New Westminster's housing stock is one of the oldest and most architecturally diverse in Metro Vancouver — heritage Queen's Park homes, Brow of the Hill character houses, Sapperton bungalows, and the high-rise Quay all need different HVAC strategies. DirectBuy Furnace has installed heat pumps, AC systems, and high-efficiency furnaces across every New West neighbourhood, and we know the heritage permit process inside out.
New West shares Vancouver's mild coastal climate — wet winters, warm summers (especially on the south-facing Fraser slope). Heat pumps are an exceptional fit for both heating and cooling.
Pre-1940 heritage homes dominate Queen's Park and parts of West End/Brow of the Hill. These often have undersized ducting (or none), knob-and-tube wiring, and heritage permit requirements. Newer Quay and Victoria Hill condos use ductless mini-splits.
Heritage homes (Queen's Park, parts of Brow of the Hill) require careful permit and design work — we coordinate with the City's heritage planning staff as part of our service.
Five core services — same crew, same warranty, same upfront pricing. Every quote includes rebate processing and permit handling at no extra charge.
Heat pumps are the single most cost-effective HVAC upgrade for New Westminster homeowners — they replace your furnace AND air conditioner with one inverter-driven system that runs on electricity. New West shares Vancouver's mild coastal climate — wet winters, warm summers (especially on the south-facing Fraser slope). Heat pumps are an exceptional fit for both heating and cooling. Most New Westminster customers see 60–70% lower heating bills compared to old natural gas furnaces, and the rebate stack typically covers 40–60% of installation cost.
❄️If your New Westminster home already has ductwork, a central A/C add-on is the fastest, least-disruptive cooling upgrade. Typical installation: 4–6 hours. We use Trane, General Electric, and Fujitsu condensers — sized correctly for New Westminster's climate, not over-spec'd to inflate the quote.
💨Ductless mini-splits are perfect for older New Westminster homes without existing ducts, additions, basements, or condos where running ductwork is impractical. We install Mitsubishi, Daikin, and LG inverter systems with ultra-quiet outdoor units (under 55 dB) that won't bother neighbours.
🔥For New Westminster homeowners not yet ready to convert to a heat pump, modern 96% AFUE natural gas furnaces remain an excellent option. Our certified TSBC gas fitters handle the install, permit, and BC Safety Authority inspection — typically completed in a single day. Trane, General Electric, Fujitsu, Rheem, and Rinnai available.
🚿Tank, tankless, and heat pump water heaters from Rheem, Bradford White, Navien, and Rinnai. We also install and service residential boilers — common in older New Westminster homes with hydronic radiant heating. Same-day emergency replacement available for total water-heater failures.
A few of the New Westminster areas we work in most often — but if you don't see your street here, give us a call anyway. We serve every neighbourhood in New Westminster and the surrounding Lower Mainland.
New Westminster homeowners qualify for the full provincial rebate stack. Heritage homes may also qualify for additional retrofit incentives — we'll identify them during your quote. BC Hydro and CleanBC offer heat pump rebate programs that stack together; some installations also qualify for additional FortisBC, federal Canada Greener Homes, and city-specific incentives. We file every rebate form on your behalf — at no extra charge — and the cheque typically arrives 8–12 weeks after installation.

Heritage homes may run higher due to permit and design requirements.

Yes. For homes in Queen's Park or other heritage districts, we work with City staff to ensure your installation meets heritage guidelines. Permit handling is included in our quote.
It depends on the home's envelope, electrical capacity, and existing ductwork. We do free in-home assessments before quoting because pre-1940 New West homes vary too much for a one-size-fits-all answer.
