Five signs your furnace is done.
Furnaces don't usually fail without warning — they tell you first. Here's what West Vancouver homeowners notice before a breakdown.
It's 15–20 years old
Past this age, efficiency has dropped and major parts are living on borrowed time. A planned replacement beats a January emergency.
Gas bills keep climbing
An aging furnace can waste a large share of the gas it burns. Modern condensing furnaces convert nearly all of it into heat.
Repairs are getting frequent
One repair is maintenance. Two or three in two years is your furnace telling you it's tired — especially if any single repair is pricey.
Uneven heat and new noises
Cold rooms, constant cycling, banging or rattling on startup — all classic end-of-life symptoms in older West Vancouver homes.
Near-total efficiency. Whisper-quiet.
We install high-efficiency condensing furnaces from Lennox and other leading brands — units that turn nearly all their gas into usable heat, with variable-speed blowers that run quieter and even out temperatures room to room. Compared with a 20-year-old furnace, the difference in comfort and gas use is dramatic.
Every replacement starts with a proper heat-load calculation for your home — square footage, insulation, windows, and our coastal climate — so the furnace is sized to run efficiently for 15 to 20 years, not short-cycle itself to an early grave.
Or pair it with a heat pump.
Many West Vancouver homeowners choose dual-fuel: a cold-climate heat pump does the efficient everyday heating, and the gas furnace fires only on the coldest nights. You get the lowest running costs of both worlds plus built-in air conditioning for summer — and the combination can qualify for substantial BC rebates.
During your free assessment we'll lay out furnace-only vs. dual-fuel honestly, with real numbers for your home, so you can choose with confidence.
Built for the homes we actually see.
From Ambleside bungalows with original 1990s furnaces to British Properties estates with zoned systems, we know West Vancouver housing stock. Hillside installations get proper condensate drainage and venting runs; older homes get ductwork inspected and sealed so your new furnace isn't pushing heat into the crawlspace.
Heat back the same day.
Step 1 — Free in-home assessment
We inspect your existing furnace, ductwork, and venting, then calculate the right size and efficiency for your home.

Step 3 — Same-day installation
Our crew removes the old unit, installs the new furnace, and commissions it — most homes done in a day with heat restored the same evening.
Step 4 — Testing & walkthrough
We test combustion, airflow, and safety controls, then show you the thermostat and filter routine.
Common questions
How do I know it's time to replace my furnace?
The usual signs: your furnace is 15–20 years old, repair bills are climbing, heating costs keep rising, some rooms never get warm, or the unit is making new noises. If a repair costs more than about a third of a replacement — or your furnace needs frequent fixes — replacement is usually the smarter money.
How much does furnace replacement cost in West Vancouver?
It depends on the size of your home, the efficiency rating you choose, and whether venting or ductwork needs updating. We quote one fixed, upfront price after a free in-home assessment — no surprises. Call (604) 999-4441 and we'll give you an honest number for your home.
Should I repair my old furnace or replace it?
If your furnace is under 12 years old and the fix is minor, repair usually wins. Past 15 years with rising bills or repeated breakdowns, a new high-efficiency furnace typically pays for itself in reliability and lower gas use. We'll give you a straight answer either way — we don't sell replacements you don't need.
Can I switch from a furnace to a heat pump instead?
Often yes — and many West Vancouver homeowners do, especially with up to $21,500 in BC rebates available for switching off fossil-fuel heat. A popular middle path is dual-fuel: a heat pump handles most of the winter efficiently while your furnace takes over on the coldest nights. Ask us during your free assessment which option fits your home and budget.
How long does a furnace replacement take?
Most like-for-like furnace replacements are completed in a single day. If we're also updating venting, gas lines, or thermostats, it can extend into a second day. You'll have heat back the same day in nearly every case.
What size furnace does my home need?
The right size comes from a heat-load calculation based on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and West Vancouver's climate — not from matching the old unit's label. An oversized furnace short-cycles, wastes gas, and wears out faster; we size it properly so it runs efficiently for 15–20 years.
