Living in Greater Montreal means coping with snowy winters and sultry summers. A ductless mini-split offers personalized temperature control and energy savings tailored to each room. Climate Solutions, your local HVAC expert since 2013, can guide you through finding the right unit.
Why Mini-Splits Work Well in Montreal
Unlike bulky central AC systems, ductless mini-splits provide targeted heating and cooling. Their inverter-driven compressors adjust output to match demand, which lowers electricity use—perfect for Quebec’s wide temperature swings.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
- High SEER/EER ratings reduce power bills.
- Variable-speed compressors avoid constant on/off cycling.
- Zone control means you only heat or cool occupied rooms.
Compact Design and Easy Installation
Mini-splits require just a small hole in the wall for refrigerant lines, so there’s minimal disruption. Climate Solutions’ technicians install the outdoor condenser and indoor air handler quickly, even in tight Montreal row homes.
Key Factors to Choose the Right Mini-Split
Calculate Heating and Cooling Loads
Perform a Manual J load calculation or consult our experts to size each head correctly. Oversized units short-cycle, while undersized equipment struggles during deep freeze.
Consider SEER, HSPF and Inverter Technology
Look for a SEER rating above 18 and HSPF over 9 for top performance. Inverter-driven compressors adapt to temperature changes, ensuring comfort without spikes in energy use.
Quality of Air Filtration and Noise Levels
Check the MERV rating of filters and sound output in dB. Modern mini-splits often include multi-stage filtration and operate below 30 dB indoors for near-silent comfort.
Practical Tips from Climate Solutions
- Position indoor units away from direct sunlight to prevent false temperature readings.
- Clean filters every 3 months to maintain airflow in dusty Montreal conditions.
- Schedule annual maintenance—our team can inspect refrigerant levels and electrical connections.
Maximizing Your Investment
Pair your mini-split with a smart thermostat to automate schedules and monitor usage. Climate Solutions can integrate climate zoning for multi-room control, boosting efficiency across all seasons.
