Metrotown is Burnaby’s densest and most urban area — a hub of residential high-rises, commercial towers, and the largest shopping complex in BC. HeatLand serves both individual suite owners and building management teams across the Metrotown area.
HVAC in Metrotown Buildings and Homes
The Metrotown area is dominated by mid-rise and high-rise residential strata buildings, ranging from 1980s rental and condo apartments to the newer concrete towers that have risen steadily over the past decade. Older Metrotown buildings often have aging hydronic heating systems or original forced-air systems that require ongoing maintenance. Newer towers have more modern central plant equipment and individual suite HRV and fan coil systems.
HeatLand provides HVAC services throughout Metrotown: individual suite ductless heat pump installations (where strata permits), duct cleaning, HRV service, gas fireplace maintenance, and hot water system replacement. We also work with building managers and strata councils for common-area HVAC maintenance. For the smaller number of detached homes in the broader Metrotown area, we provide the full range of residential HVAC services.
Heating and Cooling Services in Metrotown
HeatLand provides the full range of residential HVAC services in Metrotown: furnace repair and replacement, heat pump installation, boiler maintenance, gas fireplace service, hot water tank replacement, central air conditioning, indoor air quality, and duct cleaning. Our licensed technicians are familiar with the housing stock across Metrotown — from original gravity-fed systems in character homes to the fan coil units common in newer strata buildings.
Furnace Repair and Replacement in Metrotown
Whether your furnace has stopped heating, is short-cycling, or is making an unfamiliar sound, HeatLand’s licensed gas technicians diagnose the problem and give you an honest assessment. For Metrotown homeowners dealing with an aging furnace, we also provide complete replacement — including high-efficiency two-stage and modulating gas furnaces that deliver more consistent comfort and lower fuel bills. When replacing a furnace in an older home, we assess the existing ductwork and make any corrections needed for proper airflow.

Heat Pump Installation and Repair in Metrotown
Heat pumps are increasingly popular in Metrotown — providing both efficient heating and cooling from a single system. HeatLand installs ductless mini-split heat pumps (ideal for homes without existing ductwork), multi-zone systems for larger homes, and ducted central heat pump systems for homes that already have air distribution. We also service and repair all major brands of heat pump. BC’s CleanBC and FortisBC rebate programs make heat pump installation more accessible — HeatLand confirms your eligibility before installation and handles rebate documentation.

Boiler Service and Repair in Metrotown
Hydronic boiler systems are common in older Metrotown homes, providing comfortable radiant heat through baseboard convectors or radiators. HeatLand services and repairs all major boiler brands — gas, combi, and hot water — including annual maintenance, pressure relief valve testing, pump replacement, expansion tank service, and zone valve repair. If your boiler is beyond economical repair, we provide boiler replacement with properly sized modern units that maintain the comfort of hydronic heating.

Gas Fireplace Service in Metrotown
A gas fireplace adds warmth and ambience to any Metrotown home, but requires annual servicing to maintain safe and efficient operation. HeatLand provides gas fireplace cleaning, inspection, pilot light service, thermocouple and thermopile replacement, gas valve service, and glass cleaning. We service all major gas fireplace brands. Note: we do not install or service wood-burning fireplaces or pellet stoves.

Hot Water Tank Replacement in Metrotown
When your hot water tank in Metrotown fails or approaches the end of its service life, HeatLand provides prompt replacement with a range of options: conventional electric and natural gas tanks, tankless on-demand water heaters, and heat pump water heaters (which qualify for FortisBC rebates). We handle all plumbing connections, permits, and disposal of the old unit. Most residential hot water tank replacements are completed in a single visit.

Air Conditioning Service in Metrotown
Greater Vancouver’s increasingly warm summers have made cooling a priority for homeowners in Metrotown. HeatLand installs ductless mini-split air conditioning units (the most popular cooling option for homes without existing duct systems), central air conditioning for homes with existing furnace and ductwork, and multi-zone systems for larger properties. We also service and repair existing AC systems — refrigerant checks, coil cleaning, filter service, and thermostat calibration.

Indoor Air Quality and Duct Cleaning in Metrotown
Indoor air quality matters year-round in Metrotown. HeatLand provides professional duct cleaning services, which remove years of dust, allergens, and debris from your air distribution system. We also service and replace air filtration systems, install UV air purifiers, provide HRV (heat recovery ventilator) service, and advise on whole-home humidification. Duct cleaning is especially beneficial in older Metrotown homes that have accumulated decades of particulate in their ductwork.
