deliver cool air into your room. Most people need only one or two heads to cool their home.

Ductless air conditioning starts at $3695 for a single-head system. If you are trying to cool multiple rooms, you might need a two-head unit, which increases the cost.
Your biggest decision is to decide which rooms you want to cool. If you are in a traditional two-story home, you might want to cool your master bedroom, or upstairs bonus room. If you are in a condo, think about where you need the most cooling and which rooms get the most sunlight. We’ll provide you with an estimate on the best unit to fit your needs.
If you want to cool two bedrooms, for example, we can use one outdoor unit and attach it to two indoor heads. Mini-splits are very flexible and easy to install, so your biggest decision is determining which rooms you want to cool.
Because ductless air conditioners are quieter than traditional A/C units, it shouldn’t bother your neighbours. While it’s good to check with your building by-laws, typically we have no issues installing Ductless A/C units in condominiums.
