What's the best heating system in Richmond?
For Richmond, the best system is a sealed-combustion 96%+ AFUE gas furnace with a marine-grade heat pump — Richmond sits 1m above sea level on a river delta, so salt air and ground moisture corrode standard equipment 2x faster than in inland cities. Always elevate the condensate line above flood-construction level.
Richmond climate & geography
Why local conditions change what we install.
Richmond is built on a Fraser River delta — most of the city sits at or below 1m elevation, with high water tables and salt-influenced air from the Strait of Georgia. This combination is brutal on HVAC equipment: standard galvanized cabinets rust in 6–8 years, copper coils pit, and crawl-space units flood. We exclusively install sealed-combustion units with stainless or aluminum cabinets, route condensate above flood-construction level (per Richmond bylaw), and use marine-spec outdoor coils.
