Restore Your Comfort with Expert Heating Repair

A broken heating system is more than just an inconvenience; in the Pacific Northwest climate, it is a matter of safety and structural integrity for your home. During colder seasons, your heating system works overtime to combat the pervasive dampness that characterizes our region. Rep-Air Heating and Cooling understands that heating failure rarely happens at a convenient time.

Whether you are dealing with a furnace that is blowing cold air, a heat pump that has frozen over, or a boiler that refuses to ignite, our goal is to resolve the mechanical failure at its source rather than applying a temporary bandage.

High-quality heating repair focuses on accurate diagnostics. Many heating issues mimic one another—such as a clogged filter presenting like a failing blower motor or a thermostat issue resembling a control board failure. Professional intervention prevents cascading failures, extends equipment lifespan, and ensures efficient energy usage during peak heating months.

Our Comprehensive Heating Repair Process

Initial Assessment and Safety Check

Technicians begin with a safety review—checking for gas leaks, electrical hazards, or water around the unit. Your observations (smells, noises, temperature inconsistencies) help guide the diagnostic process.

System Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

Using multimeters, manometers, thermostat checks, and internal inspections, the technician pinpoints the failure and identifies any secondary issues.

Proposal and Approval

You receive a detailed findings report with repair options and cost breakdowns. Temporary vs. permanent solutions are explained clearly. Work starts only after approval.

Execution of Repair

Repairs are completed according to manufacturer specifications and local codes. We protect your home with drop cloths and shoe covers.

Performance Testing and Calibration

The system is restarted and monitored for temperature rise, cycle performance, and thermostat accuracy.

Final Walkthrough and Documentation

We show you what was repaired, provide documentation for your records, and ensure all warranty requirements are met.

Deciding Between Repair and Replacement: Guiding You Through

The 50% Rule

If repair costs approach or exceed 50% of a new system’s value—and especially if the unit is out of warranty—replacement is often the wiser financial decision.

Age of the Equipment

Gas furnaces typically last 15–20 years; heat pumps 10–15 years. If your unit is near the end of its lifespan and needs a major repair, replacement may be more cost-effective and energy-efficient.

Frequency of Breakdowns

Repeated repairs indicate systemic component failure. Continuing to repair such a system often exceeds the cost of financing a new, reliable unit.

Safety Concerns

A cracked heat exchanger requires immediate shutdown due to carbon monoxide risk. In most cases, replacing the unit is the only safe choice.

Local Guidelines and Seasons: Staying Warm in Thornhill

Combatting High Humidity and Cool Winters

Thornhill’s damp winters (typically -1°C to 5°C) place significant strain on heat pumps. High humidity leads to frost buildup and frequent defrost cycles. Malfunctioning defrost components can cause system freeze-ups. Regular maintenance must emphasize sensor calibration and moisture management.

Permitting and Code Compliance

Major repairs involving gas lines or electrical circuits must meet British Columbia’s Technical Safety BC standards. Rep-Air Heating and Cooling ensures full compliance for safety, insurance validation, and future resale protection.

Energy Efficiency Rebates

BC rebate programs reward homeowners for upgrading to high-efficiency systems. Understanding efficiency standards can help you determine whether repairing or replacing makes more sense—especially when incentives are available.
