Point Grey’s mix of heritage character homes and contemporary luxury builds brings a wide range of HVAC needs — from aging boiler systems in original cottages to high-efficiency heat pump installations in newly renovated properties.
HVAC in Point Grey Homes
Point Grey is one of Vancouver’s most desirable west-side neighbourhoods, anchored by UBC and overlooking the Strait of Georgia. The neighbourhood is defined by mature tree-lined streets and a housing stock that ranges from 1920s character homes — many still on their original heating systems or early-generation gas furnaces — to modern luxury rebuilds with sophisticated mechanical systems.
Homeowners in Point Grey typically have high expectations for both the quality of the work and the reliability of the service. HeatLand’s licensed technicians are experienced working in these homes: understanding the challenges of adding cooling to a heritage property, servicing a high-efficiency boiler in a newly renovated home, or recommending the right heat pump system for a property with view constraints on equipment placement.

Furnace Repair and Replacement in Point Grey
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 Point Grey 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.

Heat Pump Installation and Repair in Point Grey
Heat pumps are increasingly popular in Point Grey — 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 Point Grey
Hydronic boiler systems are common in older Point Grey 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 Point Grey
A gas fireplace adds warmth and ambience to any Point Grey 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.

For homes where outdoor unit placement is constrained by view lines or lot positioning, we work with compact and low-profile outdoor units from leading manufacturers. We also consider noise levels for units placed near outdoor living areas. HeatLand provides a site assessment before recommending any system.
