Mini-Split Installation for Richmond homes
Sizing a system for Richmond means designing against 1–4 °C winter lows and 21–25 °C summer highs — not a provincial average. Extensive high-rise and townhome development through City Centre and Brighouse, 1970s–90s single-family homes across Broadmoor and Terra Nova, and heritage and newer homes in Steveston. We assess the house in front of us rather than working from a rule of thumb.
A large share of older Lower Mainland housing — character homes, beach cottages, post-war bungalows — has no ductwork at all. Ductless is what makes those homes coolable without gutting them.
Our process
How installation works
-
In-home assessment
We measure the house rather than the old equipment — square footage, insulation, windows, orientation and layout.
-
Load calculation
Sizing comes from that assessment. Over-sizing is the single most common installation error and it costs you comfort and equipment life.
-
Written quote
Fixed pricing with the rebates you qualify for already applied, so you see the real number.
-
Permitted installation
We pull the municipal and gas permits, install to spec, and protect your floors while we work.
-
Commissioning and walkthrough
We test the system under load, balance it, and show you how to run it before we leave.
Local knowledge
What we watch for in Richmond
Built on the Fraser delta at close to sea level, Richmond is the mildest city we serve. Ocean influence keeps both extremes in check, but it comes with wind and salt air.
- Richmond sits at or near sea level with a very high water table. Crawlspaces flood more readily here than anywhere else we work, so furnace and ductwork placement has to account for it.
- Steveston and western Richmond get direct salt exposure off the Strait — coastal-rated outdoor equipment is not an upsell here, it's what makes the warranty hold.
- City Centre's tower density means most work is strata-governed, with restrictions on exterior penetrations and balcony equipment that shape what's actually installable.
The City of Richmond issues mechanical and building permits, and gas fitting is regulated by Technical Safety BC. We manage permitting and strata documentation.

FAQ
Mini-Split Installation in Richmond — common questions
How many indoor units do I need?
It depends on your layout and how open it is. An open-plan main floor might need one head; a compartmentalised older home usually needs one per zone.
How disruptive is installation?
Far less than ducting. Each indoor head needs a small wall penetration for the line set. Most installations are done in a day.
Do you actually serve Richmond?
Yes — Richmond is a regular part of our service area. Around 30 minutes from our Surrey showroom. We cover Steveston, Brighouse, Terra Nova, Hamilton and the surrounding areas.
Is there anything specific about mini-split installation in Richmond?
Richmond sits at or near sea level with a very high water table. Crawlspaces flood more readily here than anywhere else we work, so furnace and ductwork placement has to account for it.
Do I need a permit in Richmond?
The City of Richmond issues mechanical and building permits, and gas fitting is regulated by Technical Safety BC. We manage permitting and strata documentation.
