Quick and Reliable HVAC Services

When a furnace fails in the middle of a January freeze or an air conditioner stops working during a July heatwave, speed is the most critical factor. Homeowners in Burnaby require immediate attention to prevent frozen pipes or dangerous indoor temperatures. Our service model prioritizes rapid response times, ensuring that critical failures are addressed the same day they are reported.

We handle the full spectrum of HVAC requirements, from gas furnaces and boilers to central air conditioning and ductless mini-splits. The local climate presents specific challenges, such as high humidity during the winter and increasingly dry, hot summers. These conditions place unique stressors on heat exchangers and compressor units. Our technicians arrive fully stocked with common parts to resolve most issues in a single visit, minimizing downtime for your household.

Reliability extends beyond just speed; it means the repair holds up over time. We focus on diagnosing the root cause of the failure; whether it is a refrigerant leak, a faulty ignition sensor, or a burnt-out motor, rather than just patching the symptom. This approach reduces the likelihood of repeat visits and ensures your system operates at peak efficiency for the remainder of the season.

What You Get With Our Service

Hiring a professional HVAC contractor should remove the guesswork from home maintenance. We provide a transparent, step-by-step service experience designed to inform you of the system's status without overwhelming you with technical jargon. When you book a service call, you receive a clear timeline and a dedicated window for arrival.

Comprehensive Diagnostics

Every service visit begins with a thorough diagnostic assessment. For heating systems, this involves checking carbon monoxide levels, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, and testing the thermostat calibration. For cooling systems, we measure refrigerant levels, check airflow across the evaporator coil, and inspect electrical connections. You receive a detailed report of findings before any work begins.

Transparent Scope of Work

Once the issue is identified, we provide a written quote detailing the necessary repairs. This scope includes:

1. A breakdown of required parts and materials.
2. Estimated labor hours to complete the job.
3. A clear explanation of why the specific repair is necessary for system longevity.
4. Verification of warranty coverage for existing equipment.

Professional Execution and Cleanup

Our technicians treat your home with respect. We use drop cloths to protect flooring and wear shoe covers while working indoors. After the repair or installation is complete, the work area is cleaned thoroughly, and all old components or debris are removed from the premises. You are left with a fully functional system and a clean space.

Streamlined Installation and Maintenance Processes

Rep-Air Heating And Cooling utilizes a structured approach to both new installations and routine maintenance. This ensures consistency and adherence to manufacturer specifications, which is vital for validating warranties and ensuring energy efficiency.

System Installation Protocol

Installing a new HVAC system is a major investment that requires precision. A poor installation can reduce system efficiency by up to 30%. Our installation process follows strict guidelines:

1. Load Calculation: We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact heating and cooling requirements of your home. This prevents the installation of oversized or undersized units, both of which cause short-cycling and increased wear.
2. Ductwork Assessment: We inspect existing ductwork for leaks or obstructions. If the ducts are not sealed properly, even the most efficient furnace will waste energy.
3. System Calibration: After the physical installation, we calibrate the blower speeds and gas pressure (for furnaces) or refrigerant charge (for AC/heat pumps) to match the manufacturer’s exact specifications.
4. User Training: We walk you through the operation of your new thermostat and system, explaining filter changes and maintenance schedules.

Preventative Maintenance Checklists

Routine maintenance is the only way to maximize the lifespan of your equipment. Our maintenance visits are comprehensive and go far beyond a simple filter change.

1. Heating Maintenance: Includes cleaning burners, inspecting the flue pipe for obstructions, testing safety controls, and lubricating moving parts.
2. Cooling Maintenance: Includes cleaning the condenser coil, checking the condensate drain for clogs, measuring amperage and voltage on the compressor, and tightening electrical connections.
3. Documentation: We log the current condition of your system, which helps in predicting future repairs and provides proof of maintenance for warranty claims.

Deciding Between Repair and Replacement

One of the most difficult decisions for a homeowner is knowing when to stop repairing an old unit and invest in a replacement. Making this decision requires balancing immediate costs against long-term savings and reliability. We help you evaluate the condition of your system using objective criteria.

The 50% Rule

A common industry standard we apply is the 50% rule. If the cost of the repair approaches 50% of the value of a new system, replacement is generally the better financial option. This is especially true if the system is out of warranty, as you would be paying significantly for parts that might fail again in a different capacity shortly after.

System Age and Efficiency

HVAC technology has improved significantly in the last decade.

1. Furnaces: If your furnace is over 15 years old, it likely operates at 60-70% efficiency. New models can reach up to 98% efficiency. Replacing an old unit can result in immediate savings on monthly utility bills.
2. Air Conditioners/Heat Pumps: Systems older than 10-12 years often use phased-out refrigerants that are expensive to restock. Newer systems are not only more efficient but also use environmentally friendly refrigerants that are easier to service.

Frequency of Breakdowns

If you have required repairs more than twice in the last two years, your system is likely reaching the end of its reliable service life. Frequent breakdowns indicate that internal components are failing in succession. Continuing to repair a failing system is often throwing good money after bad. We provide a side-by-side cost analysis of continuing repairs versus the monthly cost of financing a new, high-efficiency unit.

Local Compliance and Rebate Opportunities

Operating in British Columbia requires strict adherence to safety codes and environmental regulations. HVAC work involves gas lines, high-voltage electricity, and refrigerants, all of which are regulated to ensure public safety.

Permitting and Safety Codes

In Burnaby, installing a new furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner often requires a municipal permit. This ensures the installation meets current safety standards regarding ventilation, gas piping, and electrical grounding.

1. We manage the entire permitting process on your behalf.
2. We ensure all gas work is performed by licensed gas fitters in accordance with the BC Safety Authority.
3. We adhere to local noise bylaws regarding the placement of outdoor heat pump or AC units.

Navigating Rebates

There are significant financial incentives available for homeowners who upgrade to energy-efficient systems. Programs like CleanBC and rebates from local utility providers encourage the switch from fossil fuel heating to electric heat pumps or high-efficiency hybrid systems.

1. We stay up to date on all active rebate programs and eligibility requirements.
2. We assist in selecting equipment that qualifies for the highest tier of rebates.
3. We provide the necessary technical documentation and invoices required to submit your rebate claim successfully.
