24/7 No Heat Emergency Service in Vancouver
No heat doesn't wait for business hours, so neither do we. Call any time, day or night, weekends and holidays included, and you'll reach our team. We'll ask a few quick questions, make sure your home is safe, and book the first available technician. Same day service is available for no heat calls across Vancouver.
Vancouver's damp cold makes a house feel colder than the thermometer says, and older character homes with original ductwork lose heat fast. In condos and townhouses, a furnace or fan coil failure can also affect hot water and ventilation. That's why we treat every no heat call in the city as a priority.
Neighbourhoods We Cover in Vancouver
Our technicians work in every Vancouver neighbourhood, including:
- Kitsilano and Point Grey
- Kerrisdale, Dunbar and Southlands
- Shaughnessy and Oakridge
- Mount Pleasant and Riley Park
- East Vancouver, Grandview-Woodland and Hastings-Sunrise
- Renfrew-Collingwood and Killarney
- Marpole and Sunset
- Yaletown, the West End and Coal Harbour
From character houses with basement furnaces in Kitsilano to high efficiency units in East Van laneway homes, we know the systems you'll find in Vancouver homes and carry common parts for them.
Safe Quick Checks Before You Call
Some no heat calls turn out to be a setting or a switch. These checks are safe for any homeowner and take about ten minutes. Don't open the burner compartment, don't remove sealed panels, and don't try to relight a furnace more than once.
- Thermostat: make sure it's set to Heat, not Cool or Off, and that the set point is a few degrees above room temperature. If it runs on batteries and the screen is blank or faint, put in fresh ones.
- Power: check the furnace switch near the unit (it looks like a light switch and is often on the ceiling joist or wall beside the furnace) and the furnace breaker in your electrical panel. Reset a tripped breaker once only. If it trips again, leave it off and call us.
- Front panel: the furnace has a safety switch behind the lower door. If the door isn't seated firmly, the furnace won't start. Press it closed until it clicks.
- Filter: a clogged filter can make the furnace overheat and shut itself off. If the filter is grey and caked, replace it, then give the system a few minutes to restart.
- Gas supply: make sure the gas valve beside the furnace is in line with the pipe (open), and check whether your gas stove or water heater still works.
- Vents outside: high efficiency furnaces have two white plastic pipes on an outside wall. Clear away leaves, snow or ice from both openings.
- Status light: most furnaces have a small light you can see through a window in the lower door. Write down the blink pattern. It helps our technician bring the right parts.
If none of these brings the heat back, stop there and call 604-343-1985. Tell us what you checked and what the status light is doing.
When to Call Right Away
- You smell gas (a rotten egg smell). Leave the home first, don't flip any switches, and call the FortisBC emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 or 911 from outside. Call us once you're safe.
- Your carbon monoxide alarm goes off. Get everyone outside and call 911.
- The furnace starts, then shuts off again a few minutes later, over and over.
- The fan runs but only cold air comes out of the vents.
- You hear banging, grinding or squealing from the furnace, or you see scorch marks or water around it.
- The breaker trips again after one reset.
- Someone in the home is very young, elderly, unwell, or the house is getting cold enough to put pipes at risk.
In any of these cases, turn the thermostat off and call 604-343-1985. We answer 24/7.
What Our Vancouver Technicians Fix on a No Heat Call
Most no heat calls in Vancouver come down to a handful of parts. Our technicians arrive with the tools to test the whole system, not just swap parts until something works. Common repairs include:
- Failed hot surface igniters and flame sensors
- Blower motors, capacitors and control boards
- Pressure switches, inducer motors and blocked condensate lines
- Gas valves and thermocouples on older standing pilot furnaces
- Thermostat wiring and smart thermostat setup faults
- Limit switch trips caused by airflow or duct problems
We explain what failed, show you the part, and give you the cost in writing before any work starts. If a repair doesn't make sense for your furnace, we'll tell you plainly and walk you through replacement and financing options.

What should I check before I call about no heat?
