Our Service Process
We've handled thousands of boiler jobs across Greater Vancouver since 1999. Our process is built on a simple promise: you always know what's happening, what it costs, and why we're doing it.
Installation & replacement process
Typical timeline: 1–2 weeks from first call to final commissioning.
1. Call or book online
Talk to a real person at our Burnaby office. We ask about your current setup, symptoms, BTU load if known, and your timeline.
2. Free in-home assessment
A senior tech visits, performs a heat-loss calculation, inspects gas piping and venting, and discusses brand options. No pressure, no obligation.
3. Written quote
You get an itemized written quote — labour, equipment, permit, removal, commissioning. No verbal estimates, no surprises.
4. Permit pulled
We pull a Technical Safety BC gas permit before any work begins. Permit number provided to you in writing.
5. Install day
Old unit removed and disposed. New unit installed to code. Gas piping, venting, hydronic loops, and electrical all completed by licensed trades.
6. Commissioning
Combustion analysis, pressure tests, outdoor reset programming, system purge, leak check, and full functional run. Documented in writing.
7. Walk-through
Live walk-through with the homeowner — how to read the display, when to call us, what maintenance looks like, where the isolation valves are.
8. Warranty registration + follow-up
We register the manufacturer warranty in your name, send digital copies of permits and documents, and call to check in at 30 days.
Repair process
Typical timeline: same-day to 48 hours.
1. Diagnostic call
You describe the symptoms — no heat, leak, error code, noise. We ask the right questions to bring the right parts.
2. Same-day or next-day appointment
Most repair appointments booked the same day. Same-day & after-hours emergency dispatch available.
3. On-site diagnosis
Full system check, combustion analysis if relevant, error code interpretation, parts identified.
4. Written quote before repair
You see a written quote — parts, labour, total — and sign off before we proceed. No work without your approval.
5. Repair
Most common parts on the truck. Major parts ordered same-day with rush shipping when possible.
6. Test + verify
Full re-test of the repaired system, including combustion and pressure checks.
7. 90-day workmanship warranty
Every repair carries a 90-day workmanship warranty. If the same issue recurs, we come back free.
