Our Furnace Repair Solutions in Coquitlam
Every job is handled by TSBC-licensed technicians using quality materials and equipment.
Lack of Maintenance
Insufficient or irregular maintenance leads to dust and debris accumulation in furnace components, reducing efficiency and causing breakdowns. Regular tune-ups prevent these costly failures.
Ignition & Pilot Problems
Faulty ignition systems, malfunctioning pilot lights, or thermocouple issues can prevent the furnace from igniting. We diagnose and replace hot surface igniters, flame sensors, and pilot assemblies.
Thermostat Malfunctions
Problems with the thermostat — incorrect settings, calibration issues, or dead batteries — can disrupt furnace operation. We diagnose and repair or replace faulty thermostats.
Clogged Air Filters
Dirty or clogged air filters restrict airflow, causing the furnace to overheat and shut down for safety. We inspect, advise, and address filter-related failures as part of every repair call.
Heat Exchanger Inspection
A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk — we inspect carefully and provide honest, straightforward advice on whether repair or replacement is the right choice.
Furnace Maintenance Service
Regular furnace maintenance — cleaning, inspecting, and tuning up your system — extends lifespan, improves energy efficiency, and prevents costly winter breakdowns. Book your annual tune-up today.
Common Issues in Coquitlam
Poly-B Pipe Failure
Thousands of Coquitlam homes built before 1995 have polybutylene piping. These grey plastic pipes are prone to sudden failure and may affect your home insurance. We specialize in Poly-B assessment and full replacement throughout Coquitlam.
Tree Root Sewer Intrusion
Coquitlam's mature neighbourhoods have well-established trees whose roots routinely find their way into aging sewer lines. Camera inspection confirms the cause; hydro-jetting removes the intrusion and restores full flow.
Townhouse & Strata Heating Systems
Westwood Plateau and other Coquitlam strata communities have shared boiler and hydronic heating systems. Our technicians service all makes and models found in Coquitlam's townhome market, coordinating with strata councils when needed.

Common Questions About Furnace Repair in Coquitlam
Why is my furnace not producing heat in Coquitlam?
Common causes of no heat include a failed hot surface ignitor, a dirty or failing flame sensor, a tripped limit switch, a blocked condensate drain, a faulty gas valve, or a control board error. Check that your thermostat is set to Heat and the set temperature is above room temperature, then call us at (604) 365-0812 if the furnace still won't fire.
How much does furnace repair cost in Coquitlam?
Furnace repair costs in Coquitlam range from $150–$600+ depending on the failed component. An ignitor replacement is typically $200–$350 all-in. A control board or gas valve replacement will cost more. We always provide upfront pricing before any repair work begins.
Should I repair or replace my furnace in Coquitlam?
A general guideline: if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the cost of a new furnace, and your furnace is over 15 years old, replacement is usually the smarter investment. We'll give you the honest numbers for both options and let you decide — we don't push unnecessary replacements.
What does it mean when my furnace is short-cycling?
Short cycling — when your furnace turns on and off rapidly without completing a full heating cycle — is usually caused by an overheating issue (often a dirty air filter or blocked vents), a failing flame sensor, or a heat exchanger problem. Start by replacing your air filter. If short cycling continues, call us for a diagnosis.
