Climax Energy installs ductless mini split heat pump systems for homes and individual spaces in Burnaby. Whether you need heating and cooling for a specific room, a secondary suite, a townhome without central HVAC, or a home addition, we assess the space and specify equipment matched to your situation.
Burnaby's mix of older detached homes, multi-level houses, and newer townhomes creates a range of situations where ductless systems address comfort problems that central HVAC can't easily solve.
Many Burnaby homes have gas furnace heating but no air conditioning. Adding a mini split to a specific room or floor provides cooling in summer without requiring whole-home duct modifications.
Townhome systems are often insufficient for upper floors or don't provide cooling at all. A mini split in a specific zone — a top-floor bedroom or living area — addresses the comfort gap without reworking the building's main system.
Burnaby secondary suites require independent climate control. A mini split provides heating and cooling for the suite without depending on the main home's system.
Multi-level Burnaby homes often have upper floors that receive inadequate heating or no cooling from the central system. A targeted mini split zone addresses the imbalance without a full system redesign.
A mini split can serve one space or several. The right configuration depends on what you're conditioning and how the spaces relate.
A mini split installation that performs well over the long term starts with understanding the space, the site, and the scope — before equipment is selected or priced.
Space evaluated for size, ceiling height, insulation, windows, and usage. Equipment sized to the calculated load.
Condenser placement considers mounting surface, clearances, service access, and line run length. For multi-level Burnaby homes, unit location relative to the conditioned space matters for line routing.
Wall-mounted, ceiling cassette, or floor-mounted head chosen for room configuration and airflow coverage.
Dedicated circuit required. Panel capacity and wiring needs confirmed at the assessment. Any electrical work discussed before scheduling.
Lines run from indoor head to outdoor unit through a wall penetration. Routing is planned for the shortest practical path with appropriate protection.
Drainage routing planned at the assessment. Gravity preferred; pump used where needed.
Scope varies by property type, equipment, and site conditions. A townhome installation differs from a detached home with a full basement.
Site reviewed before pricing — no estimates from dimensions alone.
For Burnaby homes with existing ductwork in good condition, a central heat pump may be the right choice. For targeted zones, suites, or homes without ductwork, a mini split is often more practical.
See ducted vs ductless heat pump and heat pumps for homes without ductwork for more.
Space, outdoor unit location, electrical, and line routing all reviewed before specifying or pricing.
Equipment matched to the calculated load for the space, not a general rule of thumb.
Dedicated circuit and disconnect installation handled as part of the project.
We work regularly across Burnaby's neighbourhoods and understand the range of housing types, from older detached homes to newer townhomes.
