A wall-hung combi boiler frees up the floor space an old tank and boiler took, which matters in a townhome mechanical closet.

Overview
Planning a boiler installation in Burnaby
Burnaby has two very different kinds of boiler homes. There are older detached houses on the slopes of Capitol Hill and around Burnaby Heights, many with hot water baseboards or cast-iron radiators that were put in decades ago. Then there are townhomes and newer builds where space is tight and a compact wall-hung boiler has to fit in a closet. A good boiler installation in Burnaby starts by working out which of those situations you are in.
Able Pro measures your heat loss, looks at your emitters and hot water use, and recommends a boiler that suits them rather than the biggest unit that will fit. You get a clear written quote before we begin, a careful install, and a full walk-through when the system is running.
Install options that fit Burnaby homes
Space, emitters and hot water demand decide which boiler makes sense.
Radiant under tile
Bathrooms and basement slabs warm evenly with in-floor tubing fed by low-temperature water.
Keeping existing radiators
Older Burnaby houses often have sound radiators or baseboards that can be reused with a new, efficient boiler.
Indirect tank for families
Larger detached homes with several bathrooms often do better with a boiler and an indirect hot water tank.
Sidewall venting
Condensing boilers vent through plastic pipe, so we plan termination clearances from windows, doors and neighbouring walls.
Outdoor reset control
An outdoor sensor lowers water temperature on mild, wet days, which is most of a Burnaby winter.
Local service
Boiler installs across Burnaby neighbourhoods
In older homes near Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill, we often reuse sturdy cast-iron radiators and focus on getting the new boiler, venting and controls right. In South Slope and Edmonds, many houses have basement suites, so separate zones with their own thermostats keep both households comfortable.
Townhomes around Brentwood and Metrotown usually call for a compact combi with a short vent run. Before installing in a strata complex, check your strata rules for exterior vent locations; we can help you describe the work for an approval request.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Will a combi boiler fit in my Burnaby townhome?
Most combis are about the size of a kitchen cabinet and mount on a wall, so they fit where an old tank and boiler used to sit. The deciding factors are usually the vent route and access to a drain for condensate, which we check on the first visit.
Do I need strata approval to install a boiler in Burnaby?
If you live in a strata townhome or condo, exterior work like a new vent termination often needs approval. Check your bylaws first. We can provide the details your strata council usually asks for, such as where the vent will exit.
Can a new boiler work with my old cast-iron radiators?
Usually, yes. Cast-iron radiators hold a lot of water and release heat slowly, which pairs well with a modulating boiler. We flush the system and add a dirt separator so old sediment does not reach the new heat exchanger.
How hot does the water need to be for radiant floors?
Much cooler than for baseboards, often well under what a baseboard loop needs. That cooler return water is exactly what lets a condensing boiler run at its best efficiency.
