What furnace rental includes in Vancouver
When you rent a furnace in Vancouver, your monthly payment bundles the equipment, install, permit fee, inspection, all parts and all labour for the life of the contract. There are no service-call fees, no surprise repair invoices and no 'wear and tear' exclusions.
Because the City of Vancouver pulls every gas permit through its own portal, having a local crew that's already set up with City of Vancouver Building Bylaw (VBBL) 2025 paperwork shaves days off your install timeline.
- 96%+ AFUE high-efficiency furnace, sized to your home
- City of Vancouver gas permit + Technical Safety BC inspection
- Removal and disposal of your old equipment
- Lifetime parts, labour and emergency service
- Annual tune-up included every year you rent
Vancouver furnace rental costs in 2025
A standard 60,000–80,000 BTU rental in Vancouver runs $79–$99/month. A 100,000 BTU two-stage unit for a larger Vancouver Special or Kitsilano character home is $109–$129. Bundling a heat pump or tankless water heater drops the per-unit rate.
Compare that to buying outright — a comparable furnace installed in Vancouver is $6,000–$9,500 once you add the VBBL permit, venting upgrades and disposal. Renters break even in roughly year 8, but never face a $4,000 heat-exchanger replacement bill.
Permits and VBBL 2025 — why local matters
Vancouver is the only municipality in BC that runs its own building bylaw separate from the BC Building Code. VBBL 2025 caps emissions on new gas equipment, which means a swap-in 80% AFUE replacement is no longer permitted in most Vancouver homes — you must install a 96%+ unit, often paired with a heat pump.
We pull the permit through the City of Vancouver gas-permit portal and the inspection is booked with Technical Safety BC. Both fees are included in the rental, never billed separately.
