Maple Furnace serves West Vancouver, BC from our Burnaby shop on Merritt Ave. West Vancouver climbs from the Burrard Inlet waterfront up the forested slopes below Cypress, and that terrain shapes the furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, boiler, water heater, and gas fireplace work we do here.
The British Properties and Whitby Estates hold some of the largest homes on the North Shore, where multi-zone systems, hydronic boilers, and radiant heating are common. Ambleside and Dundarave mix village streets, low-rise apartments, and older character homes near the water, while Caulfeild, Cypress Park, and Eagle Harbour sit at greater elevation with heavier weather exposure. We work with homeowners, tenants, and strata property managers across the district.
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 West Vancouver businesses.

West Vancouver runs from the waterfront up the mountainside, and the housing stock changes with the elevation.
The central waterfront village, where low-rise apartments run in-suite fan coils, ductless mini-splits, and tankless water heaters, and older character homes have aging furnaces or boilers ready for upgrades. We coordinate strata access and provide written reports for strata records.
A quieter village west of Ambleside, where many established homes near the seawall still run mid-efficiency furnaces or original-era boilers. Heat pump conversions, furnace replacements, and gas fireplace service make up most of our calls, with attention to outdoor equipment siting and corrosion-resistant components near the water.
The hillside estate neighbourhood with some of the largest homes on the North Shore, where multi-zone systems, hydronic boilers, and radiant floor heating are common and elevation matters for heat pump selection. Steep driveways and long service runs are routine here.
A gated hillside community of large, newer estate homes above the British Properties, mostly built with high-efficiency, multi-zone systems. The work leans toward maintenance, multi-zone service, and cooling upgrades.
An established residential area on the slope above Ambleside, with a mix of mid-century and updated single-family homes. Furnace tune-ups, boiler service, water heater replacements, and heat pump retrofits are the most common calls.
A higher-elevation, heavily treed neighbourhood farther west, where cold-climate heat pump models and careful outdoor unit siting matter more than at the waterfront. Hydronic boilers and multi-zone systems are common, and we plan for drainage and clearance given the rainfall the upper slopes catch.
The waterfront village at the western edge of the district, near the ferry terminal, with older cottages, updated homes, and low-rise buildings close to the water. We handle furnace and boiler service, heat pump installations, and gas fireplace work here.
A waterfront and near-waterfront neighbourhood between Caulfeild and Horseshoe Bay, where heavier rainfall and ocean air mean outdoor heat pump units need careful siting and corrosion-resistant components. We service a mix of furnace, boiler, and heat pump systems here.
A higher-elevation neighbourhood on the slopes below Cypress, where larger homes on steep terrain see colder winter lows and heavier precipitation than the waterfront, so cold-climate heat pump models are appropriate. Multi-zone systems and boiler service are routine.
West Vancouver sits on the North Shore, where rainfall is among the heaviest in the Lower Mainland and the terrain rises sharply from the waterfront. A home in Ambleside at sea level sees milder, drier conditions than a home up the slope in Caulfeild or Cypress Park, so we size heat pumps and furnaces with elevation in mind and recommend cold-climate-rated models for higher homes.
Heat pump and AC condenser units need adequate clearance, proper drainage, and corrosion-resistant components, especially for waterfront homes in Dundarave, Horseshoe Bay, and Eagle Harbour and the higher-elevation homes that catch the most rain and snow load. We use coastal-grade kits where appropriate, and on steep British Properties and Whitby Estates lots we plan equipment placement around the slope and long service runs.
In the British Properties, Whitby Estates, and Caulfeild, multi-zone heat pump and furnace systems, hydronic boilers, and radiant floor heating are common, since one thermostat rarely keeps a large, multi-level home comfortable.
Closer to the water in Ambleside, Dundarave, and Sentinel Hill, many older homes still run mid-efficiency gas furnaces, original boilers, and aging ductwork. These are the homes where a heat pump conversion can make the biggest difference, adding cooling for warmer summers while lowering heating costs.
West Vancouver 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 depends on the equipment, your existing fuel source, and qualification details.
Contact Us to ScheduleWest Vancouver's commercial base centres on the shops and restaurants of Ambleside and Dundarave, the businesses around Park Royal, and the small offices scattered through the district. Our commercial HVAC team services rooftop units, makeup air systems, and commercial boilers for offices, retail, and restaurant tenants.
For the restaurants and grocers along the waterfront villages, we also handle commercial refrigeration - walk-in coolers, freezers, and ice machines.
