NORTH VANCOUVER, BC — HVAC CONTRACTOR
Kirkstone Heating and Cooling has serviced, repaired and installed furnaces, heat pumps, fireplaces, water heaters and plumbing across the North Shore since 1996 — up-front pricing, no hidden costs, and no payment until you're fully satisfied.
SCROLL
THE SHOP
When you call Kirkstone, you talk to people who do the work. Our technicians are fully licensed and FortisBC certified, and every visit follows the same plain rulebook: diagnose honestly, quote up front, fix it once, and back it with a 1-year extended warranty on all heating repairs. If the fix isn't right, you don't pay until it is — that's the "no payment until fully satisfied" promise the shop has kept since 1996.
WHAT WE DO
Every service line comes in three tiers — servicing keeps it running, repair fixes what's broken, install replaces it right. Same crew, same warranty logic, same up-front price.
Gas furnaces are still the backbone of North Shore heating. We keep yours safe and efficient — or size its replacement honestly when the heat exchanger has had enough.
Coastal winters are heat-pump weather. We service and install cold-climate systems that sip electricity through the mild months and hand off cleanly when it gets serious.
A gas fireplace should light the first time, every time. Annual servicing keeps the glass clear, the pilot steady and the carbon monoxide where it belongs — outside.
Hot water is one of those things you only notice when it's gone. We keep tanks alive longer and install tankless units for homes done with running out.
Heating and plumbing share walls, water and gas lines — one crew that understands both saves you the finger-pointing between trades.
HOW IT WORKS
Describe the problem — the noise, the cold room, the dead pilot. We'll ask the right questions and book a visit that suits your day.
A licensed technician inspects the system, finds the actual fault, and explains it in plain language before touching a wrench.
One up-front number before any work starts. No hidden costs, no "while we're in there" upsells without your say-so.
The job is done when you're warm and happy with it. No payment until you're fully satisfied — that's the deal.
Owner-occupied houses, townhomes and condos across the Lower Mainland. Furnace tune-ups before the first cold snap, fireplace servicing before the holidays, and honest advice when a repair stops making sense.
Small commercial spaces, rental suites and strata buildings that can't afford a no-heat morning. Scheduled maintenance plans keep common systems legal, safe and documented.
When the furnace quits on a cold night, waiting isn't an option. Call and we'll prioritize no-heat calls — a real person answers, and a technician gets rolling.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Yes — get it looked at. Banging, screeching or rattling usually means something is loose, worn or overheating, and furnaces rarely fix themselves. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility first. Otherwise, book a diagnostic visit: you'll get an up-front price before we do anything.
It depends on your house, not on trends. Coastal BC winters are mild enough that a cold-climate heat pump handles most of the season efficiently; many homes pair one with a furnace for the coldest snaps. We'll look at your insulation, ductwork and bills, then recommend what fits — including telling you when your current system is fine as-is.
Once a year. Annual servicing keeps the glass clear, the pilot reliable and the venting safe — carbon monoxide is the part you can't see or smell. Late summer or early fall is the ideal window, before you actually need it.
Yes — one full year. Every heating repair we do includes a 1-year extended warranty on the work. If the same fault comes back within the year, we make it right.
You know the price before we start. After diagnosis you get one up-front number — no hidden costs buried in the invoice. And you don't pay until you're fully satisfied with the finished job.
