Hot upstairs, cold downstairs
Multi-storey hillside homes on Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain often have big temperature swings between floors.
Heating, cooling and hot water help for Coquitlam homes, from new builds on Burke Mountain to classic split-levels in Austin Heights.
No heat, no hot water or a gas smell? Call any time, day or night.
Coquitlam is our home turf, and few cities in Metro Vancouver have such a wide spread of housing. Able Pro provides HVAC services in Coquitlam for 1960s bungalows in Maillardville, 1980s family homes on Westwood Plateau, newer hillside builds on Burke Mountain and the towers rising around Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam.
That variety means the right answer changes from street to street. A tall, open-plan home on the mountain may need zoning or a second heat pump head to balance the floors, while a 40-year-old furnace in Ranch Park might be due for a frank repair-or-replace conversation. We look at your actual home before recommending anything.
Elevation, age and building type each bring their own issues.
Multi-storey hillside homes on Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain often have big temperature swings between floors.
Homes high on the slopes lose heat faster during outflow events, which strains undersized or tired furnaces.
Many Maillardville and Austin Heights homes still run aging furnaces with worn heat exchangers or failing blowers.
Glass-heavy towers near the Evergreen Line can get stuffy in spring and summer without a heat pump or proper cooling.
Busy households on Burke Mountain often outgrow builder-grade tanks and ask about tankless or larger units.
Tight newer homes and older homes with poor ventilation both struggle with moisture through wet winters.
We work across the city, from Eagle Ridge and Westwood Plateau down to Maillardville near the Fraser, and from Burquitlam's new towers to the cul-de-sacs of Ranch Park. Up on Burke Mountain, many homes were built recently with heat pumps or high-efficiency furnaces, and the work is often about tuning, zoning and keeping systems maintained. In the older neighbourhoods south of Lougheed Highway, we more often replace original equipment and update ductwork.
Coquitlam's elevation matters. On a cold January morning the upper slopes can sit noticeably colder than City Centre, and snow lingers longer in the higher neighbourhoods. That affects how we size heat pumps and when we suggest a backup heat source.

Usually, yes. Common fixes include balancing the ductwork, adjusting fan settings, adding zoning or supplementing with a ductless head on the problem floor. We look at the layout and airflow before suggesting the simplest fix that works.
In most cases. If the home has a furnace and ductwork in decent shape, a ducted heat pump or dual fuel system can work. Homes heated by baseboards are often a good fit for ductless mini-splits.
Yes, where the strata permits it. We help you gather the technical information your strata council asks for, such as outdoor unit location, noise and electrical needs.
Provincial, utility and sometimes municipal programs have supported heat pump upgrades, but the offers change often. We confirm what applies to your Coquitlam home when we quote and help with the application.
Yes. We work throughout Burquitlam and the Lougheed area, including houses, townhomes and condos close to the SkyTrain.
