Heating Systems We Repair
We repair every type of residential and light-commercial heating system installed across the Lower Mainland.
Gas & Electric Furnaces
Igniter failures, gas valve issues, blower motor problems, control board diagnostics, and complete system overhauls.
Boilers & Combi Boilers
Pressure faults, expansion tank issues, circulator pump failures, leak detection, and condensate drain repairs.
Heat Pumps & Mini-Splits
Refrigerant leaks, frozen coils, defrost cycle faults, communication errors, and compressor diagnostics.
Baseboard & Radiant Systems
Thermostat troubleshooting, element replacement, zone valve issues, and balancing for hydronic radiant floors.
Hot Water & Tankless
While focused on space heating, we also resolve hot water heating overlap issues — combined boiler-and-tank failures, indirect tank crossovers, and recirculation pump problems.
Common Heating Problems We Fix
Most failures fall into a small handful of categories. Our techs diagnose and resolve all of them quickly.
- No heat at all — failed igniters, gas valve, dead thermostats, tripped breakers
- Weak or uneven heat — dirty filters, blower issues, ductwork leaks, low refrigerant
- Strange noises — bad bearings, loose blower wheels, expansion noises, delayed ignition
- Short cycling — oversized equipment, bad pressure switches, blocked exhaust
- Carbon monoxide alerts — cracked heat exchangers, blocked vents (priority safety call)
- Water leaks at the unit — condensate line clogs, secondary drain pan overflow, boiler pressure relief discharge
- Cold rooms in a warm house — duct issues, zone control failures, balancing problems

What you wont find at Ace Tech: hourly clock-watching, hidden surcharges, or pressure to upsell unnecessary work. Furthermore, every quote is in writing before we begin.
How to Prevent Emergency Breakdowns
The best emergency call is the one you never have to make. Annual maintenance prevents the vast majority of mid-winter breakdowns.
- Schedule annual professional tune-ups in early fall
- Replace standard 1-inch filters every 60-90 days
- Test carbon monoxide detectors monthly and replace every 7-10 years
- Listen for new noises and act early instead of waiting
- Keep outdoor heat pump and AC units clear of leaves and debris
- Ensure boiler pressure stays within manufacturer range (usually 12-15 PSI cold)

How Vancouver Winters Stress Heating Equipment
Metro Vancouver winters are mild compared to most of Canada, but they bring their own unique challenges. Constant damp coastal air accelerates corrosion on heat exchangers, burners, and outdoor heat pump components. Long cool-but-not-freezing shoulder seasons mean systems cycle thousands of extra times per year compared to dry climates.
Microclimate matters. North Vancouver and West Vancouver homes face heavier rain and salt air, which dramatically shortens metal component life. Coquitlam, Port Moody, and Anmore properties at higher elevations see more freeze-thaw cycles, stressing condensate drains and pressure switches. Meanwhile, Richmond and South Burnaby homes battle near-constant humidity that promotes flue corrosion.
Our technicians factor these climate realities into every recommendation. As a result, you get parts and fixes engineered for our specific local conditions.
Energy Savings & Rebates
If your heating equipment is over 12 years old or under 90% AFUE efficiency, upgrading often pays for itself within 5-7 years. Major rebate programs include:
- FortisBC Heating Rebates — up to $1,000 off high-efficiency furnaces and $6,000 off heat pumps
- Canada Greener Homes Initiative — bundle savings on heat pump conversions
Our team handles all rebate paperwork at no extra charge.
Emergency Heating Repair Vancouver FAQ
How fast can you respond to an emergency?
Most calls reach a tech within 2-4 hours, often sooner in Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster. Furthermore, we run 24/7 with no after-hours surcharges on stat holidays.
Do you charge extra for nights or weekends?
No. Our flat-rate pricing is the same every hour of the year. The only premium is for stat holidays, and even those have no extra service-call fee.
What heating systems do you service?
We repair gas and electric furnaces, boilers, combi boilers, heat pumps, mini-splits, baseboards, and hydronic radiant systems. If it heats a home in BC, we likely service it.
Should I shut off my system before you arrive?
If you smell gas, leave the home immediately and call 911 followed by FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911. For water leaks, shut off the water supply to the unit. Otherwise, leave the system as-is so we can diagnose accurately.
Are you licensed and insured in BC?
Absolutely. Ace Tech holds Red Seal, TECA Quality First, Gas-A, FortisBC trade ally, HRAI, and WorkSafeBC credentials. Every technician is bonded and background-checked.
