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.
New Westminster specifics: 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. 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.
