Lower Mainland summers since the 2021 heat dome have made working AC non-negotiable. DirectBuy Furnace handles same-day AC repair across every Lower Mainland city — central AC, ductless mini-splits, and heat pumps running in cooling mode. We diagnose, quote, and fix on the same visit when parts are on the truck.
We diagnose the issue (refrigerant leak, capacitor, contactor, condenser motor, evaporator coil, control board, thermostat), check refrigerant charge and electrical draw, and quote the repair before starting work. For systems past their useful life we lay out the math on repair vs. replacement honestly — including whether a heat pump retrofit would qualify for major rebates.
Abbotsford specifics: Abbotsford summers exceed 30°C regularly; winters drop below -10°C several times a year. Cold-climate inverter heat pumps are the only safe spec — and the energy savings compared to electric baseboard or propane are dramatic. Sumas Prairie and rural Abbotsford homes often need oversized systems for larger square footage and may need cold-climate heat pumps rated for -25°C operation.
