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 local details below come from the New Westminster service-area profile and help place this heating service in the context of the city’s homes and neighbourhoods.
New Westminster homes from the 1900s–1940s may have galvanized pipe and cast-iron drainage systems at or well past end of life. We assess and replace these systems safely, with sensitivity to heritage structures and city regulations.
Hot-water radiator boiler systems are common in New Westminster's older housing. We service, repair, and where needed replace these systems — preserving radiant heat comfort with modern efficiency and reliability.
New Westminster's oldest neighbourhoods have clay-tile sewer mains and service laterals that crack, shift, and attract root intrusion. Camera inspection is essential before any drain work in these historically complex areas.
Queen's Park is New Westminster's crown jewel — a neighbourhood of grand heritage homes, many built between 1890 and 1930. Plumbing systems in these homes can be extraordinary in their age: galvanized or even lead supply lines, cast-iron drain stacks, and early fixture configurations that require specialist knowledge to repair or replace sensitively. We treat every Queen's Park home with the respect these historic properties deserve.
Sapperton is one of New Westminster's industrial-heritage residential districts, with a mix of workers' cottages and post-war bungalows. The neighbourhood's clay-tile sewer infrastructure is among the city's oldest and most prone to root intrusion, joint separation, and partial pipe collapse. Camera inspection before any drain work in Sapperton is essential — we've found serious underground issues that saved homeowners from a much larger, reactive repair.
Queensborough sits on Lulu Island and has seen significant residential development since 2000 — newer townhomes and single-family homes on the island's north end. Drainage here requires careful attention due to the low-lying terrain and proximity to the Fraser River. Backflow prevention and proper drain slope are critical in Queensborough, and we assess both whenever we're called for drain service in this area.

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.
