Quick answer

What's the best heating system in Vancouver?

For most detached homes in Vancouver, a cold-climate heat pump paired with a 96%+ AFUE gas furnace as backup is the best heating system in 2025 — it cuts heating bills 30–50%, adds AC for summer heat domes, and meets the City of Vancouver's VBBL 2025 carbon limits without ripping out your gas line.

Vancouver climate & geography

Why local conditions change what we install.

Vancouver's housing stock is a mix of pre-1940 character homes, 1960s–80s bungalows and post-2010 laneway/duplex infill. Most homes still run on natural gas furnaces, but the City of Vancouver Building Bylaw (VBBL) 2025 caps emissions on new equipment, pushing replacements toward hybrid heat-pump systems. Older Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant homes often have undersized ductwork that we re-engineer at install — included in the rental.

Common Vancouver home types we install in

  • Pre-1940 character homes
  • Vancouver Specials (1965–85)
  • Modern infill duplexes
  • Laneway houses
  • Mount Pleasant townhomes
