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.
Burnaby specifics: Burnaby's hilly geography creates microclimates: South Slope and Big Bend run a bit warmer; Burnaby Mountain runs colder and wetter. We size systems for the actual elevation and exposure of your specific lot, not a generic Burnaby average. Burnaby strata properties (townhomes, low-rises) often require coordination with property managers — we handle the strata package as part of our service.
