Real reviews from customers across Metro Vancouver, from furnace and heat pump work to maintenance for homes and strata properties.
"I called Vanheat Services when I was concerned that our older furnace may have a small gas leak... Despite the age of the furnace Shaun never tried to talk me into replacing any part of the furnace but did take the time to answer my questions about what my options were if the furnace did stop working in the future, including current rebates available through Fortis BC. Very knowledgeable, professional, and provided great customer service!"

Common HVAC Problems in Vancouver Properties
HVAC issues Vancouver properties can experience, what can cause them and how they are usually fixed.
Aging Boilers and Radiators in Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant
What you see: Cold radiators while the boiler runs, falling pressure, leaking valves or kettling noises, which can occur in older character homes with original hydronic systems in areas such as Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant and Grandview-Woodland.
Cause: Original boilers, circulator pumps, expansion tanks and relief valves wear with age, and sludge from slow internal corrosion can restrict flow through older radiators.
Fix: Boiler repair typically costs $150 to $600, with the $189 boiler diagnostic credited toward approved repair work. At end of life, replacement with a high-efficiency condensing boiler is quoted in writing. See boiler services.
Worn Furnaces in East Vancouver Homes
What you see: A furnace that short-cycles, blows cold air or leaves upstairs rooms colder than the main floor, which can occur in older forced-air homes, including Vancouver Specials, across East Vancouver.
Cause: Older furnaces wear with age, and ductwork that was altered during suite conversions or renovations can restrict airflow.
Fix: A diagnostic identifies the failed part and checks airflow. If replacement makes more sense, we quote a furnace, heat pump or dual fuel system in writing after a free in-home estimate.
HRV Neglect in Downtown, West End and Yaletown Condos
What you see: Stuffy air, condensation on windows and lingering cooking odours, which can occur in newer airtight condos across Downtown, the West End and Yaletown.
Cause: Airtight construction relies on the HRV for fresh air, and filter and core service is easy to overlook.
Fix: HRV service covers filters, core cleaning, the condensate drain and the motor, quoted in writing when you book. Heat pump installations are also available for high-rise and strata buildings, subject to strata approval.
Replacing AC in a Vancouver House
What you see: A failed air conditioner in a detached home or duplex, where a like-for-like cooling-only replacement may no longer be allowed.
Cause: Since January 1, 2023, new installed air conditioning in City of Vancouver detached homes and duplexes must also be able to provide heating.
Fix: We review the requirements and quote a heat pump that heats and cools, which may also qualify for rebates. See air conditioning installation.
Rooftop Unit Faults on Commercial Drive and Main Street
What you see: Uneven temperatures across a shop or restaurant, a rooftop unit that trips or short-cycles, or noisy fans, which can occur in commercial buildings along Commercial Drive, Main Street and Broadway.
Cause: Rooftop units are exposed to weather year-round, and filters, belts, coils and controls need regular service to keep running reliably.
Fix: We diagnose the rooftop unit, quote repairs in writing and can set up scheduled maintenance. Commercial work is quoted in writing after a site assessment.
Seeing any of these? Call (604) 281-4790. Describing the symptom when you book helps us send the right technician and parts.
Why HVAC Service in Vancouver Has Its Own Considerations
Three things shape how we approach HVAC work in Vancouver.
City Permits
In the City of Vancouver, heating and cooling installations generally need a mechanical permit, and electrical work needs an electrical permit. We confirm the applicable permits before installation work begins.
Heating Required With New AC
New installed air conditioning in City of Vancouver detached homes and duplexes must also provide heating, and every installed heat pump must meet the Noise Control By-law. The City recommends heat pumps with a sound power level of 55 dBA or less, so we plan outdoor unit placement with neighbours in mind.
Varied Housing
Character homes with boilers, East Vancouver forced-air homes, laneway homes and suites, and Downtown towers each bring different equipment, from cast iron boilers to ductless heat pumps.

Heat Pump and Dual Fuel Rebates for Vancouver Homeowners
Rebate eligibility depends on your existing heating fuel, property type, household income and current program requirements, and programs change during the year.

For homes heated mainly by electricity, BC Hydro offers $4,000 for whole-home heating or $1,500 for partial-home heating when a qualifying heat pump replaces electric baseboards or an electric furnace, while program funding lasts.
FortisBC Dual Fuel Rebate
For qualifying residential properties, FortisBC offers a dual fuel heating system rebate of up to $4,000, or up to $8,000 for income-qualified customers, when a primary gas furnace at least 15 years old is replaced with a new central ducted heat pump and compatible gas furnace listed as a qualifying combination, installed on or after October 15, 2026 by a contractor listed on the HPCN for this rebate. Vanheat Services is listed on the HPCN for this rebate. FortisBC states that its dual fuel rebates cannot be combined with other FortisBC, provincial or federally funded rebate programs. Program details: dual fuel rebate and income-qualified dual fuel rebate. See our dual fuel system installation page.

Common Vancouver HVAC Questions
How much does HVAC service cost in Vancouver?

Repair pricing is provided in writing after diagnosis and before approved repair work begins. Heat pump repair typically costs $250 to $1,200, boiler repair $150 to $600, annual boiler service $120 to $250 for a single system, and annual furnace maintenance $149.

Can I install central air conditioning in my Vancouver house?
Since January 1, 2023, new installed air conditioning in City of Vancouver detached homes and duplexes must also be able to provide heating, so a heat pump is installed there instead of cooling-only AC. Portable units are not affected, and other building types have their own requirements. We review the applicable requirements before recommending equipment.
Do I need a permit to install a heat pump or AC in Vancouver?
Usually. In the City of Vancouver, heating and cooling installations generally need a mechanical permit, and electrical work needs an electrical permit. Every installed heat pump must meet the City's Noise Control By-law, and the City recommends heat pumps with a sound power level of 55 dBA or less. We review the applicable permits and outdoor unit placement before installation.
Should I install a heat pump or replace my furnace in Vancouver?
Vancouver's mild coastal climate can suit heat pumps well when the system is sized for the home's heating load, and many homeowners also choose a dual fuel setup that keeps a gas furnace as backup. For homes, heat pump installation typically costs $3,000 to $5,500 for a ductless single-zone system and $6,000 to $14,000 for central or multi-zone systems, and residential gas furnace installation starts from $6,000. We quote the options in writing so you can compare.
Are there heat pump and dual fuel rebates for Vancouver homeowners?
For qualifying residential properties, FortisBC offers a dual fuel heating system rebate of up to $4,000, or up to $8,000 for income-qualified customers, when a primary gas furnace at least 15 years old is replaced with a qualifying heat pump and gas furnace system installed on or after October 15, 2026. FortisBC states that its dual fuel rebates cannot be combined with other FortisBC, provincial or federally funded rebate programs. Eligibility and terms apply, and FortisBC determines final eligibility. BC Hydro offers $4,000 for whole-home heating or $1,500 for partial-home heating when a heat pump replaces a primary all-electric heating system, and the CleanBC Energy Savings Program offers income-qualified rebates. Vanheat Services is listed on the HPCN for the FortisBC dual fuel rebate, and we help you confirm eligibility before you commit.
Do you service commercial HVAC in Vancouver?
Yes. Vanheat Services provides heating, cooling and boiler service for commercial buildings, offices, shops and retail stores across Vancouver, including rooftop units and VRF systems. Commercial work is quoted in writing after a site assessment.
