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.
Coquitlam specifics: Coquitlam's elevation along the north side ranges from sea level along the Fraser to over 600m on Burke Mountain — that means real winter cold-snaps that lower-elevation cities don't see. Cold-climate heat pumps are the right call for Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau homes. Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau homes need cold-climate heat pumps rated for -25°C — we don't undersize for Coquitlam's elevation winters.
