Furnace Repair in New Westminster: What to Know
New Westminster has some of the oldest houses in the region, especially around Queens Park. A heritage house can have an old furnace, older ductwork or a furnace that replaced an oil or gravity system years ago.
That doesn’t mean it has to be replaced. David tests it, explains what he finds and tells you whether a repair is worth it on a furnace that age.
What Happens When David Comes Out
He starts by watching the furnace try to start, because the point where it stops tells him which part of the safety chain failed. Then he tests that part: the igniter, flame sensor, pressure switch, inducer motor, limit switch, gas valve or control board.
You get the finding and the repair price before any work starts. After the repair he runs the furnace through several heating cycles and checks the gas connections for leaks.
Repair or Replace?
Compare repair and replacement using the diagnosed fault, repair price, parts availability and condition of the rest of the furnace. Age provides context, but it does not decide the outcome. A heat-exchanger concern needs assessment before the options are discussed. Related: furnace installation in New Westminster.
A yearly furnace service in New Westminster ($189) catches worn igniters, dirty flame sensors and clogged filters before they shut the furnace down.

Questions
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can talk it through, but an accurate repair price needs the diagnosis. The service call is $169 (call-out and diagnosis, parts extra), and the repair is priced before any work starts.
Our heritage house has an old furnace. Is it worth repairing?
It depends on the fault and the heat exchanger. A failed igniter or flame sensor is usually worth fixing at any age. A cracked heat exchanger on an old furnace usually is not. David tells you which one you have.
I smell gas. What should I do?
Leave the house first. From outside, call FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911 or 911. Don’t switch lights or appliances on or off on the way out.
