Heat Pump Installation in Vancouver

Absolutely. We handle all permit applications for Vancouver renovation projects, including electrical, plumbing, and structural permits. Our team is experienced with City of Vancouver building codes, heritage regulations, and strata requirements. We manage the entire permitting process so you can focus on choosing your finishes while we ensure full compliance.

Kitchen renovations in Vancouver range from $14,000 for a basic refresh to $72,000 for a premium custom kitchen with high-end appliances. A mid-range renovation with quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and updated lighting typically costs $25,000–$40,000. We provide free written quotes with detailed line items so you know exactly what you are paying for.

We serve all Vancouver neighbourhoods including Downtown, Yaletown, Coal Harbour, West End, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Fairview, Kerrisdale, Dunbar, Point Grey, Marpole, Oakridge, South Cambie, East Vancouver, and more. We also handle condo renovations in high-rise buildings throughout the city with full strata coordination.

Timeline depends on the project scope: a bathroom renovation takes 2–4 weeks, a kitchen renovation 3–6 weeks, and a full basement suite 6–10 weeks. Condo renovations may take slightly longer due to strata-mandated construction hours (typically 8am–5pm weekdays). We provide a detailed project schedule before work begins.

Yes. Many Vancouver homes — especially in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, and Dunbar — have plaster walls and older framing. Our team has extensive experience with pre-war and mid-century homes, including proper demo of lath-and-plaster, structural assessment, and modern finishing while respecting original character.

Absolutely. We work within strata bylaws regularly across Vancouver — from Coal Harbour towers to Fairview walk-ups. We handle strata approval submissions, coordinate building access and elevator bookings, respect quiet hours, and manage noise and dust containment. We carry $5M liability insurance which most stratas require.

BC Hydro offers up to $3,000 for heat pump installations, the federal Greener Homes Grant adds up to $5,000, and income-qualified low-income households can stack an additional $3,000 BC Hydro top-up — combined potential up to $11,000. Eligibility depends on home energy audit results and income. We help with the paperwork.

Modern cold-climate heat pumps maintain full heating capacity down to -25°C — well below Vancouver winter lows. We size the system based on your home's heat loss calculation, not just square footage. For homes that lose heat fast (poor insulation, lots of glazing), we add backup heat for the coldest 5-10 days per year.

Yes — this is called a dual-fuel or hybrid setup. The heat pump runs as the primary heat source and the gas furnace kicks in only on the coldest days. It costs more upfront but avoids the carbon-tax penalty on most heating days while keeping a backup. We recommend dual-fuel for homes that already have a working gas furnace.
