New Westminster is one of the region's oldest cities, and it shows in the housing: the 2021 Census counted 36,095 occupied private dwellings, about 41% built before 1981, with many heritage and postwar homes on the hillsides above the Fraser.
New Westminster is not among the municipalities with their own gas inspection, so gas permits come from Technical Safety BC. Hillside lots, tight lots and older mechanical spaces are the norm, which makes the pre-installation assessment more than a formality.
Furnace work here leans to replacement of aging furnaces in older homes: chimney abandonment, new plastic venting, condensate routing, and duct checks for systems that were often modified over decades of additions.

Questions people ask
Who issues the gas permit for a furnace in New Westminster?
Technical Safety BC issues gas installation permits for New Westminster; the contractor applies and books the inspection.
Can a heritage New Westminster home take a modern condensing furnace?
Usually, with planning: venting routes, condensate and duct conditions are confirmed in the assessment, and the furnace itself does not require changes to the heritage fabric beyond the mechanical area.
Do you replace furnaces in New Westminster apartments with individual gas furnaces?
Yes, where the unit has its own gas furnace. Strata rules and access still apply; tell us the building structure when you call.
