Overview
Furnace repair in Burnaby across every type of home
Burnaby's housing spans many decades, and so do its furnaces. Some older homes still run standing-pilot furnaces, where a thermocouple or pilot assembly is often the culprit when the heat stops. Townhouses and newer homes rely on electronic ignition, control boards and inducer motors, which fail in different ways. Furnace repair in Burnaby means being comfortable with all of it.
Townhouse closet furnaces have their own patterns. Tight spaces and blocked louvres can starve the furnace of combustion air, while clogged filters cause it to overheat and trip the high-limit or rollout switches. A rollout switch trip is a safety warning, not just a nuisance, and needs a proper look before the furnace is reset.
Burnaby furnace repairs we handle
These problems come up regularly in local homes.
Rollout switch trips
Flames escaping the burner area indicate a venting or heat exchanger issue that needs inspection.
Closet furnace overheating
Restricted air in tight closets trips the high-limit switch.
Blower motor failure
Humming without airflow, or a burning smell, often points to the blower or capacitor.
Control board faults
Erratic operation or no response can mean a failed board or loose wiring.
Gas valve issues
A valve that will not open or regulate properly prevents safe burner operation.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Can you still repair older pilot-light furnaces in Burnaby?
Often, yes. Thermocouples, pilot assemblies and gas valves are commonly replaced. If parts are no longer available or the heat exchanger is worn, we will discuss replacement honestly.
My townhouse furnace keeps overheating and shutting off. Why?
Closet furnaces with clogged filters or blocked louvred doors often overheat. Clearing the space and replacing the filter may help, but if it continues, call us to check the blower and airflow.
What does a rollout switch trip mean?
It means flames or heat escaped the normal burner area, possibly due to a blocked vent or damaged heat exchanger. Do not keep resetting it; have the furnace inspected.
What if my carbon monoxide alarm sounds?
Get everyone outside and call 911. Do not re-enter until responders say it is safe, then have the furnace checked before using it.
