Certified HVAC Inspection in Metro Vancouver – Expert Heating and Cooling System Assessments for Homes and Businesses

When it comes to ensuring the safety, efficiency, and performance of your heating and cooling systems, a certified HVAC inspection is essential. Whether you're a homeowner, property manager, or business owner in Metro Vancouver, having a professional HVAC inspection helps identify potential issues, improve energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of your HVAC system.

  • Extending HVAC Lifespan – Proper maintenance and early detection of wear and tear can extend the life of your furnace, AC, or heat pump.
  • Home Buyers & Sellers HVAC Inspections – If you’re buying or selling a property, an HVAC inspection report ensures the system is in good working condition before closing the deal.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need air conditioning in Vancouver?
Vancouver summers have been getting hotter — the 2021 heat dome saw temperatures over 40°C. Most modern Vancouver homes now install a heat pump that provides both heating and cooling, replacing a furnace and avoiding the need for a separate A/C system.
How much does central A/C cost in Vancouver?
A typical 2.5–3 ton central air conditioner added to an existing forced-air furnace costs $5,500–$9,500 installed. A heat pump conversion (cooling + heating in one unit) is usually a smarter long-term investment given available rebates.
How often should A/C be serviced?
Annual servicing in spring keeps the outdoor coil clean, refrigerant charge correct, and the indoor evaporator coil and condensate drain clear. Skipping service is the single biggest cause of premature compressor failure.

CANRO installs, services and repairs boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, hot water tanks, tankless water heaters, gas fireplaces and air conditioning across Metro Vancouver. We work on residential homes, townhouses and condos throughout the Lower Mainland.
