Air from vents feels lukewarm
Often a dirty filter, a failing igniter or a burner that is not firing fully. It can also point to undersized or leaky ductwork.

Overview
Everything your furnace needs, from one local team
Most homes from Burnaby to Maple Ridge still rely on a forced-air gas furnace for winter heat. It is a simple idea: a burner heats a metal heat exchanger, a blower pushes household air across it, and ducts carry that warm air to each room. When every part is clean and adjusted, a furnace can run quietly for a long time. When something slips out of spec, you notice it as cold rooms, strange smells, rising gas bills or a system that will not start on the first frosty morning.
Our furnace services in Metro Vancouver cover the full life of the equipment. We repair breakdowns, carry out yearly maintenance, install furnaces in new spaces and replace tired units with efficient models. Whatever the job, a technician explains what they found in plain language and gives you a clear quote before any work starts. Pick the service you need below, or call (236) 222-2222 and we will point you in the right direction.

Signs your furnace is asking for attention
These are the problems homeowners call us about most, and each one has a likely cause a technician can track down.
Banging, squealing or rattling
Delayed ignition can cause a bang, while squeals and rattles usually come from the blower motor, belts or loose panels.
Short cycling on and off
A furnace that starts and stops every few minutes may be overheating, oversized or struggling with a dirty flame sensor.
Gas bills creeping upward
Restricted airflow, poor combustion and aging parts all make a furnace burn more gas for the same comfort.
Odd smells near the unit
A brief dusty smell at first start-up is normal. A rotten egg smell, burning plastic or a sharp odour that lingers is not.
Some rooms always colder
Uneven heat is usually an airflow problem: closed registers, crushed ducts, a weak blower or a thermostat in the wrong spot.
Included

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
How long does a gas furnace usually last?
A well-maintained gas furnace commonly runs fifteen to twenty years. Units that miss regular maintenance or were sized incorrectly tend to wear out sooner. Age alone is not a reason to replace, but it matters when repair costs start to climb.
What should I do if I smell gas near my furnace?
Do not touch light switches, the thermostat or any appliance. Get everyone outside, then call FortisBC's emergency line and 911 from a safe distance. Once the utility has made the area safe, call us to repair the cause.
Is a high-efficiency furnace worth it in our mild climate?
Condensing furnaces turn most of the gas they burn into usable heat, while older units waste a large share up the chimney. Even with mild winters, that difference shows up on every bill. We can also explain how a heat pump or dual fuel system might compare for your home.
Can I change the furnace filter myself?
Yes, and you should. Turn the furnace off, note the arrow showing airflow direction, and slide in a new filter of the same size. If the filter slot is hard to reach or you are unsure of the size, ask during your next visit and we will show you.
Do you work on furnaces of every brand?
We service and repair the common gas furnace brands found in Metro Vancouver homes. If a part is specific to your model, we will tell you up front how long it may take to source.
Which areas do you serve for furnace work?
We cover Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, Surrey, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, with emergency help available around the clock.
