What gets installed
Four Ways a Heat Pump Job Starts
Most projects use one of these, and a few use two. Which one fits depends on whether the house has ductwork and what it is heated with today.
Four service lines cover most heat pump work on this coast: full installation, ductless mini-splits, repair, and heat pump water heaters. Ladysmith Heat Pumps handles all four across the Cowichan Valley Regional District, with system costs running $3,500 to $18,000 before the income-tested CleanBC rebate.
The four service lines
- Heat Pump InstallationHeat pump installation done right: room-by-room heat loss calculation, CEC Rule 8-200 load check, and the CleanBC rebate deducted from your final invoice.
- Ductless Mini-SplitsDuctless mini-split installation for homes without ductwork on Vancouver Island's east coast. Single-head and multi-head systems, sized by heat loss, coast-spec equipment.
- Heat Pump RepairHeat pump not heating, icing over, or short-cycling? Diagnostic and repair service for ducted and ductless systems across the Cowichan Valley.
- Heat Pump Water HeatersHeat pump water heater installation on Vancouver Island's east coast. Moves heat rather than generating it, the same principle as space heating applied to the tank.
Elsewhere on the site
- CoverageFour communities on the same coast and the same climate, with four different authorities issuing permits across them. The coverage pages set out what changes house to house.
- CostSystem prices before rebates, the income-tested CleanBC bands, and what actually lands on the invoice once a registered contractor applies the deduction. Also covers repair against replacement.

Address, current heating system and rough timing are enough for a first conversation.
