Whether you are replacing an existing furnace or planning a heating system for a renovation or new build, Hippo Plumbing & Heating provides furnace installation in Coquitlam and across the Lower Mainland. We review the home's heating needs, existing equipment and site conditions before discussing suitable equipment and installation scope. Pricing, timing and model availability depend on the assessment and supplier stock.
A furnace replacement may involve reviewing the existing unit, ductwork, venting, gas and electrical connections, and thermostat. Furnace capacity should suit the home and heating system: an oversized unit may cycle frequently, while an undersized unit may struggle to meet demand. The proposed equipment, price and schedule are confirmed after an assessment.
The work included depends on the home and the agreed quote. A project may involve removing the existing furnace, checking or changing ductwork and venting, connecting the selected unit to gas and electrical services, and commissioning it. Confirm whether removal and disposal, thermostat work and any system modifications are included. Technical Safety BC requires permits for licensed contractors installing regulated gas equipment; confirm the applicable permit and who will obtain it before work begins.
Age alone does not determine whether a furnace should be replaced. Condition, safety, repair history, parts availability, comfort and the cost of the proposed work all matter. A qualified assessment can help compare repair and replacement based on the actual fault and the condition of the rest of the system.
Recurring repairs, unusual noises, uneven heating, unexplained changes in energy use, unavailable parts or a safety concern are reasons to have the furnace assessed. These signs do not by themselves establish that replacement is necessary. A technician can inspect the equipment and discuss repair and replacement options; suspected combustion or carbon-monoxide concerns need prompt professional attention.
Furnace sizing should reflect the home's heating load, insulation, windows, layout and ductwork, as well as the requirements of the heating system. Ask how the proposed capacity was selected and whether a heat-load calculation is appropriate for the property. Venting, gas and electrical connections, permit requirements, equipment availability and commissioning are part of planning the scope. Price and schedule are confirmed after assessment.
Before approving a project, ask for the proposed equipment and capacity, the work included for ductwork and venting, permit responsibilities, commissioning details, and any removal or disposal charges. Rebates depend on current program rules and individual eligibility; check those rules before purchasing equipment.

Our Guarantee
Every job is handled by TSBC-licensed technicians using quality materials and equipment.
We review the existing furnace, heating needs, ductwork, venting and site conditions. Recommendations and any proposed changes depend on what the assessment finds.
Work may involve connections to ductwork, gas piping, electrical supply or a thermostat, depending on the selected equipment and existing system. The quote should identify the agreed work.
Ask what commissioning checks, operating instructions and equipment documents are included in the proposed installation scope.
Compare furnace efficiency ratings alongside equipment cost and expected use. Actual energy use depends on the home, settings, weather and utility rates; rebate programs and eligibility vary, so check current rules before purchase.
Compare available models by capacity, efficiency, warranty terms and parts support. Brand and model availability depends on current supplier stock.
Existing ductwork, venting and thermostat compatibility can affect the work required. Any proposed repairs, upgrades or controls should be included in the assessment and quote.
Price depends on the equipment, access, venting, connections and any ductwork or other changes needed. We confirm the quote after assessing the home and installation scope. Ask for the proposed equipment, inclusions and any optional work to be listed before approving the project. Call (604) 365-0812 to arrange an assessment.
Timing depends on equipment availability, access, venting and connection work, and the overall scope. We confirm the expected schedule after assessment and equipment arrangements, and discuss any changes if additional work is needed.
Compare furnace capacity, efficiency, warranty terms, service and parts support, and the total installed quote rather than choosing by brand name alone. The makes and models available depend on current supplier stock; options can be discussed after reviewing your home and requirements.
A higher-efficiency model may use less fuel under comparable conditions, but actual consumption and costs depend on the home, weather, settings, equipment and utility rates. Rebates vary by program and eligibility; check current program rules before purchase.
