New vent location
We find a wall or roof route that meets clearances from windows, decks, grade and neighbours.
Swapping a boiler often means a new vent route, a condensate drain and sometimes strata approval. We plan the logistics so replacement day goes smoothly.
No heat, no hot water or a gas smell? Call any time, day or night.
The boiler itself is often the easy part. What makes a boiler replacement in Port Moody tricky is everything around it. An older boiler that vented into a chimney will need a new plastic vent through an exterior wall or roof. A condensing boiler needs a place to drain acidic condensate. On a steep Heritage Mountain lot, finding a vent location that meets clearances can take some creativity, and in a townhome complex the strata may need to approve it.
Able Pro works through these details before we schedule the job. We find the vent and drain route, confirm gas line capacity, and help you prepare what your strata council needs. Then we quote the whole job clearly, so there are no surprises on replacement day.
A smooth replacement depends on getting these right first.
We find a wall or roof route that meets clearances from windows, decks, grade and neighbours.
We plan a drain or condensate pump with a neutralizer, kept inside heated space.
We provide vent locations and descriptions for your strata application.
If a water heater still uses the old chimney, we check that it will still draft safely.
We confirm the gas line can supply the new boiler at full fire.
Venting and termination parts are chosen to cope with Port Moody's moist air.
On Heritage Mountain, College Park and Pleasantside, sloped lots and partly buried mechanical rooms make vent planning the main challenge. In Ioco and Glenayre, older homes often have chimney-vented boilers, so the leftover chimney needs attention.
Townhomes around Suter Brook, Klahanie and Moody Centre are usually replacing a combi and need strata approval for any change to the exterior wall.
We look inside and outside to plan the vent, drain and access.
You receive a written quote, and we help with any strata paperwork.
We remove the old boiler, install the new one and complete the venting and condensate.
We test combustion, confirm drainage and walk you through the new controls.
We solve venting and approval questions before the install date.
Condensate pumps, vent kits and chimney work are listed upfront.
Moving heavy equipment on steep lots is done safely and with care for your home.
Our technicians are on call if the old boiler gives out before replacement day.

Usually. We look for a wall section above grade and the snow line, or a route up through the rim joist or roof. We confirm the route during the site survey before quoting.
If the vent location or exterior wall changes, most stratas require approval. A like-for-like swap using the same vent may not. Check your bylaws, and we can supply the details your council needs.
Once the boiler is removed, the chimney may be too large for the water heater alone, causing poor draft. We check it and may recommend a liner or a different venting setup.
That depends on how often your council meets. We suggest starting the conversation early and will provide the paperwork details as soon as the survey is done.
