Real reviews from 260+ customers across Metro Vancouver, from furnace, boiler and heat pump work to maintenance for homes, strata and commercial properties.
"Technician was prompt, professional and friendly. Cost for annual servicing of our furnace and tankless water heater was reasonable. We will definitely be calling them again next year."
"VanHeat Services recently completed maintenance on four systems at our home: the AC, air handler, tankless water heater, and HRV. Shaun was very knowledgeable, professional, and thorough... VanHeat Services is now our go-to company for maintaining the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems in our home."
"...the inspection was thorough enough to actually find another issue with the boiler system, which is required to keep the house warm in winter. Both issues were fixed within a few hours... I highly recommend this company if you are looking for quick service appointment and affordable price for parts or replacement."
"We live in Cyprus and have a rented commercial property in Vancouver. We had an issue with the VRF system two nights ago and called Vanheat Services for urgent help. Their crew showed up the very next day and fixed the rooftop unit very quickly. The price was also very reasonable. The Vanheat technicians were professional, reliable, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Vanheat Services for commercial and strata properties."
"Sean was amazing! Communicated all aspects of work. Thank you"

Common HVAC Problems in Abbotsford Homes
Homes in Abbotsford can run into a range of heating and cooling problems, especially during winter cold snaps and summer heat. These are some symptoms worth having diagnosed; describing the symptom when you book helps us arrive prepared. Repairs start with a diagnostic from $129, credited toward approved repair work, and repair pricing is provided in writing before work begins.
Heat pumps icing up in cold weather
During colder Fraser Valley weather, a heat pump that stays heavily iced over or produces very little heat may have a defrost control, sensor, airflow or refrigerant problem, or may not be sized for the home's heating load. Diagnosis comes before any refrigerant is added.
Furnaces that start and then shut down
A furnace that lights and then shuts down can have an ignition, flame sensing, airflow, venting or control problem. Have the cause diagnosed rather than repeatedly resetting the furnace.
Weak cooling in hot weather
If an AC or heat pump runs continuously but struggles to reach the thermostat setting, possible causes include dirty coils, restricted airflow, a refrigerant problem, capacitor or fan faults, or equipment undersized for the cooling load.
Clogged condensate drains
Water near the furnace or indoor AC unit, a musty smell or an AC that shuts off on its safety switch often points to a blocked condensate drain. Checking the drain during seasonal maintenance can reduce the risk of overflow and water damage.
Oversized furnaces in renovated homes
Older Abbotsford homes that have been insulated and sealed may now need less heat than the original furnace delivers, causing short cycling and uneven temperatures. A proper heat loss calculation helps determine the right replacement capacity.
Why Abbotsford HVAC Service Differs from Coastal Vancouver
Abbotsford's inland Fraser Valley climate can bring colder winter conditions than coastal Vancouver, which makes cold-weather heat pump capacity, proper sizing and the choice between a heat pump and a dual fuel system especially important. Housing ranges from older farmhouses in Matsqui and Sumas Prairie to newer subdivisions in East Abbotsford, so equipment and ductwork vary widely from one call to the next.
Heating System Requirements and Permits in Abbotsford
The City of Abbotsford requires heating system documentation before a heating system is installed in single-family homes, two-family homes, townhouses and multifamily units with their own heating systems. For forced-air systems, that includes an appliance selection worksheet, a heat loss summary or heat load worksheet, and supply and return duct summaries; hydronic systems need items such as a heat loss summary and a boiler room layout.
Abbotsford's sound bylaw also treats heat pumps as a constant sound source, so outdoor unit placement should consider neighbouring properties. We confirm the requirements that apply to your project before work begins.
