We provide heating, cooling, ventilation, and HVAC maintenance services for homes throughout West Vancouver. Our team regularly works across neighbourhoods such as Ambleside, Dundarave, Caulfeild, British Properties, and Cypress Park, along with nearby communities across the North Shore.
Heat Pumps
One system that heats and cools uses less energy than a furnace and qualifies for up to $10,000 in rebates through BC Hydro and CleanBC.
For most West Vancouver homes, this is the upgrade that makes the most sense right now.
Heat Pumps we work with:
- Ductless
- Ducted
- Multi-zone
Furnaces
Older furnaces can struggle during damp winter weather.
If your furnace is unreliable or reaching the end of its lifespan, replacing it with a high-efficiency system can improve comfort and reduce energy use.
- Repairs
- Maintenance
- New Installations
Air Conditioning and Cooling Solutions
We install energy-efficient heat pumps designed for quiet and consistent cooling all season long.

We service:
- Boilers
- On-demand water heaters

- Humidity control
HVAC Maintenance
Regular HVAC maintenance helps your heating and cooling system run more efficiently, last longer, and avoid unexpected breakdowns.

HVAC Systems Built for West Vancouver Homes
Designed for coastal conditions, older homes, and changing comfort needs
West Vancouver’s coastal climate has its own unique heating and cooling challenges.
Winters are generally mild but damp, which can make homes feel colder than the thermostat reading. Older heating systems struggle to distribute heat evenly throughout the home.
Summers across Metro Vancouver have also become warmer in recent years. Homes without cooling become uncomfortable during heat events, especially those with large windows or upper floors.
Energy efficiency has also become a growing focus across the region. In fact, greenhouse gas emissions from residential buildings in Metro Vancouver increased by about 11.5% between 2010 and 2022, highlighting the importance of more efficient heating and cooling systems for local homes.
Choosing the right HVAC system helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures while improving energy efficiency.
Common Comfort Problems We Help Solve
From uneven temperatures to outdated systems and poor airflow
Heating Systems Breaking Down
Older furnaces and boilers can fail unexpectedly during winter, leaving homeowners without heat when they need it most.
Upgrading aging systems before they fail can help avoid emergency repairs.
Homes Getting Too Hot in Summer
Many homes in West Vancouver were built without cooling systems.
As summers become warmer, homeowners are increasingly installing heat pumps or air conditioning systems to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
Indoor Air Quality Problems
Wildfire smoke and humidity can affect indoor air quality across Metro Vancouver. Even with windows closed, smoke particles can still enter homes.
Proper ventilation and filtration systems can help maintain cleaner indoor air.
Confusion Around Energy Rebates
Many homeowners want to upgrade their HVAC systems but are unsure how rebate programs work or which incentives apply to their home.
We help simplify the process by explaining available programs and guiding homeowners through rebate applications.

What Impacts the Cost of a New System?
Main factors that affect pricing, efficiency, and long-term value
The cost of installing or upgrading an HVAC system depends on several factors. This includes

Rebates from programs such as CleanBC and FortisBC can significantly reduce the overall cost of upgrading your system.
The best way to understand the cost for your home is to schedule an in-home estimate.

FAQs
Got HVAC Questions?
We’re Here to Help
For any questions or enquiry feel free to Call us or Schedule an appointment.
Do I really need a gas furnace backup for West Vancouver cold snaps?
Usually, no. For most West Vancouver homes, a properly sized cold-climate heat pump can handle short cold snaps without needing a gas furnace backup.
We confirm this with a heat load calculation, so your system is chosen for your actual home, not based on guesswork. If backup heat does make sense for your home, we’ll explain why clearly before recommending it.
How much will I actually pay out of pocket after all rebates?
It depends, but most West Vancouver HVAC projects need a custom quote. Your final out-of-pocket cost depends on your home, the heat pump or furnace you choose, and which rebates are available when you apply.
Some homeowners may pay around $5,000 to $40,000 out of pocket, depending on ductwork, electrical needs, equipment, and rebate eligibility. We’ll help you understand the numbers before you commit.
My ductwork is 40 years old. Can it handle a modern heat pump?
Maybe, but we’d need to check it first. Older ductwork can sometimes work with a modern heat pump, but many 40-year-old systems are undersized, leaky, or not ideal for high-efficiency equipment.
We inspect the duct size, condition, and airflow before recommending a ducted heat pump installation. If upgrades are needed, we’ll explain the options in plain language.
How do you determine what size heat pump or furnace my West Vancouver home needs?
We start with your home, not a rule of thumb. The right heat pump or furnace size depends on your layout, insulation, windows, airflow, ductwork, and how you use the space.
That’s why we do an in-home assessment and heat load calculation before recommending a system. This helps prevent an oversized or undersized HVAC system and gives you better comfort year-round.
