Furnace Installation & Repair
Professional gas furnace installation, repair, and annual tune-ups from licensed HVAC technicians. Keep your North Vancouver home warm and energy-efficient all winter long.
Gas Furnace Services for BC's Demanding Winters
When North Vancouver's coastal winters hit — bringing damp cold, freezing rain, and temperatures that plunge below zero on the North Shore mountains — your furnace is the one appliance you absolutely cannot afford to have fail.
Gas furnaces remain the most common heating system across the Lower Mainland, and for good reason. Natural gas is abundant in British Columbia, FortisBC provides reliable delivery, and modern high-efficiency furnaces convert up to 98% of fuel into usable heat. Whether your home in Deep Cove has a reliable workhorse that just needs a tune-up, or your Edgemont Village home is ready for a complete system upgrade, Lord Mechanical has the expertise to handle it.
Our licensed HVAC technicians are factory-trained on all major furnace brands including Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Daikin, and Rheem. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks, meaning most repairs are completed in a single visit — no waiting days for parts while your family shivers through a North Shore cold snap.

Why Annual Furnace Maintenance Matters
Your furnace works hard during North Vancouver's long heating season — often running six to eight months per year. Without regular maintenance, small problems compound into costly breakdowns, efficiency drops steadily, and safety risks increase.
An annual tune-up from Lord Mechanical isn't just about preventing breakdowns. It's about protecting your family from carbon monoxide risks, maintaining your manufacturer's warranty, and keeping your energy bills as low as possible.

- Maintain manufacturer's warranty coverage
- Prevent 85% of emergency breakdowns
Signs Your Furnace Needs Attention
Don't ignore these red flags — catching furnace problems early saves money and keeps your family safe.
Unusual Noises
Banging, popping, rattling, or squealing noises from your furnace indicate problems ranging from loose components and dirty burners to a failing blower motor or cracked heat exchanger.
Uneven Heating
Hot and cold spots throughout your home can signal ductwork issues, a failing blower motor, or a furnace that's improperly sized. Some rooms freezing while others overheat is never normal.
Frequent Cycling
Short cycling — where your furnace turns on and off repeatedly without completing a full heating cycle — usually indicates an oversized unit, clogged filter, thermostat malfunction, or overheating issue.
Rising Gas Bills
If your FortisBC gas bills are climbing without a change in usage, your furnace is likely losing efficiency. Dirty burners, a worn heat exchanger, or failing components reduce fuel-to-heat conversion.
Yellow Burner Flame
A healthy furnace flame should be steady and blue. A yellow or flickering flame indicates incomplete combustion and potential carbon monoxide production — call for service immediately.
Excess Dust or Dry Air
A furnace that isn't properly filtering air will circulate dust, allergens, and debris throughout your home. Excessive dryness can also indicate airflow problems or a failing humidifier component.

Furnace Service FAQ
A well-maintained gas furnace typically lasts 15–20 years. However, furnaces older than 15 years often operate at significantly reduced efficiency compared to modern units. If your furnace is approaching this age, it may be more cost-effective to replace it with a high-efficiency model rated at 96%+ AFUE, especially with available FortisBC and BC Hydro rebates.
We recommend annual furnace maintenance, ideally in early fall before the heating season begins. Annual tune-ups ensure your furnace runs safely and efficiently, catch small issues before they become expensive repairs, and maintain your manufacturer's warranty. Homes with pets or allergy sufferers should also change filters every 1–3 months between professional service appointments.
A furnace blowing cold air can be caused by several issues: a dirty or clogged air filter restricting airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, a faulty igniter or flame sensor, a tripped high-limit switch due to overheating, or ductwork problems. Start by checking your filter and thermostat settings, then call us at (604) 670-3737 if the problem persists.
A new gas furnace installation in North Vancouver typically costs between $4,500 and $8,000 depending on the model, efficiency rating, and complexity of the installation. High-efficiency models (96%+ AFUE) cost more upfront but save significantly on energy bills over their 15–20 year lifespan. We provide free, no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
For North Vancouver's climate, we recommend furnaces with at least 96% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). This means 96 cents of every dollar spent on gas goes directly to heating your home. High-efficiency condensing furnaces extract additional heat from exhaust gases that older 80% AFUE models waste. The upfront cost difference pays for itself within 3–5 years in energy savings.
