Energy-Efficient, All-Season Heating and Cooling for Every Type of Home
At ServiceXCEL, we specialize in installing heat pumps, offering both ducted and ductless (mini-split) options that fit your home’s layout, energy needs, and comfort goals.
Whether you live in a modern home without ductwork or an older home with existing ducts, we provide customized solutions that combine powerful performance with year-round energy savings.
With a heat pump, you can enjoy consistent, energy-efficient heating without the risks of electric baseboards. Unlike baseboard heaters, which use excessive energy and can pose a fire risk, heat pumps maintain a comfortable temperature without sudden spikes, keeping your home warm and your energy bills steady – even when you’re away from home!
Why Choose a Heat Pump Installation?
- Heating and cooling in one system
- Lower energy bills and reduced carbon footprint
- Ultra-quiet operation
- Eligible for rebates from CleanBC, and FortisBC, and the Canada Green Homes 0% Interest Loan
- Compatible with zoning systems and smart thermostats
- Built for performance in BC’s climate; our Cold Climate heat pumps work efficiently down to -25°C
Ducted Heat Pumps
Ideal for homes with existing ductwork, ducted heat pumps replace your furnace or central AC system, delivering consistent, whole-home heating and cooling.
We install Daikin FIT heat pump systems, known for their compact design, variable-speed operation, and high energy efficiency.
Best for:
- Full-home HVAC upgrades
- Homes with existing ducts
- Clean, integrated look with hidden air distribution
- Families seeking consistent temperatures in every room
Ductless Heat Pumps (Mini-Split HVAC Systems)
No ducts? No problem. Ductless heat pumps (also known as mini-splits) are the ideal solution for homes without central HVAC systems, room additions, apartments, or specific zones that need better climate control.
Each indoor unit can be independently controlled, giving you zoned comfort and lower operating costs.
Best for:
- Older or heritage homes without ducts
- Home offices, suites, or additions
- Specific rooms with uneven temperatures
- Homeowners who want more control over energy use
Expert Insights: Which Heat Pump is Right for You?
- Is a ducted or ductless heat pump more efficient?
Both are highly efficient, but ductless systems may offer higher efficiency due to no duct loss. The best option depends on your home’s layout and energy usage. Ducted systems are always more comfortable and less noticeable; it usually comes down to whether you have existing ducting or not. - Can I use a heat pump in cold BC winters?
Yes. Daikin heat pumps are built for cold climate performance and can operate efficiently even in low temperatures; the enhanced units work down to -25°C. We’ll ensure your system is properly sized and installed for maximum comfort. - Can I qualify for rebates?
Many homeowners upgrading to ducted or ductless heat pumps qualify for CleanBC, FortisBC, Canada Greener Homes incentives, or other rebate programs. We stay up to date on all the latest rebate programs, and can handle the application process with you. - How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed within 1–3 days, depending on the system specifications and home layout. Many systems can be completed with just a team of our skilled technicians, but we often need to bring in electricians and sheet metal workers at the same time depending on the scope. We take every step to protect your home while we are there, using shoe protectors, clean rugs, and cleaning up after our work is complete. For older homes with asbestos, our team are trained according to WSBC requirements to protect you and your family from any exposure. We provide a clear and custom timeline during your consultation and installation booking process. - What’s the maintenance like?
Heat pumps require minimal upkeep – just regular filter cleaning and annual professional tune-up to maintain performance and warranty coverage. Maintenance of mini-splits is very low effort.
