Choosing an HVAC Contractor in Chilliwack
In BC, gas and propane work must be done by a certified gas fitter, and most of it needs a permit through Technical Safety BC. A little checking before you sign avoids problems later.
Request an HVAC technicianGas certification
Ask to see the gas fitter's certification and the company's licence for gas work.
Permits
Ask who takes out the permit and when any inspection will happen.
Electrical work
New circuits or panel upgrades should be done by a licensed electrical contractor.
Insurance
Confirm liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage.
Sizing
The contractor should size equipment for your house, ideally with a heat loss and gain calculation.
Written quote
Equipment, model numbers, efficiency, venting, electrical work and warranty terms.
Rural experience
For farms and acreages, ask about experience with propane, oil and outbuildings.
Red flags
High-pressure sales, cash-only offers or large deposits up front.
After the job
Keep the permit, invoice, manuals and warranty registration together.

Questions to ask
How long has the company worked in the eastern Fraser Valley? Who will do the installation? How are winter emergencies handled?
Payment
Agree on a payment schedule in writing and avoid paying in full before the work is done.
Workmanship warranty
Ask how long the contractor stands behind the installation itself, separate from the manufacturer's equipment warranty, and what's covered.
Rebate paperwork
If you're applying for a rebate, ask who handles the paperwork and what records you need to keep.
Compare like with like
When quotes differ a lot, check that each covers the same equipment, electrical work, permits and warranty before comparing prices.
Service after the sale
Ask how warranty calls and winter breakdowns are handled and how quickly the company responds during cold snaps.
