Overview
Rethinking AC replacement in Burnaby
Burnaby condos built in the 2000s and early 2010s often came with first-generation mini-splits or through-wall units that are now reaching the end of their life. Detached homes may have a central AC from the same era sitting next to an aging gas furnace. AC replacement in Burnaby is a good moment to ask a bigger question: should the new equipment only cool, or should it heat too?
For many condo owners, a modern ductless heat pump replaces an old AC and cuts reliance on electric baseboards. In houses, a ducted heat pump can replace the old condenser and let the furnace become backup heat. We look at your current system, your building and your heating costs, then lay out the options clearly.
Replacement paths for Burnaby homes
Different starting points, different best answers.
Through-wall units
Where the building allows, a ductless heat pump can replace noisy through-wall AC units.
House AC to heat pump
Replace the outdoor condenser and coil with a heat pump that also handles most heating hours.
Like-for-like AC
If you only want cooling and the furnace is young, a matched new AC is a simpler swap.
Rebate eligibility
Heat pumps may qualify for current programs. We confirm what applies and help with the forms.
Quieter equipment
Newer inverter units run far more quietly, a real plus on balconies and in tight yards.
Local service
Replacing cooling across Burnaby
We replace systems in condos around Metrotown, Brentwood and Edmonds, in UniverCity townhomes and in houses across Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Deer Lake and the South Slope. Older towers sometimes have restrictions on equipment size or location, so we go through the bylaws with you before choosing equipment.
In houses, replacing the AC often coincides with questions about the furnace. We will tell you honestly whether the furnace should stay, become backup or be replaced too.

- Age and condition of the current system

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Can I replace my Burnaby condo AC without strata approval?
A like-for-like replacement in the same location may need only notice, but most buildings still want to know. Changing the size or location almost always needs approval. We provide the details your strata will ask for.
Is a heat pump worth it in a Burnaby condo?
If you heat with electric baseboards, a heat pump can provide the same heat using noticeably less electricity, plus cooling in summer. It is one of the most popular upgrades we install in Burnaby.
Can you reuse the existing line set?
Sometimes, if it is the right size, in good condition and compatible with the new refrigerant. We test and inspect it before deciding.
How long does a condo replacement take?
Most single-zone swaps take a day. Multi-zone systems or new line routes can take longer, and building access rules may affect scheduling.
