Heating Installation for Richmond homes

Sizing a system for Richmond means designing against 1–4 °C winter lows and 21–25 °C summer highs — not a provincial average. Extensive high-rise and townhome development through City Centre and Brighouse, 1970s–90s single-family homes across Broadmoor and Terra Nova, and heritage and newer homes in Steveston. We assess the house in front of us rather than working from a rule of thumb.

Our winters are rarely severe, but they're long, damp and grey — and a heating system that struggles in November will be worse by February.

Our process

How installation works

  1. In-home assessment

    We measure the house rather than the old equipment — square footage, insulation, windows, orientation and layout.

  2. Load calculation

    Sizing comes from that assessment. Over-sizing is the single most common installation error and it costs you comfort and equipment life.

  3. Written quote

    Fixed pricing with the rebates you qualify for already applied, so you see the real number.

  4. Permitted installation

    We pull the municipal and gas permits, install to spec, and protect your floors while we work.

  5. Commissioning and walkthrough

    We test the system under load, balance it, and show you how to run it before we leave.

Local knowledge

What we watch for in Richmond

Built on the Fraser delta at close to sea level, Richmond is the mildest city we serve. Ocean influence keeps both extremes in check, but it comes with wind and salt air.

  • Richmond sits at or near sea level with a very high water table. Crawlspaces flood more readily here than anywhere else we work, so furnace and ductwork placement has to account for it.
  • Steveston and western Richmond get direct salt exposure off the Strait — coastal-rated outdoor equipment is not an upsell here, it's what makes the warranty hold.
  • City Centre's tower density means most work is strata-governed, with restrictions on exterior penetrations and balcony equipment that shape what's actually installable.

The City of Richmond issues mechanical and building permits, and gas fitting is regulated by Technical Safety BC. We manage permitting and strata documentation.
