A pre-listing boiler inspection lets Tsawwassen sellers address issues on their own terms, before a buyer's inspector finds them first.

Quick answer
Getting your gas boiler inspected before listing a Tsawwassen home means you find out about venting, condition, or age issues on your own timeline, not during a buyer's subject-removal period when there's pressure to fix things fast or negotiate a price reduction. A CANRO seller's inspection gives you a written report of the boiler's condition and any recommended work, so you can decide what to address before listing and what to simply disclose honestly.

When a buyer's inspector flags a boiler issue during their inspection period, you're often negotiating a credit or a rushed repair under a tight deadline, sometimes at a disadvantage since the buyer holds more leverage at that stage. Getting ahead of it with your own inspection means you can choose to repair, disclose, or price around any findings on your own terms, well before an offer is even on the table.
We assess the boiler's combustion and venting, the condition of key components like the expansion tank and pressure relief valve, whether the distribution system it feeds is functioning evenly across the home, and whether there's any sign of corrosion, leaks, or deferred maintenance. We also note whether the installation appears to have proper permit history, since an unpermitted boiler replacement is a common point buyers' inspectors and lawyers ask about.
Coastal wind exposure on the Tsawwassen bluff and near the water can affect venting termination condition over time, particularly on older atmospheric-vent boilers, so we check for weather-related wear that might not be obvious from inside. If your property sits within Tsawwassen First Nation land rather than under Corporation of Delta jurisdiction, we also confirm what permit or service documentation is realistically available, since that affects what you can show a buyer's team.
A written report covering condition, any recommended repairs, and honest context on remaining service life (framed as typical, not guaranteed), which you can choose to share with your realtor, keep for your own planning, or provide to buyers proactively as part of your disclosure package. Some sellers choose to complete minor recommended repairs before listing; others prefer to price the home accordingly and disclose openly. Either approach works, but it works better when it's your decision rather than one made under a buyer's deadline.
If the inspection turns up a repair worth addressing before listing, typical boiler repairs run $250–$1,800, most falling between $400–$900, as a ballpark, not a quote, confirmed once we've diagnosed the specific issue. If the boiler is old enough or has enough going on that replacement makes more sense than a pre-sale repair, our replacement ballpark is $7,500–$15,000+, and we'll walk you through the trade-off honestly rather than pushing either option.
Safety note
Boiler inspection and any pre-listing repairs should involve a Technical Safety BC licensed gas fitter; CANRO holds gas licence LGA0043870 and boiler licence LBP0046450. If you ever smell gas in a home you're preparing to sell, leave the property and call FortisBC's emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 from outside.
It lets you address or disclose issues on your own timeline instead of negotiating repairs or credits under the pressure of a buyer's subject-removal deadline.
No, buyers will typically still have their own inspection done. A seller's inspection just means you already know what they're likely to find, and you've had the chance to respond to it first.
It can, particularly on older atmospheric-vent systems near the bluff or waterfront, where exterior termination hardware can show weather-related wear worth checking before listing.
Not necessarily. Some sellers repair minor issues; others price the home accordingly and disclose honestly. We give you the findings so you can make that call, not a mandate to fix everything.
We confirm what permit or service documentation is realistically available for the property, since it may be filed differently than for Corporation of Delta properties.
Pricing depends on the scope of the visit, confirmed when you book. If repairs are recommended, typical costs run $250–$1,800 (most $400–$900), ballpark, not a quote.
