Maple Furnace serves Port Moody, BC from our Burnaby shop on Merritt Ave, a short run east along the inlet to the city at the head of Burrard Inlet. As a member of the Tri-Cities alongside Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, Port Moody pairs older character homes near the water with newer subdivisions climbing the slopes, and that mix of housing and elevation is exactly what shapes the furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, boiler, water heater, and gas fireplace work we do here.
Port Moody is a compact city with a strong sense of place, known as the City of the Arts and built around the eastern tip of Burrard Inlet. The newer hillside neighbourhoods of Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods sit well above sea level and were built with high-efficiency furnaces and heat pumps in mind, while the older character stock in Moody Centre and Ioco closer to the water often still runs mid-efficiency furnaces, hydronic boilers, and gas fireplaces. Inlet-side condos and townhomes near the Evergreen SkyTrain stations bring their own mix of fan coils and ductless systems. We service all of it, working with homeowners, tenants, and strata property managers across the city.
Our certified technicians cover furnace repair, furnace installation, heat pump repair, heat pump installation, AC repair, AC installation, mini-split repair, mini-split installation, boiler service, water heater service, gas fireplace service, indoor air quality, duct cleaning, gas line installation, heater repair, and commercial HVAC with commercial refrigeration for Port Moody businesses.

Port Moody is small enough to know well, and the housing changes noticeably as you move from the inlet up the slopes. Our technicians match the right approach to each area's homes, from heritage character stock near the water to newer hillside builds.
A higher-elevation neighbourhood of newer detached homes and townhouses on the slopes above the inlet. Most were built with high-efficiency furnaces or central heat pumps in mind, and the work here leans toward annual tune-ups, warranty-period service, and cooling upgrades. Because these homes sit well above sea level, winter lows run a touch colder than the waterfront, which we factor into heat pump sizing rather than relying on generic rules of thumb.
One of Port Moody's newest areas, with subdivisions and townhome complexes set into the forested hillside. New construction here usually arrives with modern high-efficiency equipment already installed, so we handle seasonal maintenance, repairs, and indoor air quality add-ons such as high-MERV filtration and HRV/ERV systems for tightly sealed homes. The elevation and tree cover make careful equipment siting worthwhile.
An established residential neighbourhood of mature single-family homes on the eastern side of the city. Many run furnaces that are nearing the end of their service life and are strong candidates for heat pump retrofits as owners add cooling. We also handle plenty of water heater replacements and gas fireplace service in this part of Port Moody.
A quiet post-war neighbourhood of single-family homes near the Burnaby boundary. Mid-century housing stock here often runs mid-efficiency furnaces and aging ductwork, which makes it a good fit for furnace replacements, duct cleaning, and heat pump conversions. Its location close to our Burnaby shop means calls placed early in the day are usually seen the same day.
The historic heart of Port Moody near the water and the West Coast Express and SkyTrain stations. Older character homes here often carry hydronic boilers, original water heaters, and gas fireplaces, alongside newer inlet-side condos and townhomes. We service the older systems and coordinate with strata managers when access through common areas is required for the newer buildings.
A historic enclave on the north shore of the inlet with older character stock and a strong heritage feel. Homes here often run aging furnaces or boilers that benefit from annual servicing rather than premature replacement, and we give straight answers on repair versus replace before any equipment is ordered.
A largely residential area along the inlet toward Belcarra, with a mix of established and updated homes. Proximity to the water means we pay attention to outdoor equipment siting and corrosion resistance for homes closest to the shoreline, and heat pump and AC installations are increasingly common here.
A hillside neighbourhood of detached homes and townhomes above Moody Centre. Most homes run modern high-efficiency equipment, and we handle routine maintenance, repairs, cooling upgrades, and water heater replacements as the first generation of equipment in these homes reaches the end of its service life.
Port Moody sits at the head of Burrard Inlet in the same coastal Lower Mainland climate as the rest of Metro Vancouver, with wet, cool winters and summers that have grown noticeably warmer over recent years. Winter lows are mild compared with the BC interior, which is good news for heat pump performance: a properly sized system rarely faces the kind of deep cold that strains its heating output, so seasonal efficiency stays high across most of the city. The one wrinkle is elevation, which we cover below.
The flip side is summer. Port Moody now regularly sees stretches in the high 20s and into the 30s, and many older homes near the inlet were never built with cooling in mind. That is why we see steady demand for air conditioning and heat pump installations through the warmer months. A heat pump answers both sides of the year in one system, which is part of why it has become our most-requested upgrade across the Tri-Cities.
Port Moody's defining feature for HVAC work is its vertical range. Waterfront and valley-floor neighbourhoods such as Moody Centre and Ioco sit close to sea level, while Heritage Mountain, Heritage Woods, and Mountain Meadows climb well up the slopes above the inlet. That elevation difference means winter lows and wind exposure are not the same across the city, and a heat pump sized correctly for an inlet-level character home can be undersized for a hillside home of the same square footage.
Because of that, we run a Manual J heat-loss calculation and look closely at outdoor unit placement rather than guessing. Higher-elevation homes benefit from cold-climate heat pump models with strong low-temperature performance, while inlet-side homes get extra attention on corrosion-resistant siting near the salt air. Getting the siting right is the difference between a system that holds its efficiency for years and one that struggles in the shoulder seasons.
Port Moody's housing splits cleanly into two kinds of work. On Heritage Mountain, in Heritage Woods, and across Mountain Meadows, much of the housing is recent construction built with high-efficiency furnaces or heat pumps already in place. The work there leans toward maintenance, warranty-period service, cooling add-ons, and indoor air quality upgrades for tightly sealed modern homes.
In Moody Centre, Ioco, and the older pockets of College Park and Glenayre, the picture is different. Many of these homes still run mid-efficiency furnaces, hydronic boilers, original water heaters, and aging ductwork. These are the homes where a heat pump conversion can make the biggest difference, and where careful retrofitting matters most. We measure heat loss, check electrical service capacity, and walk through the options before any equipment is ordered.
Port Moody homeowners upgrading from fossil-fuel heating to a heat pump can pursue rebates through programs such as CleanBC, FortisBC, and the federal Canada Greener Homes initiative. The amount that applies depends on the equipment, your existing fuel source, and qualification details, and we help make sure the paperwork your installer provides is complete.
Port Moody's commercial base centres on the shops, breweries, and restaurants of Moody Centre and Newport Village, along with the offices and retail near the SkyTrain. Our commercial HVAC team services rooftop units, makeup air systems, and commercial boilers for offices, retail, and food-service tenants across the city.
For restaurants, breweries, and grocery operators in Port Moody, we also handle commercial refrigeration - walk-in coolers, freezers, and ice machines - so food-service equipment keeps running through the busiest hours.
Yes. We dispatch to Port Moody daily from our Merritt Ave shop in Burnaby, a short run east along the inlet. For no-heat and no-cooling situations, 24/7 emergency service is available year-round, and we schedule routine appointments across Heritage Mountain, Moody Centre, Ioco, and the rest of the city throughout the week.
It can. Hillside neighbourhoods like Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods sit well above the inlet and run slightly colder winter lows than waterfront Moody Centre, so a system sized for one is not automatically right for the other. We run a Manual J heat-loss calculation and recommend a cold-climate model where the elevation calls for it.
In most cases, yes. Older Port Moody homes near the water often run mid-efficiency furnaces or hydronic boilers that are good candidates for conversion. We measure heat loss, check your existing ductwork and electrical capacity, and explain the options before recommending a system.
Yes. We work with in-suite fan coils, ductless mini-splits, split systems, and tankless water heaters in Port Moody condos and townhouses, coordinate with strata managers for common-area access, and provide written reports for strata records.
Port Moody homeowners upgrading from fossil-fuel heating to a heat pump can pursue rebates through CleanBC, FortisBC, and the federal Canada Greener Homes program. The amount depends on the equipment, your fuel source, and qualification details. We help confirm what is likely to apply and which paperwork your installer needs to provide.
