If a heat pump isn't the right fit — older home with no electrical capacity, dual-fuel scenario, tight budget — a high-efficiency 96%+ AFUE gas furnace is still a smart Port Moody choice. We install Lennox SLP99V, Carrier Infinity, Trane S9V2, Goodman GMVC96, and Bryant Evolution units, all with multi-stage burners and variable-speed ECM blowers that cut gas use by 25–40% versus a 1990s furnace.
Port Moody's housing stock makes furnace replacement a different job than in Coquitlam or Burnaby. Glenayre and College Park homes (1960s–80s) typically have crawlspace or basement furnaces with original ductwork — we redo plenum connections and check for duct leakage. Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods (1990s–2000s) often run furnaces in mechanical closets that need vent re-routing for high-efficiency direct-vent. Inlet Centre and condo townhomes may be on shared chimneys that condensing units cannot use.
Every furnace install includes load calculation, gas line sizing review, vent termination per current B149.1 code, City of Port Moody mechanical permit, Technical Safety BC gas permit, and CO testing on commissioning. 10-year labor warranty on the install plus full manufacturer warranty (typically 10-year parts, lifetime heat exchanger) on the equipment.
What's Included
High-efficiency 96%+ AFUE only
We don't install 80% units. The fuel savings on a 96%+ unit pay for the upgrade in 4–6 years plus you qualify for the FortisBC rebate.
Proper sizing — not oversize
Most older Port Moody furnaces are oversized. We do a Manual J load calc to spec the right size — 60–80k BTU is correct for most 1,800 sq ft homes here, not 100k.
FortisBC rebate paperwork
Up to $1,000 back from FortisBC for a high-efficiency furnace. Often stackable with smart thermostat rebate ($100). We submit on your behalf.
Vent termination + gas permit
High-efficiency furnaces vent through the wall, not the chimney. We pull the City of Port Moody mechanical permit and Technical Safety BC gas permit included in the quote.
Old furnace removal + disposal
We haul the old unit, ducting connectors, and any abandoned gas pipe. Asbestos-tape-wrapped ducts in 1960s–70s Port Moody homes get a HazMat-safe wrap-and-remove.
Smart thermostat included
Ecobee Premium or Honeywell T9 with sensors included on every install — paired and configured before we leave.
What Makes a Port Moody Furnace Install Different
Port Moody's older neighborhoods complicate furnace replacements in ways most online quotes don't account for. Glenayre and College Park homes from the 1960s–70s commonly run gas furnaces in tight crawlspaces, sometimes with the original asbestos-tape-wrapped supply trunks. We assess the existing ducting, replace damaged sections, and remove asbestos materials following WorkSafeBC protocols at no extra charge.
Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods homes (1990s–2000s) usually have high-efficiency-ready vent paths but need careful re-termination — original 80% units vented through the chimney, while 96%+ replacements need PVC sidewall venting that respects setbacks from windows, soffits, and grade. We check the City of Port Moody zoning rules for your specific lot before quoting.
Newer Inlet Centre and Newport Village townhomes can be tricky — some share chimneys (condensing furnace not allowed), some are on common gas lines with sizing constraints, and some are tied into the strata's central HVAC. We check building plans and confirm with the property manager before specifying equipment.

What Port Moody Homeowners Say
“Bought a 1972 College Park split-level. Original furnace was on its last leg and the panel was 100A Federal Pacific. They replaced both, pulled the City of Port Moody electrical permit, and passed inspection first try. Honest pricing.”
“1968 Glenayre rancher — original galvanized was failing. They re-piped the whole house in PEX over three days, only opened drywall where they had to, and patched everything before leaving. Pressure is back to normal everywhere.”
“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.”
