Why annual maintenance matters
The single biggest predictor of a mid-winter no-heat call or a mid-summer no-cooling call is a system that missed its annual service. A yearly tune-up catches a weak capacitor, a dirty coil, a cracked heat exchanger, or a slow refrigerant leak while it’s still a scheduled visit — not an emergency.
What CANRO checks, by equipment type
| Equipment | What we check |
|---|---|
| Furnace | Filter, ignition/flame sensor, heat exchanger, blower motor, gas pressure, venting |
| Heat pump | Refrigerant charge, outdoor coil clean, defrost cycle, electrical connections, filter |
| Boiler | Combustion efficiency, expansion tank pressure, circulator pump, venting, leaks |
| Air conditioner | Refrigerant charge, coil clean, capacitor test, condensate drain, airflow |
How CANRO structures maintenance visits
CANRO schedules annual (or twice-yearly, for A/C-and-heating combo homes) maintenance visits for Metro Vancouver homeowners. We’ll call or email ahead of your equipment’s due date, and every visit ends with a written report — what was checked, what’s fine, and what (if anything) needs attention, with no pressure to book work you don’t need.

Maintenance Plan FAQs
What does an annual maintenance visit include?+
A typical tune-up includes filter check, coil/heat-exchanger inspection, electrical and safety-control testing, refrigerant charge check (A/C and heat pumps), combustion/venting check (gas equipment), and a written report of anything found.
Does CANRO offer a maintenance plan or is it one-time visits?+
CANRO offers annual (and where useful, twice-yearly) scheduled maintenance visits for furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, and A/C systems. Call to set up a recurring visit for your home — we’ll remind you when it’s due.
Does maintenance void or protect my warranty?+
Most manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance to stay valid on parts claims. CANRO provides a dated service record with every visit.
How much does a maintenance visit cost?+
Pricing depends on equipment type and how many systems are serviced in one visit — CANRO gives a written quote before booking.
Is maintenance worth it if my system seems fine?+
Yes — the majority of mid-season no-heat/no-cooling emergency calls trace back to an issue (dirty coil, weak capacitor, cracked heat exchanger) that a scheduled inspection would have caught early.

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.
