When the AC quits in late July — and Heritage Mountain at 200m+ regularly hits 35 °C — waiting two weeks for a repair isn't an option. Our techs are refrigerant-certified (TQ Red Seal + ODP), service every brand sold in Metro Vancouver (Mitsubishi, Daikin, Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Fujitsu, LG, Samsung), and carry the most common failure parts on every van.
Port Moody AC repair patterns are predictable. Suter Brook and Newport Village condos commonly fail on capacitors and contactors — the salt air from the Inlet pits the contacts. Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods ductless systems usually fail on flow-control valves, condensate pumps, or refrigerant leaks at flare connections. Pleasantside and Ioco see coil corrosion from salt air — caught early with a chemical clean and re-coat, otherwise full coil replacement.
We don't charge overtime, weekend rates, or after-hours premiums. Diagnostic is waived if you proceed with the repair. Every fix carries a workmanship warranty, and we document the work with photos. 1-hour callback guaranteed.
What's Included
Refrigerant-certified techs
TQ Red Seal + Ozone Depletion Prevention certified. Required for any work involving R-410A, R-32, R-454B refrigerants.
Same-day diagnostic
Call before 2pm — usually on-site that afternoon. Most diagnostic visits identify the failure within 30 minutes.
Common-part stocking
Capacitors, contactors, condensate pumps, flow-control valves, fan motors, control boards stocked on every van for first-visit repair.
Refrigerant leak detection + repair
Electronic leak detector + UV dye method. We find leaks (often at flare connections or evaporator coils), repair, evacuate, and recharge. No 'top-up and run' — that's not legal in BC.
Coil cleaning + chemical treatment
Coastal salt-air homes (Pleasantside, Ioco) need annual coil chemical cleaning. We provide that service — extends coil life by 5+ years.
Strata-aware service
Suter Brook, Newport Village, Aria — we know access protocols, work hour rules, and dB-limit restrictions. No surprise call-backs from property managers.
What Goes Wrong with AC in Port Moody
Capacitor and contactor failures dominate. The salt air around the Inlet pits the contacts on outdoor units faster than inland systems. Suter Brook, Newport Village, Inlet Centre, Pleasantside, and Ioco systems commonly need contactor replacement at 6–8 years vs the 10–12-year industry average. We catch this on annual maintenance and replace before failure.
Refrigerant leaks at flare connections are the most common ductless failure across Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods. Flares loosen with thermal cycling — especially on systems installed by less experienced crews. We re-flare with proper torque, check with electronic leak detector, and recharge if needed. Most leaks are repairable; only ~10% of cases need full line set replacement.
Condensate problems are the #1 ductless service call we run in Port Moody. Mini-split heads have a small condensate pump that fails, clogs, or loses its prime. Symptoms: water dripping from the head, AC shuts off on float switch. Cheap fix when caught early ($280–$450) — water damage if ignored.

What Port Moody Homeowners Say
“Suter Brook condo — needed a replacement heat pump that fit the strata's exact spec for noise and aesthetics. They worked with our property manager, got the form 2 approval, and finished in one day. Very respectful of the building.”
“Two-storey Heritage Woods home was unbearable upstairs every July. They installed a multi-zone ductless system — three heads — and finished in two days. Quiet, efficient, and they walked us through every control on the remote.”
“Pleasantside waterfront home — old gas tank was rusting out. They installed a heat pump water heater after confirming the panel had capacity, and submitted the BC Hydro rebate on our behalf. Hot water back the same afternoon.”
