Quick answer
Repairing an IBC gas boiler in Delta typically runs $250 to $1,800, with most calls landing between $400 and $900, plus a $90–$150 diagnostic visit usually credited toward the repair. That's a ballpark from 2026 public market data, not a quote — CANRO's certified gas technicians confirm the actual cost once they've identified the failed part.

| Repair type | Typical ballpark |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic / service call | $90–$150 (credited to the repair) |
| Expansion tank | $200–$800 |
| Circulator pump | $300–$1,100 |
| Igniter or flame sensor | $100–$400 |
| Annual boiler service, for comparison | $250–$450 |
Labour runs $95–$165 an hour depending on access and how much disassembly the repair requires.
These are general patterns, not a diagnosis for any specific unit — a technician needs to inspect the actual boiler to confirm what's failed.
A single moderate repair on an otherwise sound boiler is almost always worth doing. If an older system is showing repeated failures across multiple components, compare the running repair total against a new install ($6,500–$14,000+) or a full replacement ($7,500–$15,000+) with your technician rather than continuing to fix one part at a time.
Because so much of Delta sits on low-lying, dike-protected land, a boiler repair call in an older Ladner or North Delta basement is a good opportunity to check the whole condensate drainage path, not just the immediate fault. If the floor drain is slow or the drain line has an awkward low point, that can contribute to repeat failures on the trap or related components even after a repair is completed.
This is less of a factor in newer Tsawwassen construction, where mechanical rooms and drainage are generally built to current standards from the start, but it's a detail worth raising with your technician if your home is older or has had any past drainage issues.
Safety note
If you ever smell gas near your boiler, leave the home immediately and call FortisBC's emergency line at 1-800-663-9911. Gas boiler repair must be performed by a Technical Safety BC licensed gas fitter; CANRO holds gas licence LGA0043870 and boiler licence LBP0046450.
It can make basement drainage more marginal in older homes, which affects how well condensate from a condensing boiler drains — a technician checks this as part of any repair or maintenance visit.
Yes, the $90–$150 diagnostic visit is normally credited toward the repair if you proceed with the work at that appointment.
Boilers still running original piping in older Ladner homes tend to see more circulator pump and drainage-related repairs than newer systems.
A single moderate repair on an otherwise sound system is usually worth it; repeated failures across multiple components are worth comparing against replacement with your technician.
Most of Delta is on the same soft municipal supply as the rest of Metro Vancouver's urban core, so scale-related wear is less common here than in harder-water inland areas.
A like-for-like repair generally doesn't; venting changes typically require a Corporation of Delta permit.
If the underlying drain line or floor drain has a poor slope or a low point, the same symptom can recur even after the trap itself is fixed, which is worth flagging to your technician for a broader look.
