Is a Mini Split Air Conditioner Right for Your Ottawa Home?
Mini split systems — also known as ductless air conditioners — are a perfect fit for homes without existing ductwork. They’re especially popular in established Ottawa neighbourhoods like the Glebe, Centretown, and Sandy Hill, where older construction makes traditional HVAC retrofits costly or impractical.
With flexible single-zone and multi-zone options, mini splits allow you to cool specific rooms like bedrooms, additions, or upper floors — all with independent temperature control. Think of it like a range hood above your stove: it targets comfort exactly where you need it, without affecting the rest of your home.

Cool Your Garage — The Smart Way to Stay Comfortable
Your garage doesn’t have to be the hottest (or most humid) space in your home. A mini split air conditioner is the ideal solution for transforming garages, workshops, or home gyms into comfortable, usable spaces all summer long — and even year-round with a heat pump option.
Whether you’re tackling DIY projects, protecting valuable tools from moisture damage, or hosting friends for a get-together, a mini split system provides precise temperature and humidity control without the noise or bulk of a window unit. Say goodbye to musty smells, heat build-up, and sticky air — and hello to consistent comfort.
At AirZone HVAC Services, we custom-design garage mini split systems for Ottawa homeowners. Choose from cooling-only units or cold-climate heat pumps for full-season performance — all professionally installed and rebate-eligible where applicable.
Ductless Mini Split FAQs for Ottawa Homeowners
Are ductless mini split air conditioners loud?
No — ductless systems are among the quietest HVAC options on the market. Most indoor units operate between 19–22 decibels (about the volume of a whisper), while outdoor units typically range from 45–60 decibels, which is quieter than standard central AC systems. Keep in mind that if your system includes a condensate pump, that pump may be louder than the actual fan.
How much does a ductless mini split cost in Ottawa?
Pricing depends on the number of zones, system size, and performance level. As of 2024–2025, here are typical Ottawa ranges:
Single-zone cooling-only system: $2,500–$4,000
Two-zone heating/cooling system: $5,000–$10,000
Three to four-zone high-performance systems: $8,500–$20,000+
We offer free quotes and help homeowners access rebates through programs like the Greener Homes Grant.
Can a ductless mini split system provide both heating and cooling?
Yes. Most modern ductless systems installed in Ottawa are heat pumps, meaning they deliver both heating and cooling. Single-zone units may be cooling-only, but as soon as you install multiple indoor heads, the system almost always functions as a heat pump by design.
What are the advantages of ductless AC compared to central air?
Ductless systems are more energy efficient, whisper quiet, and require no ductwork. They allow for zoned temperature control, meaning you can cool or heat only the rooms you use — and at different set points. This makes them perfect for older homes, additions, or areas with inconsistent comfort levels.
What kind of maintenance does a ductless system require?
Regular maintenance is simple but essential. Homeowners should clean the washable filters every 1–3 months depending on usage and indoor air quality. We also recommend annual professional service to check refrigerant levels, drainage, and system efficiency — especially before Ottawa’s peak heating or cooling seasons.
Why is my ductless mini split leaking water?
The most common causes of leaks are clogged drain lines or frozen coils due to dirty filters. When airflow is restricted, condensation builds up and can back up into the indoor unit. Regular filter cleaning and scheduling professional maintenance will prevent most leak-related issues.
Are ductless systems eligible for rebates in Ottawa?
Yes. Many of our ductless heat pump systems qualify for Greener Homes rebates, which can cover a large portion of your project cost — sometimes even the full amount. We’ll help you determine eligibility and handle the paperwork.
Can I install a ductless air conditioner in my garage or workshop?
Absolutely. Ductless systems are ideal for garages, home gyms, workshops, or any space without ductwork. They control both temperature and humidity, helping protect tools and equipment while keeping the space comfortable year-round.
