Hydronic and combi boilers are common in older Lower Mainland homes — particularly in Vancouver, North Van, and West Van where in-floor radiant heat or cast-iron radiators are still in use. DirectBuy Furnace installs, replaces, and services residential boilers with TSBC-certified gas fitters and emergency response 24/7.
We diagnose boiler issues, replace failing units with high-efficiency condensing boilers (95%+ AFUE), install combi systems that handle both space heating and domestic hot water, and service existing systems for annual maintenance. Permits, inspections, and combustion analysis included.
Coquitlam specifics: Coquitlam's elevation along the north side ranges from sea level along the Fraser to over 600m on Burke Mountain — that means real winter cold-snaps that lower-elevation cities don't see. Cold-climate heat pumps are the right call for Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau homes. Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau homes need cold-climate heat pumps rated for -25°C — we don't undersize for Coquitlam's elevation winters.
