Quick answers to the things homeowners ask before starting.
How much does a new furnace cost in Vancouver?
A standard gas furnace installed runs $3,500-$6,500 depending on efficiency rating and home size. Heat pumps are $5,000-$12,000 installed. BC Hydro and CleanBC rebates can reduce the cost by $1,000-$4,000.
Do I need a permit for furnace replacement in Vancouver?
Yes — gas furnace replacement requires a gas permit, and heat pump installation requires an electrical permit. Confirm the applicable process with your local municipality and Technical Safety BC; for Vancouver addresses, the City of Vancouver administers many trade permits. A licensed HVAC contractor handles the permits and inspections.
What's the best heating system for a Vancouver home?
Gas furnaces are the most common and cost-effective for Vancouver's mild winters. Heat pumps are gaining popularity — they provide both heating and cooling and qualify for significant BC rebates. Hybrid systems (gas + heat pump) are an emerging trend.
How long does a furnace last in Vancouver?
Gas furnaces typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. If yours is over 15 years old, replacement is worth considering — newer units are 30-40% more efficient and qualify for rebates.
