What Senville does

Senville (Senville.ca) is a Canadian direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer specializing in ductless mini split air conditioning and heat pump systems, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Pointe-Claire, Quebec. The company sells three primary product series (LETO value-tier, AURA ENERGY STAR premium, and ELITE hyper-efficiency, launched in 2025) across wall-mounted, ceiling cassette, concealed duct, and floor-mounted form factors, plus multi-zone systems supporting 2 to 5 zones from single outdoor units. Adjacent categories include central ducted inverter systems, window and portable air conditioners, heat pump water heaters (50/65 gallon ENERGY STAR), and indoor air quality products (air purifiers, dehumidifiers, space heaters, fans), supported by a full OEM replacement parts catalog.

The core technology is inverter-driven mini split heat pump hardware, with the Arctic Series rated for heating performance down to -30°C and SEER efficiency up to 25, alongside WiFi and Alexa-enabled smart-home integration for iOS and Android control. Senville is an HRAI member and positions its ENERGY STAR-certified lineup against Canadian government rebate and tax-credit programs for energy-efficient heating equipment.

The business model is hardware sales through the proprietary senville.ca storefront, with AOV ranging roughly $1,000 to $6,300 depending on BTU capacity and zone count, supplemented by an open-box/refurbished secondary channel at significant discounts. Distribution is exclusively domestic Canadian via direct shipping, with phone-based sales support. The company claims 500,000+ home installations since inception and serves residential homeowner segments (single-room, multi-room, whole-home) on a transactional hardware basis; it is privately held with no disclosed parent company, funding rounds, or leadership team information.
