Chilliwack Maintenance FAQs
When should I book furnace maintenance?+
Early fall, before the first cold snap, is ideal — it also means CANRO can order any needed part before you actually need heat.
Does maintenance prevent all breakdowns?+
No system is guaranteed breakdown-free, but a majority of mid-season no-heat calls trace back to an issue an annual check would have caught early.
Does skipping maintenance void my warranty?+
Many manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance to stay valid on parts claims — CANRO provides a dated service record each visit.

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.
