Heating Repair for Burnaby homes

Burnaby homes run their systems hard — winter lows around 0–3 °C and summer highs of 22–26 °C mean equipment here rarely gets a quiet season. Dense and vertical near Metrotown and Brentwood, with substantial stock of post-war bungalows and 1960s–80s homes through Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights and Edmonds. That mix is why we carry parts for both older and current equipment on the van.

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.

When to call

Signs you need heating repair

  • Rooms that never reach the thermostat setting
  • Heat that cuts out intermittently
  • A sharp, unexplained jump in your heating bill
  • Unfamiliar noises when the system cycles
  • Cold spots in parts of the house that used to be fine

Recognise any of these? Call us at (604) 572-7944 — the sooner we look at it, the smaller the repair usually is.

Our process

How a repair call works

  1. You call, we book

    A person answers and gives you a real arrival window — not a nine-hour range.

  2. Full diagnostic

    We test the system rather than guessing from the symptom, so the fault we fix is the one you actually have.

  3. Price before work

    You get the cost and the options in plain language, and you decide before anything is opened up.

  4. Repair and verify

    We complete the repair, then run the system and confirm it performs the way it should before we leave.

Local knowledge

What we watch for in Burnaby

Mild and coastal, though Burnaby Mountain and Capitol Hill sit high enough to hold snow and run several degrees colder than the valley floor around Metrotown.

  • A large share of Burnaby work is in stratas. Exterior condenser placement, noise limits and building envelope penetrations all need strata sign-off — we've done this often enough to know what the councils ask for.
  • Older Capitol Hill and Heights homes commonly have no existing ductwork, which makes a ductless mini-split the practical route to cooling without tearing up finished ceilings.
  • Elevation matters here: a system sized for Metrotown may be short on capacity for a home partway up Burnaby Mountain.

The City of Burnaby issues mechanical and building permits; gas fitting is regulated by Technical Safety BC. Strata buildings may require separate approval, which we help coordinate.
