Hiring a licensed, insured contractor protects your home, your insurance and your family. If a quote seems low, ask whether the company is pulling permits and is properly licensed — it’s often the difference.
Frequently asked questions
Why does licensing matter?
Licensed work is permitted and inspected, keeps your home insurance valid, and ensures gas and venting are safe. Unlicensed work risks all three.
Will you show proof of insurance?
Yes — just ask. We carry full liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage and are happy to provide documentation.
Are your technicians certified?
Yes — Red Seal certified HVAC mechanics and TSBC-licensed gas fitters, working directly for CANRO (never subcontracted).
