When a furnace fails on a cold Port Moody night — and Heritage Mountain at elevation gets cold fast — waiting is not an option. Our techs service every brand sold in Metro Vancouver: Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Bryant, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, Coleman, Payne, York, Daikin. The most common failure parts (ignitors, flame sensors, capacitors, pressure switches, gas valves, control boards) are stocked on every van so most repairs finish in a single visit.
Port Moody's housing makes furnace repair a different game from elsewhere. Glenayre and College Park 1960s–80s split-levels run furnaces in damp crawlspaces — pressure switches and flame sensors corrode faster here than in inland homes. Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods homes have condensing furnaces with PVC vent runs, where ice in the termination during cold snaps trips pressure switches. Inlet Centre and condo townhomes often share gas lines and need careful diagnosis to rule out supply pressure problems before swapping parts.
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 on every emergency call.
What's Included
Same-day diagnostic
Call before 2pm, a licensed gas fitter is usually on-site that afternoon. Most diagnostic visits identify the failure within 20–30 minutes.
Common-part stocking on every van
Ignitors, flame sensors, capacitors, blower motors, gas valves, pressure switches, control boards — stocked for first-visit repair.
Heat exchanger inspection
Cracked heat exchangers leak carbon monoxide. We borescope and CO-meter on every short-cycling, sooting, or moisture call — no extra charge.
Honest repair vs replace advice
Furnaces over 15 years old with major component failure are often better replaced than repaired. We walk through the math — never push replacement when repair is right.
Carbon monoxide testing
Every repair visit includes an ambient CO test in the equipment room. Tighter newer Port Moody homes (Heritage Woods, Suter Brook) are especially vulnerable.
Permits when required
Repairs touching the gas valve, vent train, or heat exchanger require a Technical Safety BC gas permit. We pull it as part of the job.
Why Port Moody Furnaces Fail
Crawlspace dampness is the #1 hidden killer of Port Moody furnaces. Glenayre, College Park, Pleasantside, and Ioco homes built before 1990 commonly run furnaces in unconditioned crawlspaces with marginal vapor barriers. Pressure switches corrode within 5–8 years, flame sensors get a heavy oxide coating that drops microamp signal, and induced-draft motor bearings wear early. We see these calls weekly.
Vent termination problems dominate Heritage Mountain, Heritage Woods, and newer Inlet Centre furnace failures. Condensing furnaces vent through PVC out the wall, and during cold snaps (which happen every winter at Heritage Mountain elevation), water freezes in the termination and trips the pressure switch. We clear, re-pitch, and add insulating sleeves — usually a 1-hour fix with no parts.
Gas pressure issues show up in older parts of Port Moody where supply lines run long distances. Glenayre and parts of College Park have undersized 1/2" gas runs that drop pressure when the furnace and water heater fire simultaneously. Symptoms: random shutdowns, flame sensor errors, pressure switch trips. Diagnosis takes a manometer test we do as part of the service.

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.”
“Anmore loses power for hours every winter. They installed a Generac standby generator with automatic transfer switch, ran the gas line, and pulled the permit. First windstorm after install — power flipped back inside 15 seconds.”
