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.
Chilliwack specifics: Chilliwack summers regularly exceed 32°C; winters drop below -15°C in cold-snaps. AC is essential, heat pumps are the most cost-effective single-system answer for both. Cold-climate inverter units are the only safe spec for Chilliwack. Promontory and Eastern Hillsides homes need cold-climate heat pumps rated for -25°C. Sardis and Garrison Crossing typical homes are more straightforward.
