How a Furnace Replacement Works
- You call and tell us about the house and the furnace you have now. A photo of the label helps.
- David visits and checks the size of the house, the ductwork and return air, the venting route, the gas line and the thermostat.
- He quotes the furnace and the work around it, and tells you how long the heat will be off.
- On the day, the old furnace comes out and the new one goes in, with the duct, vent, gas and thermostat connections.
- He starts it up, leak-tests the gas connections, checks the venting and combustion, and shows you the thermostat and the filter.
The quote visit is $169, and it’s credited to the job if you go ahead with the installation.
A gas permit is needed to install a gas furnace in BC, and it is arranged before work starts. Technical Safety BC explains gas installation permits.
Replacing an Older Mid-Efficiency Furnace
New gas furnaces sold in Canada are high-efficiency (condensing) models. An older mid-efficiency furnace vents through a metal flue, often shared with the water heater. The new furnace vents through plastic pipes on an outside wall and needs a drain for the water it produces, so the vent route usually changes. David checks where the pipes can go before he quotes.
Size matters as much as efficiency. A furnace that is too big for the house starts and stops often, and one that is too small runs and runs on cold days. David sizes the new furnace to the house, not just to the old furnace. He usually supplies American Standard, Lennox and Trane furnaces.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?
Compare the repair price, parts availability and the condition of the rest of the furnace with a replacement quote. Age alone doesn’t decide it. If the furnace has stopped working, book a repair visit first so you know what failed.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency service?
