We replace the location's old ductwork transitions and plenum so the new furnace gets the airflow it needs.

Overview
Furnace installation in Burnaby, planned around your house
Burnaby has a wide spread of housing, and that shapes every furnace installation we do here. Many detached homes in Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill and Lochdale were built decades ago with a basement furnace vented up a masonry chimney. Newer houses and duplexes on the South Slope often have tight mechanical closets and long duct runs to upper bedrooms. A good install respects those realities instead of forcing a standard layout into them.
When we quote a furnace installation in Burnaby, we start with a heat loss calculation for your actual home, then look at how the new furnace will vent, drain and connect to the ductwork. Switching to a high-efficiency model usually means moving from the old chimney to plastic pipe through a side wall, which takes careful planning on narrow Burnaby lots where the neighbour's windows may be close by.
Burnaby installation situations we handle
Each of these needs a slightly different approach.
Narrow side yards
Sidewall vent terminals need clearances from windows, doors and property lines, which we map out before installing.
Townhouse closets
Compact upflow furnaces fit tight closets, and we keep service access in mind so future tune-ups are easy.
Full-house renovations
Gutting a house in Brentwood or Edmonds is the perfect time to resize ducts and place the furnace properly.
Dual fuel setups
Pairing a furnace with a heat pump suits Burnaby's mild winters and hot summers.
Shared chimney water heaters
If a gas water heater stays on the old chimney, we check that it will still vent safely alone.
Local service
Installing furnaces across Burnaby's neighbourhoods
North Burnaby streets around Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill are full of mid-century homes with original duct layouts that were never designed for today's furnaces. South of Kingsway, around Edmonds and the South Slope, we see more rebuilds and multi-unit homes where each unit wants its own heat. Up on Burnaby Mountain at UniverCity, townhomes are newer but mechanical spaces are compact.
Because Burnaby lots are often narrow and close together, venting is the part of a furnace installation most likely to need thought. We plan exhaust and intake locations so they meet clearance rules, stay out of walkways and do not blow steam onto a neighbour's window on frosty mornings.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Can I keep using my old chimney with a new furnace in Burnaby?
High-efficiency furnaces do not use a masonry chimney; they vent through plastic pipe. Mid-efficiency models can, but the chimney often needs a liner. We check which option is safe and practical for your house.
My Burnaby townhouse closet is small. Will a modern furnace fit?
Usually, yes. Many current furnaces are compact. The bigger concerns are service clearance, venting route and condensate drainage, which we confirm during the visit.
Should I add air conditioning when installing a new furnace?
If summer heat bothers you, installing a matching coil or heat pump at the same time saves work later. We can quote both so you can decide.
Do I need a permit for a furnace installation in Burnaby?
Gas furnace installations generally require a gas permit and inspection in BC. We look after arranging it where required.
