Ductless for Lakefront Cottages and Vacation Properties

Sicamous has a high proportion of properties ideal for ductless — Mara Lake vacation cottages, Swansea Point lakefront homes, and older Trans-Canada corridor residences, many built without central duct infrastructure. Tourism-season use means these properties need cooling that works when fully booked in August and heating that kicks on for shoulder-season visits in October. Ductless handles both.

Stevenson Mechanical installs single-zone and multi-zone ductless across Sicamous. Cold-climate heat pump mini-splits handle Shuswap summer heat (with its higher humidity) and shoulder-season heating. Most qualify for CleanBC and utility rebates.

Where Ductless Fits

Mini-Splits for Sicamous & Mara Lake

  1. Mara Lake Cottages

    Vacation cottages without central HVAC. Ductless delivers real comfort for booked summer weeks and shoulder-season visits.

  2. Swansea Point Lakefront

    Lakefront homes with lake-view glass that overheats in August. A mini-split head delivers targeted cooling where it's needed.

  3. Vacation Rental Upgrade

    Guest reviews mention temperature. Ductless adds reliable cooling and heating that makes the listing competitive.

  4. Suites & Guest Quarters

    Independent HVAC for secondary spaces — separate comfort, separate control.

  5. Workshop Cooling

    Detached workshops and boathouses on Sicamous properties — targeted conditioning, no ductwork between buildings.

  6. Humidity-Aware Sizing

    Shuswap humidity affects comfort. We size for latent load — not just dry-bulb temperature.

Shadd and his team are absolutely wonderful and did a great job. I needed a basement sink plumbed and new washer dryer hookups and they were able to get it done in short order, kept everything tidy and were super easy to deal with. They knew my budget and worked with me to stay within it and gave me everything I needed. They are very professional, skilled and their prices are more than reasonable. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY US! 4 weeks ago, our hot water and air conditioning quit working on the same day! I called and spoke with the AMAZING Denise, she had Alex out at our shop within the day and he had everything diagnosed and parts ordered, not long after the first appointment, he had our hot water back in working order and then our A/C was repaired after that! Anytime we have had any issues, they have been very prompt to show up on the same day and Alex fixed it all! Such amazing and friendly services! You all have a forever client with Integra Tire and our team moving forward! Thank You!

Plumbing problems are never fun, but we appreciated how Stevenson Mechanical handled the replacement of our sump pump --from booking the appointment to the on-time arrival of our plumber and his friendly, competent service (which included persevering through some unexpected issues). Thank you for your expertise and excellent service!

This company is great! We needed to have our air conditioning unit disconnected and moved temporarily as we were getting our backyard patio redone. They were able to accommodate our last minute request, they completed the work quickly and got our unit reconnected just in time to beat the heat ! I would highly recommend them!
