Question 1

Do you service boilers in Ladner, North Delta, and Tsawwassen?

Yes. We cover all three Delta communities. North Delta is a seamless extension of our Surrey territory, and Ladner and Tsawwassen are within our regular service radius.

Question 2

Do you do boiler work near the Tsawwassen ferry terminal area?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We cover the Tsawwassen area including the newer development near Tsawwassen Mills and homes in the established Tsawwassen residential areas.

Question 3

My older Ladner home has the original boiler. Can you replace it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ladner's older homes are a regular part of our work. We assess older equipment and can do a full replacement including permits and inspection coordination.

Question 4

How much does it cost to install a new boiler in Canada?

Accepted Answer

In Canada, a residential boiler installation typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 installed. Most Surrey homes land between $5,500 and $8,500 for a quality, properly sized unit. The boiler itself costs $2,000 to $6,000 depending on brand, type, and efficiency rating. Labour is typically $1,500 to $3,000 for a straightforward swap on an existing system, and more if you need new gas lines, zone upgrades, or an oil-to-gas conversion. High-efficiency condensing boilers (90 to 95% AFUE) cost more upfront but qualify for FortisBC and CleanBC Better Homes rebates of $500 to $1,500 or more. Make sure any quote you get covers parts, labour, permits, and the BC Safety Authority inspection — those costs shouldn't be surprises.

Question 5

How much is a boiler for a 1,500 square foot house?

Accepted Answer

For a 1,500 sq ft home in Surrey, you're typically looking at a boiler in the 60,000 to 80,000 BTU/hr range. The right size depends on your insulation, window area, ceiling height, and number of zones, so sizing should always come from a proper heat loss calculation, not a guess. The unit itself runs $2,000 to $4,500 for a good mid-range model from Navien, Rinnai, or Viessmann. Installed with permits, budget $5,000 to $8,000 for a complete job. If you want a combi boiler that also replaces your hot water tank, plan toward the higher end of that range. Oversizing causes short-cycling, which wastes gas and shortens the boiler's life. Undersizing means it runs flat-out and still can't keep up on cold days.

Question 6

Is it worth replacing a 20 year old boiler?

Accepted Answer

Almost always yes. A boiler from the early 2000s is likely running at 70 to 80% AFUE. A modern condensing boiler runs at 90 to 95%. On a typical Surrey gas bill, that efficiency gap saves $300 to $600 per year. Parts for 20-year-old units are increasingly hard to source and expensive. Heat exchangers at that age carry a real risk of cracking, which is a carbon monoxide concern. A new boiler comes with a 10 to 15 year manufacturer's warranty, so you're getting a decade or more of covered equipment. FortisBC and CleanBC rebates can knock $500 to $1,500 off the installed cost of a qualifying high-efficiency unit. The only exception: a well-maintained premium unit that a technician can confirm still has meaningful life left. Call us and we'll give you an honest read.

Question 7

How often should I service my boiler in Surrey?

Accepted Answer

Once a year, before the heating season starts in late September or early October. Annual servicing is the single best thing you can do to extend your boiler's life and catch problems before they become expensive failures. Most manufacturers require it to keep the warranty valid. During a service we clean the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, check the flue for CO risk, test all safety controls, verify operating pressures, and top up the system if needed. It's typically an hour-long visit that costs far less than a single repair call.
