Mini Split Heat Pumps

Mini-split heat pump air conditioners are a fantastic way to stay comfortable all year in Muskoka. They deliver heating in the winter and cooling in the summer, work quietly, and are more energy efficient than many traditional HVAC systems. If you're considering upgrading or installing a system for the first time, the Hisense and Senville mini-splits stand out as top choices.

Hisense offers impressive cold-climate performance with its Hi-Ultra and Hi-Multi lines. Hisense units maintain full heating capacity down to very low temperatures (some models rated to −30°C) and include features like WiFi/ConnectLife app control, anti-corrosion exchangers, and quiet indoor units.

Senville’s offerings, especially their AURA, SENL/CD, and LETO series, emphasize high SEER ratings, ENERGY STAR certification, cold-climate capability, and modern controls (remote, app, even Alexa). They also tend to offer very quiet indoor noise levels, good warranties (typically 5 years parts / 10 years compressor for many models), and strong value in the Muskoka-climate context.

  • The right size depends on the square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, and how many rooms you want to heat or cool. A pro load calculation helps ensure your mini-split isn’t over-sized or under-powered.

  • Many units from Hisense and Senville are rated to provide efficient heating down to −25°C or lower. Modern models maintain useful capacity in cold weather. Cold-climate ratings (HSPF, SEER2) are key.

  • No. Indoor units are generally whisper-quiet, especially in low or medium fan modes. Outdoor units are quieter than older heat pump systems and are placed away from bedrooms or neighbours to reduce disturbance.

  • No. The “ductless” nature means individual indoor units can be placed in each room or zone. This reduces energy losses from ducts and gives more control over temperature in different zones.

Mini-Split Heat Pump F.A.Q.

  • Annual cleaning of filters, checking refrigerant levels, confirming outdoor unit is free from snow/ice buildup, and verifying electrical connections. Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and prolongs the system’s lifespan.

  • Warranties vary by model, but many Senville units offer 10 years on the compressor and 5 years on parts. Hisense similarly offers robust warranty terms. Always register the unit and have professional installation to maintain your warranty.

  • Yes. Government and utility company programs often offer rebates or incentives for high-efficiency heat pumps. Choosing an ENERGY STAR certified model and using a licensed installer help with eligibility.

  • Absolutely. Even though upfront costs are higher than window units or old electric baseboards, savings on energy bills, improved comfort, and durability usually pay off over several winters.
