What Happens During a Furnace Installation?

Installing a furnace is more than just dropping in a new unit. It’s a full system upgrade. Here’s what a typical furnace installation includes:

Helping you choose the right size and type of furnace
Ensuring city permits and inspections are handled
Safely removing the old system
Installing and connecting ducts, vents, and fuel lines
Testing the new system to make sure everything runs smoothly

In Coquitlam, homes can vary a lot in age and layout — from older houses in Austin Heights to new builds in Burke Mountain. That’s why a personalized approach is so important.

Local Climate Considerations

Coquitlam gets a lot of cold, wet weather between November and March. The damp air can make your home feel colder than the thermometer says. That’s why:

Your furnace needs to be powerful enough for chilly nights
Proper ventilation and humidity control help keep indoor air comfortable
Energy-efficient models save you money over time with long heating seasons

If your home is in a lower-lying area like Mundy Park or Central Coquitlam, moisture buildup is more common — so make sure your heating system is paired with good airflow and filtration.

Step-by-Step - Furnace Installation in Coquitlam

Home Assessment

A professional will look at your home’s size, insulation, number of floors, and layout to calculate what furnace size you need. This helps avoid over- or under-heating.

Choosing a Furnace

Natural gas furnaces are most common in Coquitlam
Electric options may be used in smaller homes or as backups
ENERGY STAR® models are highly recommended

Permits & City Code Compliance

The City of Coquitlam requires permits for HVAC installations involving gas or major electrical work. Your installer should take care of this and schedule any required inspections.

Removing the Old System

Your existing furnace (if any) will be safely disconnected and disposed of. This includes vent pipes, fuel lines, and wiring.

Installing the New Furnace

The new system is carefully installed, ductwork is adjusted, and everything is connected securely to gas, electric, and ventilation systems.

Testing & Adjustments

The technician will test the unit, thermostat, safety sensors, and airflow. They’ll also walk you through how to use and maintain your new system.

Hired Centrum Solutions to diagnose and fix our broken heat pump. Amir was very courteous and thorough, and took the time needed to explain everything. Would hire them again!

We first contacted Centrum back in the winter inquiring about the heat pump. Amir was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it came to choosing the right system for our home. We ended up reaching out again in April and getting the heat pump installed at the end of the May as we wanted to take advantage of the available rebates and Amir & Jenneth made it happen for us and they continued to assist us after while we were applying for the Loan & Rebates. We’re so happy to have AC in our home for the summer and would 100% recommend Centrum Solutions to anyone.

We had them come over to our place for a consultation to install a new Heat pump. Amir was amazing in explaining me everything and took time answering my questions. Jenneth also helped me answer all questions and filling up the application for FortisBC rebates. We ended up paying exactly what was quoted and no extra hidden costs.

Installation went very good. They took great care in doing everything properly and never felt like it was rushed to just finish the work.

It's been few weeks since the installation, heating works great and just waiting to test the AC unit once the hot weather sets in. But I am sure if any issues Amir and team will help to sort it out. I will try to update the review after year when I do my yearly service maintenance with them.

I had an amazing experience with Centrum! From start to finish, their professionalism and expertise were evident. The technicians were highly knowledgeable, explaining everything in detail and diagnosing the issue quickly. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job faster than expected while maintaining top-notch quality.

Customer service was outstanding—Amir was courteous, friendly, and respectful of my home.

I also appreciated their honest and fair pricing. There were no hidden fees, and the quote they provided was accurate and reasonable for the high-quality service they delivered.

Overall, they turned what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and hassle-free experience. I highly recommend Centrum solutions to anyone in need of reliable and professional HVAC and Plumbing services. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future needs

We have used Centrum Solutions over the past two years for numerous projects, including 2 mini split heat pumps. Amir and Jenneth are lovely people who provide top-notch customer service. I always feel that Amir has my best interest in mind and strives to come up with a plan that takes into account my specific needs. I like knowing that I'm dealing with the owner of the company - Amir takes pride in his work, and it shows.

I had a fantastic experience with Centrum Solutions. Amir and his team, including Bernardo, installed a new heat pump at our place. Their work was exceptional, and Amir and Jenneth provided excellent communication, addressing any questions promptly. I highly recommend Centrum Solutions for their professionalism and top-notch service. Definitely deserving of a 5-star rating!

We had our hot water tank replaced with a tankless that Amir suggested and it has worked flawlessly over the last 2 years, we some small issues arise and Amir was here the same day or next to fix the issue.
He also replaced our old a/c with a new heat pump, this was a big job as our air handler was up in the attic, Amir and Bernardo removed the old unit and replaced it with new unit with precision. Even though it was hot up in the attic they never complained.
Amir was always patient to answer the many questions we asked him. He always returned my calls as many contractors never call back after a job is done.
They did an amazing job, very neat and clean work.
Would highly recommend Centrum Solutions

Centrum Team took quick action on getting a dual fuel hybrid heat pump/furnace installed that met Fortis's rebate policies. Jenneth was very helpful with ensuring the right equipment was selected and helped arrange the two assesments that were needed (air flow calc. and energuide). All around happy with the install and would recommend Centrum.

I am extremely pleased with the exceptional service provided by Centrum and their dedicated team, led by Arim. Their professionalism was evident from the outset as they efficiently handled our HVAC installation with a remarkable attention to detail. Unlike other installers, Centrum's commitment to getting the job done right the first time truly sets them apart.

Arim's excellent communication skills ensured that we were kept informed throughout the installation process, eliminating any uncertainties we might have had. It was evident that they prioritize customer satisfaction, going the extra mile to not only meet but exceed our expectations. What truly impressed us was the inclusion of some additional services, a thoughtful gesture that demonstrated their commitment to delivering value. Centrum's dedication, expertise, and focus on customer well-being make them a top choice in the HVAC industry.

We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Centrum Solutions for the replacement of our furnace. The entire process, from receiving the initial quote to the installation, was truly enjoyable. Amir, the owner and operator of the business, impressed us with his expertise and amiable demeanor. He took the time to explain all the details, enabling us to make a well-informed decision.

Furthermore, Jenneth, the Administrative Manager, was exceptionally responsive and provided valuable assistance in securing government rebates. We wholeheartedly endorse Centrum Solutions for all heating and cooling projects and highly recommend their services
