Our Emergency Heating Solutions in Burnaby
Every job is handled by TSBC-licensed technicians using quality materials and equipment.
Total Heating System Failure
A complete shutdown of your heating system during cold weather is a top-priority emergency. We dispatch immediately to restore warmth and prevent pipe damage.
Furnace or Boiler Breakdown
When your furnace or boiler fails, temperatures can drop quickly — causing discomfort and safety risks. Immediate action restores warmth and prevents further disruption throughout your home.
Frozen Pipes
Freezing temperatures can cause pipes to freeze and burst, resulting in water damage and heating system issues. We promptly thaw frozen pipes to prevent costly damage and restore proper heating functionality.
Carbon Monoxide Leak
A malfunctioning heating system can release dangerous carbon monoxide gas. If you suspect a CO leak, evacuate immediately and call us — our technicians provide rapid, safe intervention.
No Hot Water
Loss of hot water can disrupt your household or business operations at any time. We diagnose and repair or replace water heaters after hours, any day of the week.
Thermostat & Inadequate Heating
A malfunctioning thermostat prevents proper temperature control, leading to energy inefficiency and discomfort. We resolve thermostat faults and inadequate heating issues on the same visit.
Common Issues in Burnaby
Aging North Burnaby Pipe Systems
Pre-war bungalows in North Burnaby often have galvanized water lines causing low pressure and rust-coloured water. Copper or PEX repipe restores clean, full-pressure water delivery and eliminates the corrosion problem.
Highrise & Strata Plumbing
Metrotown and Brentwood area highrise condos require licensed plumbers familiar with strata building systems — from suite repairs to risers, pressure-balancing valves, and common-area plumbing.
Multi-Family Boiler Maintenance
Burnaby's aging mid-rise rental buildings frequently rely on central boiler systems for heat and hot water. We service, repair, and replace commercial boilers for building managers throughout Burnaby.

Common Questions About Emergency Heating in Burnaby
Who do I call for a heating emergency in Coquitlam at night?
Call Hippo Plumbing & Heating at (604) 365-0812 — any time, day or night. A real licensed heating technician answers every call. We dispatch promptly for no-heat emergencies throughout Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and Burnaby.
What should I do while waiting for an emergency heater repair?
While waiting for our technician: keep interior doors open to share warmth between rooms, use electric space heaters safely (away from curtains and never left unattended), open cabinet doors under sinks to prevent pipe freezing if temperatures drop near zero, and consider staying with nearby family or friends if it's very cold.
How quickly can you reach me for a heating emergency in Port Coquitlam?
Most emergency heating calls in Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, and Port Moody are reached within 30–90 minutes. We prioritize no-heat emergencies with vulnerable occupants (young children, elderly residents) and route our nearest available technician.
My furnace error code shows E1 or similar — what do I do?
Different furnace brands use different error codes. A common E1 error often relates to an ignition failure or pressure switch fault. While waiting for our technician, try turning the furnace off at the thermostat and power switch, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on. If it doesn't restart normally, leave it off and call us.
