Rachel Orr I am writing this review because I had the most exceptional service. We live in the BP's and Shaun and his team came in and did an exceptional job. Very quick professional and caring. We had to replace our heat pump and furnace. Shaun went out of his way to help me.

He pointed out some issues I had and was very open and honest of what he can and will not do out of consideration of me as a customer I do not feel he is there to cash grab like some others and at the end of the day i paid for his visit and assessment which was honest and allowed me to make a better decision on how to approach my system. I will go back to him for future services and assessment of my unit.
Common Continental Heat Pump Problems We Fix in Vancouver
Continental central systems use proven split-system components, and most repair calls come down to a handful of faults we see across Metro Vancouver.
Contactor and Capacitor Failure
A failed contactor or run capacitor is one of the most common reasons a Continental outdoor unit will not start or hums without running. These are fast, common single-visit repairs.
Reversing Valve Faults
The reversing valve switches a Continental heat pump between heating and cooling. When it or its solenoid coil fails, the system gets stuck in one mode. We test and replace as needed.
Defrost Control Board Issues
In Vancouver’s wet winters, a faulty defrost board or sensor lets ice build on the outdoor coil. We test the defrost control and restore normal winter operation.
Outdoor Fan Motor Failure
A seized or noisy condenser fan motor leaves the system running without rejecting heat, reducing output. We test electrical draw before replacing the motor.
Refrigerant Leaks and Low Charge
Low charge from a coil or line-set leak causes weak heating and cooling. We find and repair the leak, then recharge to specification rather than topping up.
Control and Wiring Faults
Tripped breakers, blown low-voltage fuses, and loose connections cause many no-start calls. We trace the electrical fault and repair it at the source.

Continental Heat Pump & AC Repair Vancouver: FAQ
Is Continental a real HVAC brand?
Yes. Continental is the heating and cooling line manufactured by Napoleon in Barrie, Ontario. Its central heat pumps and air conditioners are built for Canadian climates, and Vanheat repairs them across Metro Vancouver.
How much does Continental heat pump repair cost in Vancouver?
Most Continental repairs in Vancouver fall between $250 and $1,200 depending on the fault. A contactor, capacitor, or fan repair sits lower, while a reversing valve or compressor repair runs higher. We provide a written upfront quote first.
My Continental heat pump is stuck in one mode. What is wrong?
A heat pump stuck in heating or cooling usually points to a reversing valve or solenoid coil fault, or a control problem. We test the valve and the controls on-site and repair the specific cause.
Why is my Continental unit icing up in winter?
Light frost is normal, but heavy ice on the outdoor coil signals a defrost control or sensor fault, or low refrigerant. This is a common Continental winter call in Vancouver. We repair it before the system overheats.
Do you stock Continental parts?
We carry universal split-system parts like contactors, capacitors, and fan motors on every truck, and source Continental-specific defrost boards and components quickly. Many repairs are completed on the first visit.
Should I repair or replace my Continental system?
Under 10 years old with an affordable repair, repair is usually right. For older units needing a major component, replacement may make more sense once BC rebates are considered. We give an honest on-site comparison.
