Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about HVAC in BC — rebates, permits, lifespans, and more.

How long does a heat pump last in BC?
A well-installed and properly maintained heat pump in the Lower Mainland's mild coastal climate typically lasts 15–20 years. The biggest factor in longevity isn't the brand — it's whether the system was sized correctly for the home and whether it gets semi-annual maintenance. Skipping maintenance is the fastest way to cut a heat pump's life in half.
Are there rebates for heat pumps in BC?
Yes — BC homeowners can stack rebates from CleanBC Better Homes, FortisBC, and the federal Canada Greener Homes program. Depending on the system and your fuel switch, total rebates can reach several thousand dollars when replacing an oil, propane, or natural gas furnace with a heat pump. Eligibility and amounts change, so we'll confirm the current programs as part of your quote.
Do I need a permit for a furnace or gas appliance replacement in BC?
Yes. In British Columbia, gas work must be performed by a licensed gas fitter and a gas permit is required for installing, altering, or replacing gas appliances such as furnaces, fireplaces, water heaters, and stoves. We pull the permits and handle the Technical Safety BC paperwork as part of every gas job, so you don't have to.
How often should HVAC equipment be serviced?
We recommend semi-annual maintenance — once in the spring before cooling season, and once in the fall before heating season. Twice a year is the sweet spot for catching problems early, keeping the system running efficiently, and protecting manufacturer warranties (most warranties require documented annual service).
Do you service the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. We regularly serve the Sunshine Coast in addition to Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, and the rest of the Lower Mainland. Travel logistics may affect scheduling for smaller repairs on the Coast — give us a call and we'll work out the best window.
Can you repair any brand of HVAC equipment?
Yes. We work with a wide range of suppliers across the Lower Mainland and service all major HVAC and gas appliance brands — Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, Rheem, Napoleon, and more. If we can't get a part the same day, we'll tell you up front and find the fastest path to a fix.
Do you offer emergency HVAC service?
Yes — we provide emergency response for no-heat and no-cool situations, especially for commercial clients with rooftop units and refrigeration. Call us at 778.883.1516 and we'll let you know our soonest available window.
How much does a new heat pump cost in the Lower Mainland?
Installed cost for a residential cold-climate heat pump in the Lower Mainland typically ranges from about $9,000 to $18,000 before rebates, depending on home size, ductwork condition, electrical capacity, and whether you're keeping a backup heat source. After CleanBC, FortisBC, and federal rebates, net cost is often substantially lower. We provide free, transparent written quotes — no high-pressure sales.
