Choosing an HVAC contractor is one of the more important home decisions you will make — the right one keeps you comfortable for years, while the wrong one costs you in callbacks and lost warranties. Here is how to choose well in Greater Vancouver.

What to look for

  • Check licensing and insurance. In BC, gas work requires TSBC gas-fitting licensing, and HVAC work should be done by Red Seal mechanics. Confirm WorkSafeBC and liability coverage too.
  • Look for real local reviews. Look for a consistent track record on Google with detailed, recent reviews — not just a high number.
  • Ask about who does the work. Some companies subcontract. Ask whether their own technicians do the installation and service.
  • Demand upfront pricing. A good contractor gives you a clear, written quote before starting — not a vague estimate that balloons later.
  • Confirm rebate and warranty handling. The best contractors handle CleanBC/BC Hydro/FortisBC rebate paperwork and protect your manufacturer warranty.

How CANRO measures up

Frequently asked questions

What licence should an HVAC contractor have in BC?

For gas appliances, a TSBC gas-fitting licence is required; HVAC work should be performed by Red Seal-certified mechanics, with WorkSafeBC coverage.

Is the cheapest HVAC quote the best?

Rarely. The lowest quote often skips proper sizing, permits or quality parts. Compare scope and credentials, not just price.

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.
What HVAC services does CANRO offer in Metro Vancouver?
CANRO installs, services and repairs boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, hot water tanks, tankless water heaters, gas fireplaces and air conditioning across Metro Vancouver. We work on residential homes, townhouses and condos throughout the Lower Mainland.
