Common Furnace Problems We Fix
Most failures fall into a small handful of categories. Our techs diagnose and resolve all of them quickly.
No Heat or Weak Heat
Usually a failed igniter, dirty flame sensor, gas valve issue, or thermostat fault. Most of these are same-visit fixes.
Furnace Won’t Turn On
Common causes include tripped breakers, bad transformers, faulty pressure switches, or control board failures. We carry replacement boards for major brands on every truck.
Short Cycling
If your furnace turns on and off rapidly, it usually means an oversized unit, dirty filter, blocked exhaust, or failing limit switch. Quick to diagnose, vital to fix.
Strange Noises
Banging, squealing, or rumbling all point to specific issues — bad blower bearings, delayed ignition, or loose ductwork. We pinpoint the source before recommending repairs.
Yellow Pilot or Soot Buildup
These indicate incomplete combustion and possible carbon monoxide risk. We always treat these as priority safety calls.

Annual Maintenance & Tune-Ups
The best furnace repair is the one you never need. Our 21-point annual tune-up keeps your system running efficiently and protects your manufacturer warranty.
Each tune-up includes burner cleaning, flame sensor service, gas pressure verification, blower inspection, electrical checks, combustion analysis, and a full safety report with photos.
Tune-ups start at $159 plus tax. Furthermore, 2-system maintenance plans starting at $269/year include priority booking and 15% off any repairs.
Warning Signs You Need Furnace Service
Don’t wait for a complete breakdown. Book service immediately if you notice any of these:
- Yellow or flickering pilot flame (should be steady blue)
- Soot or rust around the burner area
- Hissing, popping, or whistling sounds
- Higher-than-usual gas bills with no usage change
- Carbon monoxide detector alerts
- Cold spots in rooms that used to feel warm
- Furnace running constantly without reaching set temperature
Even small symptoms point to bigger issues. As a result, early service nearly always costs less than emergency repairs.
Energy Savings & Rebates
If your furnace is over 12 years old or under 90% AFUE efficiency, upgrading often pays for itself within 5-7 years. Major rebate programs for high-efficiency upgrades include:
- FortisBC High-Efficiency Furnace Rebates — up to $1,000 back
- Canada Greener Homes Initiative — bundle savings on heat pump conversions
Our team handles all rebate paperwork at no extra charge.
Repair vs. Replace: Honest Advice
Not every old furnace needs replacement. We give straightforward guidance based on three factors: age, repair cost, and efficiency.
- Repair if the unit is under 12 years old, has a sound heat exchanger, and the fix is below 30% of replacement cost.
- Replace if the heat exchanger is cracked, the unit is over 18 years old, or you face a second major repair within 24 months.

How Vancouver Winters Affect Your Furnace
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 and burners. Long cool-but-not-freezing shoulder seasons mean furnaces 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 repair recommendation. As a result, you get parts and fixes engineered for our specific local conditions, not generic prairie or interior solutions.
Power Outage Considerations
BC Hydro outages spike every winter due to wind storms and falling trees. Modern high-efficiency furnaces with electronic ignition will not run without power. Therefore, we strongly recommend pairing your furnace with a battery backup or small generator if you live in an outage-prone area like the North Shore or Tri-Cities.
Furnace Repair Vancouver FAQ
How much does furnace repair Vancouver service cost?
Most common repairs run $189-$650 including parts and labour. Diagnostic fees start at $99 and apply to the repair cost if you proceed. Major control board or gas valve replacements may run $700-$1,400.
How fast can you respond to an emergency call?
Most emergency calls reach a tech within 2-4 hours. Furthermore, we run 24/7 with no after-hours surcharges on stat holidays.
Will repair void my warranty?
No — using a licensed Gas-A and Red Seal contractor (like every Ace Tech tech) actually preserves manufacturer warranties. We provide stamped service records after every visit.
Should I repair an older furnace?
If the unit is under 12 years old with a sound heat exchanger, repair almost always wins. However, if its over 18 or has cracked exchangers, replacement is safer and far cheaper long-term.
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.
