TSBC-Licensed Gas FittersRed Seal HVACWorkSafeBC InsuredPermitted & Inspected InstallsServing Metro Vancouver Since 1999We File Your Rebates Licensed, insured and properly permitted
Every CANRO installation is done by licensed technicians, with the required permit pulled and the inspection passed. Gas work is carried out by a TSBC-licensed gas-fitter; our installers are Red Seal-qualified. This is not a formality - it is what protects your home, your warranty and your safety. An unpermitted gas appliance is a real liability, and we never cut that corner.
- Red Seal-certified HVAC technicians
- TSBC-licensed gas-fitting
- Fully insured for your protection
- Permits and inspections included as standard
Honest quoting - no surprises, no pressure
We size equipment to your home with a proper heat-loss calculation, not a rule of thumb that oversells you a bigger unit. We give you a clear written quote, explain your options in plain language, and tell you honestly when a repair still makes sense versus a replacement. You will never get a high-pressure pitch or a surprise charge from us.
We tell you what we would do in your home
When you ask "what would you do if it were your house?", you get a straight answer - because the goal is a customer who calls us again and refers their neighbour, not a one-time upsell.
Local since 1999 - and we stand behind our work
We are not a national call-centre brand. CANRO has served Metro Vancouver - Burnaby, Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam and across the region - since 1999. We know the housing stock, the climate, and the local permit and rebate processes. We register your equipment warranty, stand behind our workmanship, and are here for the follow-up call.
A reputation built on real reviews
We hold a 4.9-star rating across 85+ Google reviews from real Metro Vancouver homeowners - earned one honest job at a time. We would rather you read what our customers actually say than take our word for it.
