Keep Your Burnaby Home Warm and Efficient All Winter Long
Ark Plumbing & Heating provides professional heating installation and repair services across every Burnaby neighbourhood. Burnaby's winters are long, wet, and consistently cold, with temperatures that hover near freezing from November through March and damp conditions that make homes feel colder than the numbers suggest. The city's varied topography adds another layer. Higher elevation neighbourhoods like Capitol Hill, Burnaby Mountain, and Simon Fraser Hills experience colder overnight lows, more frost, and occasional snow accumulation that demands even more from heating systems than lower-lying parts of the city. Your furnace, heat pump, boiler, or radiant system runs hard for five to six months of the year, and when it's not performing properly, the impact on your comfort, energy bills, and household safety is immediate.
Burnaby's housing stock spans nearly a century, and the heating systems inside those homes are just as varied. Post-war bungalows in Willingdon Heights and Vancouver Heights may still be running original mid-efficiency furnaces with ductwork that was never designed for today's high-efficiency equipment. Family homes in Parkcrest, Deer Lake, and Buckingham Heights from the 1960s and 1970s often have systems that have been replaced at least once but are now approaching the end of their second lifecycle. Properties in Cariboo, Forest Hills, and parts of Edmonds from the 1980s and 1990s are reaching the age where major components begin to fail with increasing frequency. Newer townhomes and condos across Brentwood, Metrotown, and Lougheed come with compact condensing furnaces or heat pump systems that require specific maintenance to perform properly over time. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work across this range. Our licensed technicians take the time to understand your home's layout, insulation, ductwork, and heating load before recommending any work, whether that's a brand-new installation, a system upgrade, or a fast repair to restore heat.

Our Heating Services for Burnaby Homes
New Heating System Installation & Upgrades
Choosing the right heating system is a decision that affects your comfort and energy costs for the next 15 to 20 years. In Burnaby, where homes range from compact Edmonds bungalows and Metrotown condos to sprawling Deer Lake and Buckingham Heights properties with multiple heating zones, the right system looks very different from one home to the next. Our licensed technicians help you navigate the options, including high-efficiency furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, hybrid systems, and radiant in-floor heating, and recommend the best fit based on your home's square footage, insulation levels, existing ductwork, and budget.
We handle every step from detailed heat load calculations and equipment selection to full installation, testing, and final inspection, ensuring your new system meets all current BC building codes and manufacturer specifications. For Burnaby homeowners replacing an older furnace in a Heights bungalow or Parkcrest rancher, we also assess your existing ductwork for leaks, sizing issues, and restrictions that could undermine the performance of new equipment. Installing a high-efficiency furnace without addressing ductwork problems is one of the most common and costly mistakes we see, and it leaves homeowners paying for efficiency they never actually receive. For homeowners considering heat pumps, Burnaby's climate is well suited to heat pump performance for much of the heating season, and we help you understand the realistic capabilities and limitations based on your home's specific conditions. We also help Burnaby homeowners take advantage of available BC rebate and incentive programs for high-efficiency equipment, including heat pump rebates that can significantly offset the upfront cost of installation.
Heating Repair & Emergency Service
A heating breakdown during a Burnaby winter is not something that can wait, especially in higher elevation neighbourhoods like Capitol Hill, Burnaby Mountain, and Simon Fraser Hills where overnight temperatures drop lower and homes cool down faster without active heating. Whether your furnace won't ignite, your heat pump is blowing cold air, your boiler is losing pressure, or your radiant system has developed a leak, our technicians respond quickly to diagnose the issue and get your heat restored.
We work on all major brands and system types found across Burnaby. Aging mid-efficiency furnaces in Heights bungalows and Parkcrest ranchers. Two-stage systems in established Deer Lake and Buckingham Heights family homes. Single-stage units in Edmonds and Cariboo split-levels. Variable-speed condensing furnaces in newer Brentwood, Metrotown, and Lougheed townhomes and condos. Boiler systems in custom homes and older properties with hydronic heating. Heat pumps in newer builds and retrofit installations across the city. Each system has its own common failure points, and our team knows what to look for based on the age, brand, and configuration of your unit. We carry commonly needed parts on our service vehicles and aim to complete most repairs in a single visit. Our approach is to find the root cause, explain your options clearly, and deliver a repair that holds up. If your system is beyond economical repair, we give you an honest assessment and walk you through replacement options with no pressure.
Seasonal Maintenance & Performance Optimization
The best way to deal with a heating problem is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Our seasonal maintenance service is designed for Burnaby homeowners who want their system running at peak performance when it matters most, not hoping it survives another winter on borrowed time. We inspect and clean all critical components, check electrical connections, test safety controls, assess airflow and combustion efficiency, and identify parts showing early signs of wear before they fail.
For furnace owners, we examine heat exchangers for cracks, clean burners, test ignition systems, and inspect condensate drain lines on high-efficiency units. Burnaby's wet climate and elevated humidity, particularly in lower-lying areas near Burnaby Lake, Still Creek, and the Big Bend, accelerate wear on flame sensors, ignition components, and electrical connections faster than in drier environments, making annual maintenance especially important. For heat pump owners, which are becoming increasingly common across Burnaby's newer developments and as retrofits in older homes, we check refrigerant levels, clean indoor and outdoor coils, and verify defrost cycles are operating correctly, all critical for maintaining output during the cold, damp months when heat pumps work their hardest. For homes running boiler or radiant systems, we inspect expansion tanks, circulator pumps, zone valves, and pressure relief components to ensure even heat distribution throughout the home. We recommend scheduling a tune-up every fall so your system is inspected and optimized before the first cold stretch settles over Burnaby.
