Furnace Installation & Replacement in Burnaby, BC

What's Included in Your Furnace Installation

A furnace installation is more than swapping out a box. When you hire Maple Furnace Heating & Air Conditioning, our technicians handle the full job from the first measurement to the final safety check. Having installed heating systems across Burnaby and the Lower Mainland for over two decades, we follow the same careful process on every project so your new furnace runs safely and efficiently for years.

Here is what a complete residential or commercial furnace installation covers:

• Heat-loss and load calculation: We start with a room-by-room heat-loss calculation and size the furnace by BTU output against your home's square footage, insulation, window area, and layout. Correct sizing prevents an oversized unit that short-cycles and an undersized unit that never keeps up.
• Choosing the right efficiency and stage: We walk you through AFUE ratings and help you compare a single-stage furnace against a two-stage or fully modulating model. Units with an ECM blower run quieter and use less electricity while holding a steadier temperature.
• Removal and disposal of the old unit: We disconnect, remove, and responsibly dispose of your existing furnace so nothing is left for you to deal with.
• Setting the new furnace: We position and secure the new American Standard or comparable furnace, then connect it to your existing ductwork or adjust the plenum and transitions as needed.
• Gas and electrical connections: Our licensed gas-fitter makes the gas connection, and we wire the electrical supply and thermostat to code.
• Venting: We install or update the venting so combustion gases exhaust safely, which is especially important when moving up to a high-efficiency condensing furnace that vents differently than an older model.
• Permit and inspection: We pull the required permit and complete the work so it passes inspection, keeping your installation compliant with BC code.
• Commissioning and safety check: We fire the system, verify gas pressure and airflow, test the thermostat, and run a full safety check, including a carbon monoxide test, before we hand it back to you.

Before we leave, we show you how the new system works and answer any questions so you feel confident operating it. If anything needs follow-up attention later, our team offers same-day service and after-hours response during business hours.

How Much Does a Furnace Cost in Metro Vancouver?

The most common question homeowners ask is what a new furnace will cost. The honest answer is that it depends on your home, because no two installations are identical. Rather than quote a number that may not fit your situation, we provide a free written quote after assessing your home so you know the full price up front with no surprises.

The main factors that shape your furnace installation cost in Metro Vancouver are:

• Efficiency tier: A high-efficiency condensing furnace with a higher AFUE rating costs more up front than a standard-efficiency model, but it uses less gas over its lifetime and often qualifies for rebates.
• Unit size and stage: The BTU capacity your home needs, and whether you choose a single-stage, two-stage, or modulating burner with an ECM blower, affects the price of the equipment.
• Venting requirements: Moving from an older furnace to a condensing model can require new venting, which adds to the scope of the job.
• Old-unit removal and site work: Removing and disposing of your existing furnace, plus any ductwork, gas line, or electrical adjustments, factors into the final figure.

You can also lower your net cost with the rebate and loan programs available to BC homeowners. If you are weighing a furnace against a heat pump, check the BC heat pump rebates to see how much you could save on a qualifying high-efficiency system. Our team helps you identify which programs you qualify for and factors them into your written quote so the numbers reflect your real out-of-pocket cost.

Furnace vs. Heat Pump: Which Is Right for Your Home?

Metro Vancouver's mild, damp winters make this a real decision rather than a formality. Because our region rarely sees the deep cold that makes a gas furnace the only sensible choice, many homeowners in Burnaby, Vancouver, and the surrounding neighbourhoods now compare a furnace against a heat pump before they commit.

A gas furnace delivers strong, fast heat and runs affordably where natural gas is available. It is a proven choice for homeowners who want dependable warmth during a cold snap and prefer to keep their existing gas connection.

A heat pump both heats and cools, which suits our climate well. In a region where winters stay mild and summers are getting warmer, a single system that handles both seasons is efficient and convenient, and cold-climate models hold their output well into the temperatures the Lower Mainland actually sees. Heat pumps also unlock CleanBC and Canada Greener Homes rebates that can meaningfully lower the installed cost.

Many homeowners land somewhere in between, pairing a heat pump for everyday efficiency with a gas furnace as backup for the coldest days. There is no single right answer, so we model both options during your free estimate and give you a straight recommendation based on your home, your budget, and your energy priorities. If you are leaning toward a full electric conversion, we can walk you through switching to a heat pump. If your current furnace simply needs attention rather than replacement, our furnace repair team can help you get more good years out of it.
