Heat Pump Installation for Burnaby homes
Heat pumps are the fastest-growing heating choice in the region - one system heats in winter, cools in summer, and qualifies for thousands in rebates. CANRO installs cold-climate heat pumps sized for Metro Vancouver. Burnaby is CANRO's home base - and home to everything from post-war bungalows and Vancouver Specials to hillside houses on Capitol Hill and Burnaby Mountain and the towers of Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed.
A huge range of home ages means we see it all here - aging furnaces and boilers in older houses, and high-efficiency systems and heat pumps in newer builds and condos.

As a Burnaby-based company we reach every Burnaby neighbourhood fast - and we know the permit process at Burnaby City Hall inside out.

Frequently asked questions
Do heat pumps work in Burnaby winters?+
Yes - extremely well. Metro Vancouver has one of the mildest winter climates in Canada, and modern cold-climate heat pumps hold strong heating capacity well below freezing. For the vast majority of Burnaby homes, a properly sized cold-climate heat pump heats the home on its own all winter.
How much does a heat pump cost in Burnaby?+
A ducted (central) heat pump typically runs about $14,000-$24,000 installed before rebates, depending on home size, ductwork and electrical work. Ductless mini-splits vary with the number of zones. After stacking CleanBC, BC Hydro and federal rebates - and income-qualified amounts where eligible - the net cost is often far lower.
Ducted or ductless - which is right for my home?+
If you already have ductwork from a furnace, a ducted heat pump usually reuses it and heats/cools the whole home evenly. If you have baseboards or hot-water heat (no ducts), a ductless mini-split - one outdoor unit feeding wall or ceiling heads - is the efficient choice. We recommend based on your home, not on what is easiest to install.
Will I need an electrical panel upgrade?+
Sometimes. A heat pump adds electrical load, and some older Burnaby homes have 100-amp service near capacity. We run a load calculation up front; many installs fit existing service, and where they don't, options include a panel upgrade, a load-management device, or a dual-fuel setup that keeps peak demand low.

Frequently asked questions
Is a heat pump worth it in Vancouver?
Yes. Vancouver's mild winters (average lows above -5°C) are ideal for cold-climate heat pumps. A properly sized modern heat pump can cover 100% of heating and cooling for most homes, cut heating bills by 30–60% versus electric baseboards or oil, and qualifies for combined BC Hydro, FortisBC and federal rebates.
What rebates are available for heat pumps in BC?
Rebates are available through CleanBC, BC Hydro, FortisBC and the federal Greener Homes program, with additional income-qualified top-ups for eligible households. The amount depends on your home, equipment and income — CANRO is a registered contractor and handles the paperwork and confirms exactly what you qualify for.
Should I get a ducted heat pump or ductless mini-split?
If you already have ductwork from a furnace, a ducted central heat pump is usually the better choice for whole-home comfort. Ductless mini-splits are ideal for additions, suites, garage conversions, and homes without ducts (radiant heated houses).
How long does a heat pump last?
A modern heat pump installed by a qualified contractor typically lasts 15–20 years. Annual maintenance, regular filter changes and keeping the outdoor coil clear of leaves and debris all extend service life.
Do heat pumps work in cold weather?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps from Mitsubishi, Daikin, Carrier, Lennox and Bosch maintain rated capacity down to -15°C and continue producing heat (at reduced capacity) down to -25°C — far colder than Metro Vancouver ever gets.
