Dual fuel system
Heat pump plus furnace, switching automatically based on outdoor temperature.
Cold outflow winters and sticky summers call for a system that handles both. We help you replace your furnace with the right fit for Pitt Meadows.
No heat, no hot water or a gas smell? Call any time, day or night.
Pitt Meadows asks a lot of a home's heating and cooling. Winter outflow winds bring sharp, dry cold, while summers can be hot and humid across the open flats. A furnace that only heats leaves half the year uncovered. That is why many homeowners use furnace replacement in Pitt Meadows as a chance to move to dual fuel: a heat pump for cooling and mild-weather heating, with a high-efficiency furnace taking over during the coldest outflow days.
If you prefer to stay with gas alone, a modern condensing furnace still offers a big efficiency jump over older units. Either way, we size the system from a heat loss calculation that reflects your home's wind exposure, plan venting that will not be upset by strong gusts, and price each option clearly.
Each one balances winter warmth and summer comfort differently.

Central Pitt Meadows and Mid-Meadows homes from the 1970s through 1990s often have furnaces ready for replacement, and many owners are adding cooling at the same time. Osprey Village and South Bonson homes have newer equipment but may benefit from dual fuel upgrades.
Homes on the farmland edges face the most wind exposure. Sealed ducts and careful venting matter most here, and outdoor heat pump units need a spot sheltered from the worst gusts and raised above any pooled water from heavy rain.
We look at exposure, ducts, venting and your comfort goals.

Often, yes. A heat pump handles cooling and most heating, while the furnace covers outflow cold. It balances efficiency and reliability.
Modern heat pumps work in cold weather, but efficiency drops as temperatures fall. In a dual fuel system, the furnace takes over when it is most efficient to do so.
Yes. A heat pump or central A/C can be installed at the same time.
CleanBC Better Homes, BC Hydro and FortisBC have all offered support for heat pumps and efficient furnaces at different times. Because the rules shift from year to year, we check the programs open on the day we quote and help you prepare the paperwork. Approval is decided by the program, not by us.
If it is old, costly to run and you also want cooling, replacing on your own schedule avoids an emergency swap during an outflow cold snap. It also gives you time to compare dual fuel and check rebates. If repairs still make more sense, we will say so.
