Ask before you hire

01What's the CleanBC rebate path for this system, and do you handle the paperwork?
02Is the quote for a like-for-like replacement or a capacity re-sizing?
03What's the labour warranty vs. the manufacturer's parts warranty?
04Are you a registered CleanBC Program Administrator installer?

Red flags to watch for

High-pressure sales tactics claiming an immediate furnace-replacement emergency.
Quote without a Manual J heat-load calculation for a new install — sizing by square footage alone is how homes end up over- or under-heated.
No mention of combustion-air or venting assessment on a fuel-fired replacement.

Permits & licensing

Gas-fired furnaces and water heaters require a Technical Safety BC gas permit pulled by a licensed gas fitter (Class A or B). Heat pumps without a fuel component typically don't need a TSBC permit but may still need electrical and municipal permits.

When to book

Book furnace tune-ups in September–October before the first cold snap — technicians are stretched thin once temperatures drop. AC and heat-pump installs are easiest to schedule in April–May.
