Ductless Mini-Splits

A ductless mini-split heats and cools without any ductwork — a small outdoor unit feeds one or more wall-mounted indoor heads, each with its own thermostat. We size, install, and service single- and multi-zone systems.

How it works

Ductless Mini-Splits, made simple

A ductless mini-split is a heat pump that heats and cools a room directly — no ductwork required. A small outdoor unit connects to one or more indoor heads through a thin line set in the wall.

  1. 01

    One outdoor unit

    The outdoor compressor moves heat in or out of your home — pulling heat from cold winter air, or dumping it outside in summer.

  2. 02

    Indoor heads

    Each wall- or ceiling-mounted head blows conditioned air straight into its room, with its own thermostat and remote.

  3. 03

    Zone by zone

    Run only the rooms you're using, each at its own temperature — no ducts to lose energy through, no thermostat battles.

What size do I need?

Sizing your ductless mini-splits the right way

A mini-split is sized room by room, not by whole-home square footage. The ballpark above is a starting point — each head is matched to its space, sun exposure, and how the room is used, so it heats and cools without short-cycling.

Measured in BTUs per hour, per zone

Each head is sized to its room — roughly one ton (12,000 BTU) per 500–600 square feet

A rule of thumb gets you in the ballpark — but an oversized system short-cycles: it blasts on, shuts off, and wastes energy while heating or cooling unevenly. The right size comes from a proper load calculation, not a square-footage formula.

What we measure

  • Square footage, layout, and ceiling height
  • Insulation and how well the home is sealed
  • Windows — size, number, and which way they face
  • Our climate — cold winters and humid summers

We confirm the exact size during a free in-home assessment — so you get a system that fits your home, not a guess.

Common problems we solve

Ductless Mini-Splits issues we fix

A room that never gets comfortable

Additions, finished attics, and bonus rooms often sit at the end of the ductwork — or have none. A mini-split conditions that space directly.

No ductwork to work with

Older homes and additions may have no ducts at all. A ductless system needs only a small line set, not new ductwork.

Fighting over the thermostat

One setting for the whole house never suits everyone. Each indoor head has its own control, so every zone is set its own way.

Weak airflow or icing at the head

A dirty filter, low refrigerant, or a failing fan shows up as warm air or ice on the indoor unit. We diagnose the whole system, not just the symptom.

Repair or replace?

Signs it's time to act on your ductless mini-splits

It's 12–15+ years old or struggling to keep a zone comfortable.
Bills are rising, or it runs constantly without keeping up.
Ice on the indoor head or outdoor unit, or frequent defrost cycles.
Warm air when it should cool, or weak airflow from the head.
A failing compressor or reversing valve.

Repair or replace? If a mini-split can't hold a comfortable temperature or needs a major repair on an aging unit, a newer cold-climate system holds output far better in GTA winters — and may qualify for current rebates.

Simple ways to make your ductless mini-splits last

Rinse or replace the indoor head filters monthly in heavy use — clogged filters are the #1 cause of weak airflow.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow, and ice — never let it sit in a snowbank.
Wipe the indoor head and check the condensate drain line for clogs.
Book a yearly tune-up — a mini-split runs year-round, so upkeep matters more than a seasonal system.

What affects the cost

What affects the price

Every home is different, so we quote in writing after we see yours — no guesswork numbers online. Here's what actually moves the price.

Number of zones

A single-head system costs less than a multi-zone setup feeding several rooms from one outdoor unit.

Cold-climate capability

Low-temperature models that hold heating output in deep cold cost more than cooling-focused units.

Head type & placement

Wall-mounted, ceiling-cassette, or floor units, and how far each runs from the outdoor unit.

Electrical capacity

Some homes need a panel or dedicated circuit to support the outdoor unit.

Rebate eligibility

Installing a qualifying high-efficiency system can offset cost through current incentives — see our rebates page.

Questions, answered

Ductless Mini-Splits FAQs

Does a ductless system heat as well as cool?

Yes. A mini-split is a heat pump — it cools in summer and heats in winter. Cold-climate models are built to keep heating through Ontario winters.

How many indoor heads can one system run?

A single outdoor unit can feed one head or several, each zoned independently. We size the system to your rooms and how you use them.

Do mini-splits qualify for rebates?

High-efficiency heat-pump systems, including ductless, can qualify for current Ontario incentives. We'll confirm what applies before you commit.

Are they noisy?

Modern indoor heads are quiet — most of the work happens at the outdoor unit, which sits outside the living space.
