Burnaby is BC Wide's home city: the company's office is on 6th Street near Edmonds, so furnace calls in Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights, Deer Lake, Buckingham and South Slope are close to base. That matters most on a no-heat evening when travel time decides whether a technician can attend the same day.
Burnaby's housing stock ranges from 1950s bungalows with original ductwork to new laneway and multiplex homes. Older houses often have oversized 80% furnaces vented into a masonry chimney shared with the water heater; replacing them with a condensing furnace means new plastic venting, a condensate drain and, often, attention to the chimney left behind. Newer homes typically already have 95%+ furnaces where the common faults are condensate, pressure-switch and flame-sensor problems rather than heat exchangers.
