Hydronic and combi boilers are common in older Lower Mainland homes — particularly in Vancouver, North Van, and West Van where in-floor radiant heat or cast-iron radiators are still in use. DirectBuy Furnace installs, replaces, and services residential boilers with TSBC-certified gas fitters and emergency response 24/7.
We diagnose boiler issues, replace failing units with high-efficiency condensing boilers (95%+ AFUE), install combi systems that handle both space heating and domestic hot water, and service existing systems for annual maintenance. Permits, inspections, and combustion analysis included.
Abbotsford specifics: Abbotsford summers exceed 30°C regularly; winters drop below -10°C several times a year. Cold-climate inverter heat pumps are the only safe spec — and the energy savings compared to electric baseboard or propane are dramatic. Sumas Prairie and rural Abbotsford homes often need oversized systems for larger square footage and may need cold-climate heat pumps rated for -25°C operation.
