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.
North Vancouver specifics: North Van runs colder than the south side of the inlet — Lynn Valley and the canyon areas can drop to -10°C in winter, well within the operational range of cold-climate inverter heat pumps but outside the comfort zone for budget units. Steep North Shore lots sometimes complicate condenser placement. We do site visits before quoting on hillside properties.
Many of the boilers projects we complete in North Vancouver are in Lower Lonsdale, Central Lonsdale, and Lynn Valley. Steep North Shore lots sometimes complicate condenser placement. We do site visits before quoting on hillside properties.
