Metro Vancouver · Serving 662,000+ residents. BC Hydro rebates available. 0% financing available. Licensed gas fitters. Same-day quotes, 7 days a week.
Vancouver homeowners face a unique HVAC challenge: a humid coastal climate, a housing stock that ranges from 1920s heritage homes in Strathcona to glass towers downtown, and the most stringent rebate qualifications in BC. DirectBuy Furnace has installed thousands of heat pumps, air conditioning systems, and high-efficiency furnaces across every Vancouver neighbourhood — and we know how to get every dollar of available BC Hydro and CleanBC rebate stacked onto your project.
Vancouver's wet, mild winters and increasingly hot summers (post-2021 heat dome) make heat pumps an exceptional fit — they handle both heating and cooling on a single system. Cold-climate heat pumps now operate efficiently down to -25°C, which is well below anything Vancouver actually sees.
From character craftsman homes on the West Side to mid-century bungalows in East Van, Vancouver's housing diversity means HVAC sizing needs to be done carefully. Older homes often have undersized ducting that needs upgrading; condos require ductless mini-splits.
Most Vancouver heat pump installations complete in 1 day; complex retrofits in older homes (knob-and-tube wiring updates, duct modifications) may require 2 days.
Five core services — same crew, same warranty, same upfront pricing. Every quote includes rebate processing and permit handling at no extra charge.
Heat pumps are the single most cost-effective HVAC upgrade for Vancouver homeowners — they replace your furnace AND air conditioner with one inverter-driven system that runs on electricity. Vancouver's wet, mild winters and increasingly hot summers (post-2021 heat dome) make heat pumps an exceptional fit — they handle both heating and cooling on a single system. Cold-climate heat pumps now operate efficiently down to -25°C, which is well below anything Vancouver actually sees. Most Vancouver customers see 60–70% lower heating bills compared to old natural gas furnaces, and the rebate stack typically covers 40–60% of installation cost.
❄️If your Vancouver home already has ductwork, a central A/C add-on is the fastest, least-disruptive cooling upgrade. Typical installation: 4–6 hours. We use Trane, General Electric, and Fujitsu condensers — sized correctly for Vancouver's climate, not over-spec'd to inflate the quote.
💨Ductless mini-splits are perfect for older Vancouver homes without existing ducts, additions, basements, or condos where running ductwork is impractical. We install Mitsubishi, Daikin, and LG inverter systems with ultra-quiet outdoor units (under 55 dB) that won't bother neighbours.
🔥For Vancouver homeowners not yet ready to convert to a heat pump, modern 96% AFUE natural gas furnaces remain an excellent option. Our certified TSBC gas fitters handle the install, permit, and BC Safety Authority inspection — typically completed in a single day. Trane, General Electric, Fujitsu, Rheem, and Rinnai available.
🚿Tank, tankless, and heat pump water heaters from Rheem, Bradford White, Navien, and Rinnai. We also install and service residential boilers — common in older Vancouver homes with hydronic radiant heating. Same-day emergency replacement available for total water-heater failures.
A few of the Vancouver areas we work in most often — but if you don't see your street here, give us a call anyway. We serve every neighbourhood in Vancouver and the surrounding Lower Mainland.
Vancouver homeowners in single-family homes may qualify for the City of Vancouver's Empower Me program in addition to BC Hydro and CleanBC rebates — the stack varies — we help you apply for every program you may qualify for. BC Hydro and CleanBC offer heat pump rebate programs that stack together; some installations also qualify for additional FortisBC, federal Canada Greener Homes, and city-specific incentives. We file every rebate form on your behalf — at no extra charge — and the cheque typically arrives 8–12 weeks after installation.
Heat pump installations vary widely based on your home, ductwork, and electrical capacity. Actual rebate amount depends on what you qualify for — we walk you through how to apply. Call 604-210-9585 for a free same-day quote on your specific home.
