The equipment is only part of a good furnace installation; sizing, venting, and permitting decide whether it actually performs the way it should.

Quick answer
CANRO installs natural-gas Carrier furnaces in Burnaby homes, with the installation work — correct sizing, proper venting, and permitted, inspected gas connections — treated as just as important as the equipment choice itself. Carrier offers furnaces across a range of efficiency tiers, and the right one for a given Burnaby home depends on the house's size, existing ductwork, and available venting path more than any single feature on a spec sheet.

We calculate heating load based on your home's actual square footage, insulation era, window exposure, and ceiling height before recommending furnace output. Burnaby's mix of housing — original 1950s and 60s bungalows, later infill construction, and homes with an added basement suite or laneway house — means two houses of similar size can need noticeably different furnace output. An oversized furnace cycles too often and wastes energy; an undersized one runs constantly without keeping up on the coldest nights.
Carrier builds furnaces from simpler single-stage models through higher-efficiency condensing units, and each category has different venting requirements: single-stage furnaces typically use metal flue venting, while condensing furnaces vent through PVC pipe to an exterior wall and produce condensate that needs a proper drain path. We explain which tier fits your home's existing venting and layout, and what changing tiers would involve, before you decide.
Every furnace installation in Burnaby requires a permit through the City of Burnaby, and the completed work is inspected under Technical Safety BC rules. Venting has to meet current clearance requirements at the exterior termination, which matters more on tighter urban lots than on larger properties with more room around the house. CANRO manages the permit and inspection process as a standard part of the job.
As a ballpark, not a quote, furnace installation or replacement in Burnaby generally runs $4,500 to $9,500 or more. A direct, like-for-like replacement in an easily accessible basement sits at the lower end; a change in furnace tier that requires new venting, ductwork modification, or work in a tight mechanical space moves toward the higher end. A firm number comes only after CANRO assesses your specific home.
The crew removes the old furnace, sets and secures the new one, connects gas, electrical, ductwork, and venting, then tests the complete system through a full heating cycle before considering the job done. Most single-furnace replacements in Burnaby are completed within a day; ductwork or venting changes can extend the timeline.

Safety note
Furnace installation involves gas piping and venting work that must be completed by a Technical Safety BC licensed gas fitter, with a permit and inspection. If you ever smell gas near a furnace, leave the house and call FortisBC's emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 from outside.
No. We're an independent, licensed Metro Vancouver gas contractor that installs Carrier furnaces along with other brands, without any factory or authorized dealer claim.
We calculate it based on your home's actual square footage, insulation, windows, and layout rather than a generic estimate, since correct sizing directly affects comfort and equipment life.
Yes, a City of Burnaby permit and Technical Safety BC inspection are required, and CANRO handles both as part of the installation.
Often yes, though it may require new venting and a condensate drain path that the previous furnace didn't need. We'll explain exactly what that involves for your specific home before you decide.
