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.
Victoria specifics: Victoria has the mildest climate in Canada — rarely below 0°C in winter, summers in the mid-to-high 20s. Most homes don't need extreme cold-climate spec; standard inverter heat pumps cover both the heating and the increasingly warm summers efficiently. Victoria service involves ferry logistics, so we batch Island appointments — typical lead time is 2–3 weeks. We pass the ferry/route efficiency on so pricing stays competitive with Mainland quotes.
