Heater Installation & Replacement in Vancouver

Certified Furnace & Boiler Installation Across Metro Vancouver

At Quan Plumbing and Heating, our heating installation work is built around two things: technical precision and clear communication. Each install includes a full assessment of your existing system, a clear explanation of your options, and a flat-rate estimate before any equipment is ordered or installed.

We're fully licensed, bonded, and insured on every job, and we walk you through our findings and your options before any work begins.

If your heating system is struggling or has failed, call (604) 210-6378 to schedule an assessment.

Furnace & Boiler Installation

We handle installation and replacement of furnaces and boilers for residential properties throughout Metro Vancouver. Whether you need a new system for a renovation or a full replacement of aging equipment, we work across both standard and high-efficiency configurations.

Furnaces

Furnace replacement is typically the right call when a unit is past 15 to 20 years old, cycling through repeated breakdowns, or driving up energy bills that don't resolve after servicing. We can also handle gas line connections and appliance installation during the same visit. You get a single point of contact from assessment through completion, and an upfront estimate before we install anything.

Boilers

Boilers can last 15 to 30 years depending on type and maintenance, but persistent pressure loss, visible corrosion, and frequent zone failures are signs that replacement is more cost-effective than another round of repairs. The same technician who assesses your system performs the installation, so nothing gets lost between diagnosis and the finished job.

Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose Quan Plumbing and Heating

Large HVAC chains and big-box installers compete on volume. We focus on accountability. Every decision at Quan Plumbing and Heating is made by the people doing the work, not routed through a call centre.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

• Flat-Rate Pricing: Every installation option is quoted at a flat rate so you know the total cost before we start.
• Diagnostic Fee Waiver: We charge $120 plus GST for a full in-home assessment. If you proceed with Quan Plumbing and Heating, that fee is waived entirely.
• No Surprise Invoices: You receive a transparent estimate before installation begins, covering equipment, labour, and any required permits.
• Consistent 5-Star Ratings: Our reviews reflect the standard we hold ourselves to on every call, including the complicated ones.
• Punctual, Pressure-Free Service: Our technicians arrive on time, explain what they find, and let you decide how to proceed.

Signs Your Heating System May Need Replacement

Some issues point to replacement being more economical than another repair, especially when systems are nearing the end of their expected lifespan. 

Common signs include:

• System Age: Furnaces past 15 to 20 years or boilers past 20 years are replacement candidates.
• Repair Costs: When a single repair approaches 50% of a new unit's price, replacement often makes more financial sense.
• Uneven Heating: Persistent cold zones that don't resolve after servicing.
• Rising Energy Bills: Increasing fuel costs with no improvement after tune-ups.
• Yellow or Flickering Pilot Flame: This may indicate combustion issues that should be inspected promptly.
• Visible Corrosion or Cracking: Especially around the heat exchanger.

Ongoing Maintenance After Installation

A new heating system is an investment worth protecting. We offer maintenance that includes regular inspections, pressure checks, leak detection, and system tune-ups to keep your equipment running efficiently and help you avoid unexpected repairs down the road.

Heating Installation FAQ

Are Permits Required for Heater Installation in Vancouver?

New gas appliance installations may require permits depending on the scope of work. As a licensed gas contractor, we handle the permit application process as part of the installation so you don't have to manage it separately.

Could I Qualify for a Rebate When Replacing My Heating System?

Homeowners replacing older gas heating systems may be eligible for CleanBC or FortisBC rebates on qualifying high-efficiency models. Program terms change frequently, so we recommend confirming current eligibility with the program administrator or asking us about it when you book your assessment.
