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.
North Vancouver specifics: North Van runs colder than the south side of the inlet — Lynn Valley and the canyon areas can drop to -10°C in winter, well within the operational range of cold-climate inverter heat pumps but outside the comfort zone for budget units. Steep North Shore lots sometimes complicate condenser placement. We do site visits before quoting on hillside properties.
