AC Replacement for Maple Ridge homes

Wetter than most of our service area, sitting against the mountains. Higher-elevation Silver Valley and Whonnock properties see genuine snow accumulation most winters. New subdivisions climbing the hillside through Albion and Silver Valley, older riverside homes in Hammond, and large rural and semi-rural properties out toward Whonnock and Websters Corners. When we quote a replacement in Maple Ridge, those conditions decide the specification.

Summers here are not what they were. Since the 2021 heat dome, cooling has gone from a luxury to something most Lower Mainland homeowners want in place before July.

Our process

How replacement works

  1. Honest assessment

    We start by telling you whether replacement is genuinely warranted. If a repair makes better sense, we say so.

  2. Options and rebates

    You get more than one option at different price points, with available rebates applied to each.

  3. Removal and disposal

    The old equipment comes out and is disposed of properly — that is included, not an extra line.

  4. Installation and commissioning

    New system installed to spec, permitted, tested under load and handed over working.

Local knowledge

What we watch for in Maple Ridge

Wetter than most of our service area, sitting against the mountains. Higher-elevation Silver Valley and Whonnock properties see genuine snow accumulation most winters.

  • Rainfall here is among the highest in Metro Vancouver. Condenser pads need proper drainage and elevation or they sit in standing water through the winter.
  • Silver Valley and Whonnock elevation means colder design temperatures — we don't size a hillside Maple Ridge home the same way we'd size one in Pitt Meadows ten minutes away.
  • Rural eastern properties are often past the gas main, so electric heat pumps and propane systems make up a larger share of our work here.

The City of Maple Ridge issues mechanical permits; gas work falls under Technical Safety BC. Permits are included in our installation scope.

Brands we install and service

FAQ

AC Replacement in Maple Ridge — common questions

How do I know it's time to replace?

Age over 12–15 years, rising power bills, repeated repairs, or a system still running R-22 refrigerant all point to replacement. We use the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than half a new system, replace it.

Should I replace with a heat pump instead?

For most Lower Mainland homes, yes — worth asking about. A heat pump cools exactly like an air conditioner and also heats, and it qualifies for rebates a straight AC replacement does not.
