Maple Furnace dispatches from our Burnaby shop on Merritt Ave to homes and businesses across the City of Vancouver. We work in everything from West End high-rises to East Van Vancouver Specials, Kitsilano character homes, and modern Marine Drive estates - and the equipment, access, and code requirements are different in every one of those buildings.
Vancouver's housing stock is the most varied in the region. Pre-1940 character homes, post-war bungalows, 70s-era boxes, post-2000 laneway houses, and concrete towers all coexist within a few city blocks. Many heritage homes still rely on hydronic boilers and gas-fired hot water tanks; many new builds are being designed around heat pumps from day one to comply with the City of Vancouver's evolving building bylaw and the BC Energy Step Code. We work in all of them.
Our certified technicians service Vancouver with 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.

Each Vancouver neighbourhood comes with its own building stock and HVAC challenges. Below are the areas we work in most often.
Concrete high-rises with central plant systems, in-suite fan coils, and ductless splits added to older condos for cooling. Strata coordination, restricted access hours, and parking logistics are part of every job here. We bring written work orders and clean up before we leave.
Character and craftsman homes with gas furnaces, hydronic boilers, and gas fireplaces. Many homeowners are converting from gas furnaces to cold-climate heat pumps to lower operating costs and meet emissions targets.
A mix of mid-rise condos, low-rise rentals, and detached homes south of False Creek. We see a steady mix of furnace, water heater, and heat pump work here.
Older single-family homes - many built between 1920 and 1960 - with original-era ducting and gas furnaces. Furnace replacements and ductwork modifications are routine here.
Larger heritage and post-war homes, often with hydronic in-floor or radiator heating. We service older boilers and replace them with high-efficiency Navien, Rinnai, Triangle Tube, and Viessmann units when the time comes.
Estate-scale homes near the Fraser River. Larger heat loads, multi-zone heat pumps, and IAQ upgrades like HRVs and HEPA add-ons are common here.
Detached and townhouse mixes with a balance of furnace, heat pump, and tankless water heater work.
Historic conversions and modern condos sit side by side. We work with strata managers and individual owners to handle in-suite fan coil units, mini-splits, and water heater swaps.
British Columbia's building code has been pushing residential construction toward lower greenhouse gas emissions through the BC Energy Step Code, and the City of Vancouver has been an early adopter of stricter targets. For new builds and major renovations, that increasingly means a heat pump as the primary heating source rather than a gas furnace or boiler. For existing homes, the calculus is different - the path forward depends on whether your home already has ductwork, what your electrical panel can support, and what fuel source you're starting from.
We do an honest assessment before recommending equipment. If your existing furnace is mid-life and working well, we'll service it. If it's nearing end of life and you have the panel capacity, a cold-climate heat pump often makes more sense than another gas furnace - especially with the rebates currently available to BC homeowners. We'll talk through the numbers in plain language.
Yes. We work with strata managers and individual owners on in-suite fan coil units, ductless mini-splits, and tankless water heaters. We provide written reports for strata records and coordinate access with property managers.
Yes. Ductless mini-split heat pumps are the standard solution for older homes without forced-air ductwork. They provide both cooling and heating from a single outdoor unit and can serve one room or several zones.
It depends on your home's ductwork, electrical panel, and how long you plan to stay. With current BC and federal incentives, many Vancouver homeowners come out ahead with a cold-climate heat pump. We do a free in-home assessment and walk you through the numbers honestly.
Yes. We service Viessmann, Weil-McLain, Super Hot, Navien, Rinnai, Triangle Tube, and other major brands. When repair is no longer the right call, we'll be straight with you and explain replacement options.
We dispatch from Burnaby and reach most Vancouver neighbourhoods quickly. 24/7 emergency service is available for no-heat and no-cooling situations year-round.
Yes. Our gas line installation service covers new lines, relocations, and repairs by certified technicians.
