Overview
Planning heat pump replacement in Burnaby condos
Burnaby has a large stock of condos built with ductless or compact ducted heat pumps from the start. As those first systems age, owners face rising repair bills, parts that are harder to find, and in some cases older refrigerants that are expensive to service. Heat pump replacement in Burnaby suites is usually simpler than the original install, but it still takes planning.
Wherever possible, we reuse the existing approved outdoor location, wall penetrations and electrical circuit, which keeps strata approval straightforward. We test whether the existing refrigerant lines are the right size and condition for the new equipment and whether they can be flushed and reused. If they cannot, we explain why and include new lines in the quote.
Signs your Burnaby heat pump is due
Replacement usually makes sense when several of these line up.
Older refrigerant type
Systems using phased-out refrigerants cost more to recharge and repair every year.
Losing the heat wave fight
An old unit that can no longer cool your glass-walled suite in July has worn down.
Discontinued parts
Control boards and sensors for older models can be slow or impossible to source.
Louder than it used to be
Worn compressors and fans get noisy, which neighbours on shared balconies notice.
Higher hydro use
Modern inverter units use noticeably less power for the same comfort.

Replacing heat pumps around Burnaby
Most of our Burnaby replacements happen in condos around Metrotown, Brentwood and Edmonds, where many buildings now have heat pumps old enough to need replacing. UniverCity buildings on Burnaby Mountain face more wind and damp, which can shorten equipment life.
We also replace central heat pumps in detached homes in Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Deer Lake and Lochdale, often upgrading to quieter variable-speed equipment at the same time.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Does my Burnaby strata need to approve a replacement heat pump?
Many stratas still want to know, even for a like-for-like swap in the same spot. Some require approval only if the location, size or penetrations change. We supply the details so you can check quickly with your council or manager.
Can you reuse the refrigerant lines in my condo?
Sometimes. If the lines are the correct size, in good condition and compatible with the new refrigerant, they can be flushed and reused. If they run inside walls or ceilings, reuse can save a lot of work. We test them before deciding.
Will a new unit fit where the old one was?
Usually, since modern outdoor units are often similar or smaller in size. We check dimensions and clearances in advance so there are no surprises on installation day.
Should I add a second head while replacing?
If a bedroom or den has never been comfortable, replacement is a good time to add a head on a multi-zone outdoor unit. We calculate whether it is needed rather than adding equipment by default.
