Immediate Heating Restoration and System Performance

When your heating system fails during a freeze, the priority is restoring warmth immediately to prevent frozen pipes and ensure occupant safety. Modern heating systems are complex integrations of electrical components, gas lines, and airflow dynamics. A failure in one area can trigger safety switches that shut down the entire unit.

At Rep-Air Heating and Cooling, our service focuses on rapid diagnostics and effective repair protocols that address the root cause rather than just the symptoms. We handle a wide spectrum of heating technologies throughout British Columbia, including high-efficiency gas furnaces, hydronic boiler systems, and electric heat pumps that are increasingly common in the region.

System Assessment and Fault Isolation

Upon arrival, the objective is to assess the system's vital signs—ignition sequences, flame sensor readings, static pressure in the ductwork, and heat exchanger integrity. By isolating the mechanical or electrical fault, we can provide a clear path to restoration.

Residents in Willowbrook require systems capable of handling rapid temperature fluctuations. Our scope covers everything from minor component replacements, such as igniters and blower motors, to major repairs involving cracked heat exchangers or failed compressors. We stock service vehicles with universal and OEM-specific parts to maximize the likelihood of completing repairs on the first visit.

Specialized Heating Services

• Comprehensive Diagnostics: Advanced multimeters and combustion analyzers read system error codes and test safety sensors.
• Gas Furnace Repair: Pilot issues, thermocouple replacements, condensate drain blockages, and gas valve calibration.
• Heat Pump Troubleshooting: Refrigerant leaks, reversing valve failures, and defrost board malfunctions.
• Boiler Maintenance: Circulator pump repairs, expansion tanks, and zone valve service.
• Safety Inspections: Carbon monoxide checks and venting system inspection to ensure safe exhaust flow.

The Installation and Replacement Process

Installing a new heating system is a construction project requiring precise calculations and adherence to engineering standards. A unit that is too large will short-cycle, while a unit too small will run continuously without reaching the thermostat setting. At Rep-Air Heating and Cooling, we design a replacement process that ensures the system operates at peak efficiency from day one.

Home Assessment and System Sizing

The process begins with a technical assessment of the home’s thermal envelope. Beyond reading the old model number, we evaluate window types, insulation levels, square footage, and sun exposure. This data informs a load calculation that ensures the new furnace or heat pump is properly sized.

Safe and Efficient System Installation

Once the correct unit is selected, we follow strict protocols:

1. Preparing the site with floor protection and disconnecting the old equipment
2. Removing and disposing of old materials per environmental regulations
3. Positioning and leveling new equipment for proper drainage
4. Modifying the plenum for proper airflow and air sealing

Venting, Gas Lines, and Commissioning

We install venting systems according to high-efficiency unit requirements, reconnect gas lines with new sediment traps, and update electrical wiring to meet code.

Commissioning includes adjusting gas pressure, fine-tuning blower speeds, and checking temperature rise. We then calibrate or upgrade the thermostat and walk homeowners through system operation and maintenance schedules.

Deciding Between Repair and System Replacement

Homeowners often face a difficult decision when equipment breaks down. At Rep-Air Heating and Cooling, we help you evaluate repairs vs. replacement based on data, safety, and long-term financial impact.

Factors That Influence the Decision

• System Age: Furnaces last 15–20 years; heat pumps 12–15 years. Older systems have lower efficiency and hard-to-find parts.
• The 50% Rule: If the repair cost approaches 50% of a new system, replacement is typically more cost-effective.
• Safety Issues: A cracked heat exchanger requires immediate replacement due to carbon monoxide risks.
• Repair Frequency: Multiple repairs within two years indicate sequential component failure.
• Energy Bills: Rising costs without increased usage signal reduced efficiency.
• Comfort Problems: Uneven temperatures or excessive dryness often reveal deeper system issues.
• Noise Levels: Banging, rattling, or squealing usually indicates severe wear.
• Warranty Status: Out-of-warranty units shift full repair costs to the homeowner.

Navigating Local Regulations and Winter Requirements

Heating systems in British Columbia must meet specific provincial codes and utility requirements, especially with the region’s damp, cold winters. At Rep-Air Heating and Cooling, we ensure all work complies with safety standards and rebate requirements.

Code Compliance and Professional Requirements

1. Gas work must be completed by certified Class B Gas Fitters.
2. Local programs like CleanBC and utility rebates require professional installation.
3. DIY or unlicensed work often disqualifies homeowners from rebates.

Regulatory Considerations

• Permitting: Needed for major installations such as furnace replacement or gas line installation. We handle the entire permitting process.
• Venting Codes: Exhaust vents must meet clearance rules to prevent re-entry of gases.
• Condensate Management: High-efficiency furnaces require proper neutralization before entering sewage systems.
• Seismic Restraints: Some BC locations require equipment strapping for earthquake protection.
• Electrical Upgrades: Heat pumps may need dedicated circuits or service upgrades, which we assess during planning.

Why Homeowners Choose Specialized Heating Technicians
