Frequently asked questions
Do you offer same-day furnace repair in Burnaby?+
Whenever our schedule allows, yes - and because we are based centrally in Burnaby we can usually reach Burnaby quickly. Call early in the day for the best chance at same-day service; we will give you an honest ETA for your address rather than a vague window.
How much does furnace repair cost in Burnaby?+
Most repairs land between about $150 and $650 depending on the part - an igniter or flame sensor is at the lower end, a control board or gas valve at the higher end. We diagnose the real cause, quote a firm price before starting, and put the diagnostic fee toward the repair.
Is it worth repairing an old furnace, or should I replace it?+
If your furnace is under roughly 12-15 years old and the repair is modest, fixing it is usually the right call. Past that age - especially with a cracked heat exchanger or repeated failures - replacement often makes more sense, and a high-efficiency furnace or heat pump can qualify for thousands in BC rebates. We give you the honest math, not a sales pitch.
My furnace smells like gas - what should I do?+
Take it seriously. If you smell a strong, persistent gas odour, leave the home and call the FortisBC emergency line and 911. For a faint smell on start-up or an ignition issue, shut the furnace off and call CANRO - we are TSBC-licensed gas fitters and will make it safe.

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.
