AC Installation in Burnaby Condos and Homes

Overview
Planning AC installation in Burnaby
Burnaby has some of the most varied housing in the region, which is why AC installation in Burnaby never follows one template. Glass-walled condos around Brentwood and Metrotown can hit uncomfortable temperatures by late morning, even in June. Older detached homes on the South Slope and Burnaby Heights often have a gas furnace with ducts that can take a cooling coil, while others were built with baseboards or hot water heat and no ducts at all.
For most condo owners, the answer is a ductless heat pump, which cools in summer and replaces costly baseboard heat in winter. For houses with a forced-air furnace, central air or a ducted heat pump is usually the cleaner fit. We assess the space, the electrical service and, for stratas, the building rules before recommending anything.
Cooling options for Burnaby homes
Matched to towers, townhouses and older houses alike.
Central air for houses
Adds a coil to your existing furnace so the ducts you already have can deliver cool air to every floor.
Ducted heat pump
Heats and cools through existing ducts and lets the furnace rest for most of the winter.
Multi-room mini-splits
Several indoor heads on one outdoor unit for homes with baseboards or a boiler and no ductwork.
Quiet equipment choices
Low-sound outdoor units for balconies and narrow side yards where neighbours are close.
Suite electrical planning
Condo suites often have limited panel capacity, so we confirm the circuit before anything is ordered.
Local service
Installing cooling across Burnaby
We install in towers near Metrotown, Brentwood and Edmonds stations, in UniverCity townhomes on Burnaby Mountain, and in family houses around Deer Lake, Lochdale and Capitol Hill. High-rise work means booking elevators, protecting common areas and following building rules about drilling and work hours.
Detached homes bring their own questions. Many older Burnaby houses have small return air ducts or a furnace tucked in a tight utility room, and some have a panel that is already near capacity. We check all of it so the new system does not cause a new problem.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Can I install air conditioning in my Burnaby condo?
In many buildings, yes, but you will need strata approval. Councils usually care about where the outdoor unit sits, noise, and any holes in exterior walls. We provide the technical details they ask for.
My building has no space on the balcony. What are the options?
Some buildings allow outdoor units on the roof or on a wall bracket, and some have a designated mechanical area. In rare cases a through-wall unit is the only route. We will look at what your building permits.
Will a ductless unit replace my baseboard heaters?
For the rooms it serves, a heat pump can cover most of your heating needs. Many owners keep baseboards as backup for the coldest days and in rooms without a head.
Is central AC possible in an older Burnaby house?
Often, if there is a forced-air furnace. We check whether the ducts and blower can handle cooling airflow and suggest fixes, or a ductless option, if they cannot.
