Retrofit HVAC for Surrey homes

A wide mix — 1970s–90s ranchers and two-storeys across Newton and Fleetwood, dense newer townhome and condo development in City Centre, and large modern homes in South Surrey and Cloverdale. With winter lows near 1–4 °C and summers reaching 22–26 °C, we see the full range of what Surrey equipment has to cope with.

Whole-system work: when the problem isn't one appliance but how the heating, cooling, ductwork and ventilation work together.

Local knowledge

What we watch for in Surrey

Cool, wet winters and summers that have grown noticeably hotter since the 2021 heat dome. Overnight lows rarely stay below freezing for long, which is exactly the profile an air-source heat pump handles well.

  • Surrey's rapid build-out means we work on everything from 50-year-old gravity furnaces to brand-new high-efficiency systems, sometimes on the same street.
  • Larger South Surrey and Cloverdale homes often need zoning or a second system to heat and cool evenly — a single undersized unit is the most common problem we're called to fix.
  • Townhome and condo work in City Centre usually needs strata approval before any exterior unit goes in; we prepare the documentation as part of the quote.

Mechanical and gas work in Surrey is permitted through the City of Surrey, and gas fitting is carried out under Technical Safety BC regulation. We pull the permits for our installations.
