Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new boiler installation cost in BC?

The cost of a new boiler installation varies widely depending on the type of boiler, its efficiency, and the complexity of the job. While we cannot give a specific price without an in-home assessment, we provide detailed, transparent quotes. We focus on providing excellent value through quality workmanship and reliable equipment.

How long does a boiler installation take?

A standard boiler replacement can typically be completed in one to two days. More complex installations, such as those requiring significant piping changes or integration with new radiant flooring, may take longer. We will provide a clear timeline for your specific project during our initial consultation.

What is the difference between a combi boiler and a conventional boiler?

A conventional boiler (or system boiler) works with a separate storage tank to provide hot water for both heating and domestic use. A combi boiler is a single, compact unit that provides both space heating and on-demand hot water, eliminating the need for a tank and saving space.

What is a high-efficiency condensing boiler?

A condensing boiler has a second heat exchanger that captures additional heat from the exhaust gases, which would be wasted in a non-condensing boiler. This process makes them over 90% efficient, saving you money on your energy bills and reducing your environmental impact.

How often should I service my boiler?

We recommend having your boiler professionally serviced once a year. Regular maintenance ensures your system runs safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, and is often required to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid. Our technicians can perform comprehensive annual tune-ups.

Is radiant floor heating a good option?

Radiant floor heating is an excellent choice for comfort and efficiency. It provides a gentle, even warmth from the floor up, feels wonderful on your feet, and operates silently. It is particularly well-suited for homes with high ceilings and open floor plans, and it works perfectly with modern high-efficiency boilers.

Can I get a rebate for a new boiler?

Yes, significant rebates are available from FortisBC and CleanBC for installing a high-efficiency natural gas boiler. As a FortisBC Trade Ally, we can help you understand the eligibility requirements and guide you through the application process to ensure you receive the maximum available rebate for your new boiler installation.

What are the signs I need a new boiler?

Common signs include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, strange noises (kettling or gurgling), leaks, or an inability to keep your home consistently warm. If your boiler is over 15 years old, it is often more cost-effective to replace it with a new, high-efficiency model rather than continue with expensive repairs.
