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.
West Vancouver specifics: West Van's elevation range — sea level at Ambleside to over 500m at the top of British Properties and Cypress Park — creates real climate differences. Higher-elevation homes need cold-climate inverter heat pumps rated to -25°C; waterfront homes need coastal-rated coil coatings. British Properties and Caulfield estates often require multiple zones or dual-system setups for large square footage. We don't oversize for budget or undersize for cost.
