Licensed Furnace Experts • Available 24/7 in Vancouver
Reliable furnace services for Vancouver homes — from emergency repairs in the middle of winter to high-efficiency furnace installation and replacement. Licensed technicians, upfront pricing, and fast response across Metro Vancouver.
Same-Day Service Available • Licensed & Insured
A reliable furnace isn’t a luxury in Vancouver — it’s essential. With wet winters and temperatures that drop into freezing, your home heating system works hard for months at a time. When it fails, you need a team that responds fast, diagnoses accurately, and fixes it right the first time.
Avest Air has been serving Metro Vancouver homeowners with professional furnace repair, installation, and replacement services. Whether you have a 20-year-old gas furnace that’s struggling or you’re planning an upgrade to a high-efficiency model, our licensed technicians deliver practical solutions, transparent pricing, and work that lasts.
From emergency breakdowns to planned replacements, we handle every furnace service with the same commitment to quality and clear communication — because your comfort and safety matter.
From emergency repair to full replacement, Avest Air handles every aspect of residential furnace service — with honest assessments, clear pricing, and workmanship you can trust.
Strange noises, weak airflow, inconsistent heating, or pilot light issues? We diagnose and repair all common furnace problems — ignition failures, blower motor issues, thermostat malfunctions, gas valve problems, and more. Most repairs completed same-day.
Furnaces typically last 15–20 years. If yours is older, repairs are frequent, or energy bills keep rising, replacement is often smarter than another repair. We help you compare costs, review efficiency gains, and upgrade to a system that saves money for decades.
Annual furnace maintenance extends equipment life, maintains safety, and can lower heating bills by up to 15%. Our multi-point inspection checks combustion, airflow, electrical connections, gas lines, and safety controls — catching small issues before they become emergencies.
Don’t Wait Until Your Heat Fails
Furnaces often show warning signs before a major breakdown. If you notice any of these issues in your Vancouver home, call Avest Air — catching problems early saves money and prevents cold nights without heat.
Addressing these signs early protects your family’s comfort and safety — and prevents small issues from becoming expensive emergencies.

Most Metro Vancouver homeowners prefer working with a single HVAC company they trust — one team that knows their furnace history, warranty status, and preferences. That’s the relationship we aim to build from the first service call.
Furnace service costs in Vancouver vary based on what’s needed. Minor repairs like thermostat replacements or ignition fixes typically range from $150–$400. Major repairs involving blower motors, heat exchangers, or gas valves can run $500–$1,500. A full furnace replacement with high-efficiency installation generally costs $4,000–$8,000 depending on your home’s size and the unit selected. Avest Air always provides a written estimate before any work begins — no surprise charges.
A general rule: if your furnace is under 10 years old, repair is usually the better choice. Between 10–15 years, it depends on the repair cost — if a single repair exceeds 30% of replacement cost, replacement often makes more sense. For furnaces over 15 years old, especially mid-efficiency units, replacement typically saves money long-term through lower energy bills and fewer breakdowns. We help you run the numbers during our assessment so you can decide with confidence.
A standard residential furnace installation in Vancouver typically takes 4–8 hours for a direct replacement. If the installation involves ductwork modifications, gas line upgrades, or venting changes, plan for a full day or two. We complete most replacements in a single day, and always test and walk you through the new system before leaving.
Yes. Avest Air provides 24/7 emergency furnace repair across Metro Vancouver — Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, and North Vancouver. Whether your furnace fails on a weekend, holiday, or during the middle of the night, we respond quickly. Most emergency calls are reached within 90 minutes. Call (604) 977-3909 anytime.
Several steps can improve furnace efficiency: (1) Replace filters every 1–3 months — dirty filters reduce airflow and strain the system. (2) Schedule annual maintenance to keep the blower, burners, and heat exchanger clean. (3) Seal duct leaks — up to 20% of heated air can escape through unsealed ducts. (4) Upgrade your thermostat to a programmable or smart model. (5) Consider replacement if your furnace is 15+ years old — new high-efficiency models can deliver 95–98% AFUE versus 60–80% for older units.
Watch for these warning signs: unusual noises (banging, squealing, rattling), uneven heating between rooms, rising energy bills without usage changes, frequent on/off cycling, yellow pilot light (should be blue), visible soot around the unit, unusual smells (especially sulfur or rotten eggs — call us immediately, this indicates gas issues), and short system lifespan with frequent repairs. Any of these signals should prompt a professional inspection before the issue escalates.
Yes. FortisBC offers rebates for qualifying high-efficiency natural gas furnace installations, typically ranging from $300–$1,000 depending on the model’s AFUE rating. BC Hydro also provides rebates for electric furnace upgrades under the CleanBC program. Avest Air can guide you through eligibility requirements and paperwork during your consultation.
In Vancouver, natural gas furnaces are still most common because of lower operating costs and faster heating response. However, electric furnaces make sense in homes without gas service, or for homeowners focused on carbon reduction. Heat pumps are increasingly popular as a third option, offering both heating and cooling with strong BC Hydro rebates. We help you compare all three during your consultation.
Whether you need emergency furnace repair, a system diagnostic, or a full replacement with high-efficiency upgrades, Avest Air is ready to help. Licensed technicians, same-day service, and honest pricing — that’s how we’ve earned the trust of Metro Vancouver homeowners.
