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.
Richmond specifics: Richmond's Fraser delta location means damp winters and warm summers — heat pumps perform exceptionally well here, and the dehumidification cycle is a real comfort win. Richmond's flat geography and good road access mean installation logistics are typically straightforward, including for second-floor mini-split heads.
