Overview
Heat pump maintenance in Port Coquitlam homes with gas backup
In a lot of PoCo family homes, the heat pump was added to an existing furnace to bring cooling and cheaper shoulder-season heat. That hybrid setup works well, but it means two systems share one set of ducts and one thermostat. If the heat pump is low on charge, the furnace quietly picks up the slack and you pay for more gas without noticing. If the furnace has a problem, it may only appear on the coldest night.
Our heat pump maintenance in Port Coquitlam covers the heat pump, the furnace and the controls that decide between them. We check refrigerant performance and defrost, then inspect the burner, flame sensor, heat exchanger, venting and safety switches on the furnace. For all-electric and ductless homes, we give the indoor units and backup heat the same careful attention.
Why both halves need attention
A hybrid system is only as reliable as its weakest part.
Furnace safety
Burners, flame sensors and venting need inspecting so backup heat is safe when it runs.
Changeover settings
A wrong balance point can send you to gas too early or leave you cold too long.
Shared filter
One clogged filter starves both systems of air and makes each work harder.
Duct and coil health
The heat pump coil above the furnace can collect dust that blocks airflow for both.
Carbon monoxide risk
Cracked heat exchangers and blocked vents are rare but serious, so we check every time.
Local service
Serving every corner of Port Coquitlam
We maintain heat pumps and hybrid systems in Citadel Heights, Mary Hill, Oxford Heights, Lincoln Park, Riverwood, Birchland Manor and Glenwood. Many of these homes were built in the 1970s to 1990s and have since had a heat pump added to the original furnace setup.
Townhouse complexes in Glenwood and Riverwood often have compact ductless systems, which we clean and service as well.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Does my PoCo hybrid system need one visit or two?
One visit usually covers both. We service the heat pump and the furnace in the same appointment, since they share ducts, filters and controls.
How do I know if my heat pump is doing its share?
If your gas bill stays high through mild months, the heat pump may not be running when it should, or the changeover temperature may be set too high. We check the controls and the heat pump's performance during maintenance.
What is the right changeover temperature?
It varies by house and equipment. Many homes switch to gas somewhere around freezing, but a well-sealed home with a modern heat pump can stay electric longer. We can adjust it based on your comfort and costs.
My townhouse has a ductless unit. Do you service those too?
Yes. We clean the indoor heads, flush the drains, rinse the outdoor unit and check performance, working around your strata's rules for access.
