A reliable boiler is the heart of a comfortable home through a wet Lower Mainland winter, and Maple Furnace Heating & Air Conditioning has installed and replaced boilers across Burnaby and Metro Vancouver for over 25 years. Greater Vancouver has a large share of older housing stock, and many of these homes were originally built around hydronic heating. From character houses in East Vancouver and Kerrisdale to mid-century homes throughout Burnaby, hot-water boilers remain a common and well-loved way to heat a home.
Because hydronic and radiant heating deliver steady, even warmth without blowing dust around, demand for quality boiler systems stays strong across the region. When an aging boiler can no longer keep up, the right replacement restores comfort and lowers operating costs at the same time. Our team handles the full project from the first assessment through final commissioning, so your new system is correctly sized, safely installed, and properly permitted.
Whether you are replacing a tired cast-iron unit, upgrading to a high-efficiency condensing model, or installing a boiler in a renovation, we help you choose equipment that fits your home, your budget, and how you actually live. Call us at 604-324-4328 to schedule a no-pressure boiler consultation.

Every home heats differently, so we match the right type of boiler to your space, your existing distribution system, and how you use hot water. Here are the main options we install across Metro Vancouver.
A high-efficiency condensing boiler captures heat from the exhaust gases that a standard boiler sends up the flue, which means more of the fuel you pay for actually warms your home. These units are an excellent fit when you are replacing an older, less efficient boiler and want to bring down your heating costs. Condensing models work especially well with lower-temperature radiant and hydronic systems, and we install both gas and electric versions depending on your home's setup.
A combi boiler handles both your space heating and your domestic hot water from a single, compact unit, heating water on demand without the need for a separate storage tank. That makes combi systems a smart choice for condos, townhomes, and smaller houses where space is tight. They are a popular upgrade in Burnaby and Vancouver homes where a homeowner wants to free up the floor area an older tank-and-boiler combination used to occupy.
A system boiler works alongside a hot-water storage cylinder, which makes it well suited to larger homes that draw a lot of hot water at once, such as households with several bathrooms. Because key components are built into the unit, installation is clean and serviceable. We help you weigh a system boiler against a combi based on your home's size, your hot-water demand, and your radiant or radiator layout, and we install both gas and electric models.
We install and stand behind a range of trusted boiler manufacturers, so you get a system matched to your home rather than whatever happens to be on the truck. Our installers are experienced with Viessmann, a respected European boiler brand known for high-efficiency engineering, as well as Navien and Rinnai, two leaders in condensing and combi technology. We also install Triangle Tube, Weil-McLain, and Super Hot boilers, giving you proven options across the efficiency and budget range.
Choosing the right brand is about more than the badge on the front panel. We consider parts availability, warranty coverage, your existing distribution system, and how the unit performs in our wet coastal climate. If you already have one of these brands and are simply replacing an old unit, we can often match or upgrade within the same family to keep your system familiar and serviceable. Not sure which brand fits your home? Call 604-324-4328 and we will walk you through the options.
Knowing when to repair and when to replace saves you money and prevents a cold-weather breakdown. Watch for these common signs that your boiler is reaching the end of its service life.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth having one of our technicians assess your system. We give you a straight answer on whether a repair or a full replacement makes more sense for your home and budget.
Upgrading to a high-efficiency condensing boiler is one of the most effective ways to cut your home's heating costs while staying warm through the Lower Mainland's long winters. These systems extract more usable heat from every unit of fuel, which means less waste and lower monthly bills compared with an older standard-efficiency unit.
British Columbia homeowners may also be able to offset some of the cost of a qualifying upgrade. Maple Furnace can point you toward the FortisBC high-efficiency boiler program, which supports eligible homeowners who install qualifying high-efficiency equipment. Program eligibility, equipment requirements, and availability change over time, so we help you confirm the current details and choose a boiler that qualifies. We handle the paperwork side of the conversation so you can focus on getting a warmer, more efficient home.
A clean install starts with a clear plan. Here is how we approach every boiler installation and replacement.
Boilers are the engine behind radiant and hydronic heating, two of the most comfortable ways to heat a Metro Vancouver home. In a hydronic system, your boiler heats water that circulates through radiators or baseboards, delivering steady warmth without the drafts and dust associated with forced-air heat. Radiant floor systems run that warm water through tubing beneath the floor, turning the entire surface into a gentle, even heat source that is especially welcome on cold, damp coastal mornings.
Whether you are replacing the boiler at the heart of an existing radiant or hydronic setup, or planning a new system as part of a renovation, our team makes sure the boiler and the distribution work together. For homeowners looking at their broader heating options, we also handle furnace installation and heat pump installation.
Most residential boiler replacements are completed in one to two days, depending on the complexity of your system and whether any piping or venting needs to be modified. We give you a clear timeline after the in-home assessment so you know what to expect.
A quality boiler that is correctly sized, professionally installed, and maintained regularly will typically provide reliable heat for 15 years or more. Routine servicing is the single biggest factor in getting the most years out of your investment.
It depends on your home's size and hot-water demand. A combi boiler heats water on demand and saves space, making it a strong fit for condos and smaller homes, while a system boiler paired with a storage cylinder suits larger households that draw a lot of hot water at once. We help you compare both during your consultation.
Yes. We take care of the required permits and inspections as part of every installation so your new boiler is fully up to code and safe to operate.
Absolutely. Upgrading to a high-efficiency condensing boiler is one of the most common reasons our customers replace an aging unit, and we can help you confirm whether your new system qualifies for the FortisBC high-efficiency boiler program.
We install and replace boilers for homeowners throughout Burnaby and the surrounding Metro Vancouver communities. No matter where you are in our service area, you get the same careful sizing, clean installation, and proper permitting.
From our shop on Merritt Ave, we install boilers across Burnaby's mix of single-family homes and strata buildings, from Metrotown and Brentwood to North Burnaby and the South Slope. Many of these homes rely on hydronic heat, and we keep them warm with reliable new systems.
Vancouver's character homes in Kitsilano, Point Grey, and Kerrisdale often run on aging boilers that are prime candidates for a high-efficiency upgrade. We install new boilers throughout the city, from the West End to East Van.
We serve homeowners across Coquitlam, including Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, and Austin Heights, fitting boilers that stand up to the area's cooler, higher-elevation winters.
We also install boilers in North Vancouver and Richmond. Call 604-324-4328 to book your boiler installation consultation.
