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.
West Vancouver specifics: West Van's elevation range — sea level at Ambleside to over 500m at the top of British Properties and Cypress Park — creates real climate differences. Higher-elevation homes need cold-climate inverter heat pumps rated to -25°C; waterfront homes need coastal-rated coil coatings. British Properties and Caulfield estates often require multiple zones or dual-system setups for large square footage. We don't oversize for budget or undersize for cost.
