What "code-compliant" actually means for you
- Work performed under our TSBC licences (LGA0043870 · LBP0046450)
- Permit pulled and independent inspection passed
- Correct venting, combustion air, clearances and gas sizing
- Older systems brought up to current code on replacement
Cut-rate, unpermitted work can fail inspection, void insurance and endanger your family. CANRO does it right — see permits & inspections and our safety standards.

How do I know the work is to code?
It’s permitted and passed by an independent TSBC/municipal inspector — and we give you the documentation.
Does code-compliant work cost more?
Slightly more than cutting corners — but it protects your insurance, safety and resale value. It’s the only way we work.
What if a previous install wasn’t to code?
We identify and correct it on replacement, and permit the new work properly.

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.
