Furnace Installation for Vancouver homes
A furnace install is only as good as the sizing and the workmanship behind it. CANRO sizes every system to your home with a real heat-loss calculation, then installs and commissions it properly. Vancouver's housing runs from century-old character homes in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant and Grandview to 1960s-70s Vancouver Specials across the East Side and glass condo towers downtown.
Many older Vancouver homes still run hot-water boilers and cast-iron radiators, while new builds face the City's restrictions on gas heating. Vancouver has a mild, wet coastal winter that rarely stays below freezing for long, and we factor that into every recommendation. The City of Vancouver now limits gas heating in new and substantially-renovated homes, which makes a heat pump the default choice for many Vancouver projects.
When it is time to replace your furnace
- Your furnace is 15+ years old and repairs are adding up
- Uneven heating or rooms that never warm up
- Rising gas bills as efficiency drops
- A cracked heat exchanger or repeated safety lockouts
- You want air conditioning too - a heat pump can replace the furnace and add cooling
- You are renovating and want a quieter, high-efficiency system
How we install your new furnace
- A heat-loss calculation so the furnace is sized for your home - not oversized, which short-cycles and wastes fuel
- Honest options: a high-efficiency gas furnace, or a heat pump / dual-fuel system that unlocks bigger rebates
- Permit pulled and inspection booked - every install is code-compliant
- Professional commissioning with combustion analysis so it runs at rated efficiency
- We confirm rebate eligibility and file the CleanBC / FortisBC paperwork for you
Brands we work with

Frequently asked questions
How much does a new furnace cost in Vancouver?+
A high-efficiency (condensing) gas furnace installed typically runs about $5,000-$8,500 in Metro Vancouver, depending on the size of your home, the efficiency level, and any venting or electrical changes. We give you a firm written quote and apply every FortisBC and CleanBC rebate you qualify for.
Should I get a furnace or a heat pump?+
If you want the lowest upfront cost and already have gas, a high-efficiency furnace is simple and effective. But a heat pump adds air conditioning, cuts carbon, and unlocks far larger rebates - and Vancouver's mild winters suit it perfectly. Many Vancouver homeowners choose a dual-fuel system: heat pump most of the year, furnace as backup. We will lay out the honest trade-offs.
What size furnace do I need?+
It depends on your home's heat loss - square footage, insulation, windows and layout - not a rule of thumb. We do a proper calculation, because an oversized furnace short-cycles, wears out faster and heats unevenly. Right-sizing is one of the biggest differences between a good install and a cheap one.
Are there rebates for a new furnace in Vancouver?+
Yes - FortisBC offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency gas equipment, and if you choose a heat pump, CleanBC, BC Hydro and federal programs can stack into thousands of dollars. We confirm what your equipment qualifies for and file the paperwork for you.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a furnace be serviced?
Annual servicing is recommended for gas furnaces, ideally before the start of the heating season in September or October. Service includes burner cleaning, heat exchanger inspection, ignition check, blower motor cleaning, gas pressure adjustment and a full safety test for carbon-monoxide leaks.
How long does a furnace last in Vancouver's climate?
High-efficiency gas furnaces typically last 15–20 years with annual maintenance. Vancouver's mild climate means lower run-times than colder Canadian cities, which extends life — but salt-air corrosion near the coast and high humidity can shorten it.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
Common causes are a thermostat set to "on" instead of "auto", a tripped flame sensor, a clogged condensate drain shutting down a high-efficiency unit, low gas pressure, or a failed ignitor. Most are repairable in a single service visit.
How much does a new furnace cost in Vancouver?
A typical residential high-efficiency gas furnace in Metro Vancouver costs $4,500–$8,500 installed depending on size, brand and venting requirements. Variable-speed and modulating models are at the upper end.
What is the most reliable furnace brand?
In our experience servicing Vancouver homes since 1999, Carrier, Lennox, Bryant and York have produced the most reliable mid-to-high-efficiency furnaces with the best parts availability. Goodman and Rheem offer strong value at lower price points.
