Heat pumps are reliable but when they fail they need someone who actually understands inverter-driven systems — not a generic HVAC tech guessing at error codes. DirectBuy Furnace runs same-day heat pump repair across the Lower Mainland with techs trained on Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Trane, Carrier, Lennox, and Fujitsu inverter platforms.
We pull error codes off the control board, test the inverter, refrigerant pressures, and reversing valve operation, identify the failure, and quote the repair before starting work. Heat pumps under warranty get the warranty claim filed for you. Where the failure is terminal we lay out the math on repair vs. replacement — and which BC Hydro rebates apply to a new install.
Vancouver specifics: Vancouver's wet, mild winters and increasingly hot summers (post-2021 heat dome) make heat pumps an exceptional fit — they handle both heating and cooling on a single system. Cold-climate heat pumps now operate efficiently down to -25°C, which is well below anything Vancouver actually sees. Most Vancouver heat pump installations complete in 1 day; complex retrofits in older homes (knob-and-tube wiring updates, duct modifications) may require 2 days.
