Most furnace calls we take in Burnaby fall into a handful of familiar categories. Here are the issues our technicians diagnose and repair most often across Burnaby and Metro Vancouver:
No heat at all. A furnace that runs but blows cold air, or will not start, often points to a failed ignitor, a tripped limit switch, a faulty gas valve, or a thermostat problem. We trace the fault rather than guess at parts.
Short cycling. If your furnace turns on and off in quick bursts, it may be overheating from a clogged filter or restricted airflow, or struggling with a faulty flame sensor or control board. Short cycling wears out parts fast, so it is worth a prompt look.
Blower motor and fan issues. Weak airflow, a blower that will not stop, or a humming motor can mean a worn capacitor, a failing motor, or a belt and bearing problem on older units.
Ignitor and pilot trouble. Modern furnaces use a hot-surface ignitor that can crack with age. Older furnaces with a standing pilot can suffer a dirty or failing thermocouple. Both leave you without heat.
Thermostat faults. Sometimes the furnace is fine and the thermostat is the culprit, whether from dead batteries, loose wiring, or a unit that has simply aged out. We test the thermostat before condemning the furnace.
Dirty filters and airflow restriction. A neglected filter is one of the most common causes of poor heating and premature failure. We replace the filter and check the full air path.
Strange noises. Banging, rattling, screeching, or rumbling each point to different problems, from delayed ignition to loose ductwork to a failing motor. We pin down the source so the right repair is made the first time.
Schedule a Furnace RepairOur technicians repair furnaces from the brands we install and support every day in Burnaby and across Metro Vancouver:
American Standard. Known for durable, efficient gas furnaces, American Standard units are a common sight in Burnaby homes. We service their ignition systems, control boards, blower assemblies, and heat exchangers.
Trane. Trane furnaces are built for reliability and pair well with matched air conditioners and heat pumps. We diagnose Trane control faults, variable-speed blower issues, and sensor problems, and we stock common wear parts.
Lennox. Lennox high-efficiency furnaces deliver strong performance but reward proper maintenance. We service Lennox ignitors, pressure switches, inducer motors, and modulating gas valves.
Even if your furnace is a brand we did not install, our team works on most makes and models. Call 604-324-4328 and let us know what you have, and we will tell you how we can help. If a repair is not the best value, we can also walk you through furnace installation options.
A gas furnace burns fuel to make heat, and any combustion appliance deserves respect. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless gas that can be produced when a furnace burns fuel incompletely or vents improperly. This is why furnace safety is a core part of every repair we perform in Burnaby.
One of the most serious furnace faults is a cracked heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is the metal barrier that separates combustion gases from the air you breathe. When it cracks, combustion byproducts including carbon monoxide can mix with your home air supply. A cracked heat exchanger is a safety issue, not just an efficiency one, and it usually means the furnace should be taken out of service until it is repaired or replaced.
Every home with a gas furnace should have working carbon monoxide detectors on each level, especially near sleeping areas. Test them regularly and replace the batteries and the units themselves according to the manufacturer guidance. In British Columbia, gas work is regulated and overseen by Technical Safety BC, and we follow safe-work practices on every gas furnace we touch.
Shut off your furnace and call right away if you notice a persistent yellow or flickering burner flame instead of a steady blue one, soot or scorch marks around the furnace, a strong stuffy or chemical smell, or if your CO detector alarms. If anyone feels dizzy, nauseous, or has unexplained headaches that ease when they leave the house, get everyone outside to fresh air and call for help. Then reach us at 604-324-4328 for a furnace safety inspection.
Not every furnace problem is worth fixing. When you call us in Burnaby, we give you an honest read on whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the smarter long-term move.
Age of the furnace. Most gas furnaces last about 15 to 20 years. If your unit is in that range and facing a major repair, it is reasonable to weigh the cost of the fix against a new, more efficient system.
Efficiency and AFUE. Furnace efficiency is measured in AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). Older furnaces often run at lower AFUE ratings, meaning more of your fuel dollar goes up the flue. A modern high-efficiency furnace converts much more of its fuel into usable heat, which can lower your heating costs over time.
The repair-cost rule of thumb. A common guideline is to consider replacement when the cost of a repair approaches a large share of the price of a new furnace, particularly on an older unit. A minor fix on a newer furnace is almost always worth it. A major repair on an aging, inefficient furnace often is not.
Reliability and safety. Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, and any safety concern such as a cracked heat exchanger all tip the scale toward replacement. We lay out the options clearly and let you decide. If you choose to upgrade, learn more about furnace installation with our team.
If your Burnaby furnace is on its last legs, upgrading to a high-efficiency model can improve comfort and lower your energy use. British Columbia homeowners may also have access to provincial and utility rebate programs.
Programs such as CleanBC and rebates offered through FortisBC are designed to help homeowners move toward more efficient heating equipment. These programs can change over time, and eligibility depends on the equipment you choose and your home. We are happy to point you to the current program names so you can confirm the details directly with the program administrators.
Beyond the rebate question, a high-efficiency furnace runs quieter, holds temperatures more evenly, and pairs well with a heat pump for a hybrid system that suits the mild Metro Vancouver climate. Call us to talk through whether an efficiency upgrade fits your home and budget. We will give you a clear picture without any pressure.
We keep furnace repair straightforward so you always know what is happening with your system in Burnaby.
1. Schedule and arrive. Call 604-324-4328 or use our contact form. We confirm a time and our technician arrives at your Burnaby or Metro Vancouver home ready to work.
2. Diagnose. We inspect the furnace, test components, and trace the fault to its root cause rather than swapping parts blindly. This is also where we check for any safety concerns such as combustion or venting problems.
3. Explain and quote. Before any repair, we walk you through what we found and give you a clear price. You decide how to proceed with no surprises.
4. Repair and test. We complete the repair with quality parts, then run the furnace through a full cycle to confirm it heats properly, vents safely, and holds the set temperature.
5. Clean up. We leave your space as tidy as we found it and answer any questions about keeping your furnace running well.
The best furnace repair is the one you never need. Annual maintenance keeps your Burnaby furnace running safely and efficiently, and it is the single most effective way to avoid a cold-weather breakdown.
A Maple Furnace tune-up includes a thorough inspection and cleaning of the key components: burners, ignitor or pilot, flame sensor, blower motor, and electrical connections. We check the heat exchanger for signs of cracking, test combustion and venting, confirm the thermostat is reading correctly, and replace or clean the air filter. Catching a worn part early during a routine visit is far cheaper than an emergency call in January.
Regular maintenance also protects your manufacturer warranty, which often requires documented annual service, and it keeps efficiency high so you are not paying more than you should to stay warm. We offer maintenance agreements that take the guesswork out of scheduling. Ask us about getting your furnace tune-up on the calendar before the heating season. We also service related systems including heater repair and boiler repair.
Furnaces have a habit of failing on the coldest night of the year. When yours does, Maple Furnace offers 24/7 emergency furnace repair across Burnaby and Metro Vancouver.
A no-heat situation is more than an inconvenience in a Burnaby winter. It can put vulnerable family members at risk and let pipes get dangerously cold. If you smell gas, hear unusual noises, or your carbon monoxide detector sounds, treat it as urgent: leave the area if you suspect a CO or gas leak, then call us. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock, and our technicians come prepared to get your heat back on safely and quickly. Call 604-324-4328 any time, day or night.
Common signs include little or no heat, uneven temperatures from room to room, a sudden jump in energy bills, frequent on-off cycling, strange banging or screeching noises, and a yellow burner flame instead of a steady blue one. A yellow flame in particular can signal a combustion problem, so have it checked promptly. If you notice any of these in your Burnaby home, call 604-324-4328.
You can safely handle basic tasks like replacing the air filter, resetting a tripped breaker, and confirming the thermostat has fresh batteries. Beyond that, gas furnaces involve combustion, electrical, and venting systems that are dangerous to work on without training. Gas work in British Columbia is regulated, so leave major repairs to a qualified technician.
The cost depends on the part that failed and the work involved. A minor fix such as a thermostat or filter issue is modest, while a major component like a blower motor or control board costs more. We always diagnose first and give you a clear price before doing any work, so there are no surprises.
Once a year, ideally before the heating season begins in the fall. An annual tune-up catches small problems early, keeps efficiency high, protects your warranty, and includes a safety check of the heat exchanger and venting. Regular service is the best way to avoid a mid-winter breakdown.
Yes. A cracked heat exchanger can allow combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, to mix with the air in your home. It is a safety issue, and the furnace should be taken out of service until it is repaired or replaced. This is one of the reasons we inspect the heat exchanger during every tune-up and repair.
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency furnace repair across Burnaby and Metro Vancouver. If your furnace fails or you have a safety concern, call 604-324-4328 at any hour and we will get your heat back on.
