Good to know before you book
Do I need a permit to replace a furnace or heat pump in Metro Vancouver?
Yes. Gas appliance work requires a gas permit pulled by a licensed contractor, and most Metro Vancouver municipalities also require a mechanical or electrical permit for heat pump installations. A reputable company includes permits in its quote — ask before signing.
Are there rebates for switching to a heat pump in BC?
Yes. CleanBC and federal programs offer significant rebates for qualifying heat pump installations, and many established installers handle the paperwork for you. Always confirm rebate eligibility and who files the application before choosing equipment.
How should I compare HVAC quotes?
Get at least three quotes for the same scope, and confirm each includes equipment brand and model, permits, old-equipment disposal, and warranty terms. Be cautious of quotes far below the others — the gap often reappears as add-ons on the final invoice.
