Choosing the Right Team for AC Installation in Burnaby

Published on July 04, 2025

At Harbour Energy, we offer HVAC installation, maintenance, and repair, including complete AC installation in Burnaby and surrounding areas. As summer temperatures rise, a reliable air conditioning system has become more of a necessity than a luxury in new home builds across the GVRD. This is especially true if you live with pets or vulnerable family members, such as young children or senior citizens.

Invest in Proper AC Installation

When it comes to HVAC teams, you may be spoilt for choice. There are many businesses offering an array of HVAC services, and it can be hard to know who to trust. However, investing in a team that can properly install your new air conditioning unit is about more than simply cooling your home. Smooth and efficient operations reduce environmental costs as well as your energy bills. Proper AC installation also diminishes the risk of breakdown. In other words, it’s worth investing in a team that can complete the job properly.

As a team providing HVAC services in Vancouver since 1988, we work with home and business owners as well as contractors looking for expert HVAC installation. We work with all systems, simple or advanced, including smart thermostats featuring all the bells and whistles. Whatever your project, the team at Harbour Energy always works to install HVAC systems for ease of use and next-level comfort.

Part of our service is ensuring you have the best system for your space. In cities like Burnaby, where climate conditions vary throughout the year, selecting the right system and installing it correctly is crucial. Key factors to consider for your installation include:

  • Property Size and Layout: An oversized or undersized unit will not perform efficiently. Our professional HVAC technicians can perform a load calculation to determine system size.
  • Energy Efficiency: Look for units with ENERGY STAR® certification and high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings to ensure long-term savings (ask about the latest rebates)!
  • Ductwork: Leaky or poorly designed ducts can lead to significant energy loss. During installation, our technicians can inspect and, if desirable, upgrade ductwork.
  • Permits and Codes: In Burnaby, HVAC installations must comply with local building codes. Our licensed contractors ensure all permits are obtained and regulations are followed.

Troubleshooting and Repairing Air Conditioners in Burnaby

Even with the best equipment and installation, air conditioning systems require regular maintenance to remain efficient and trouble-free. Recognizing the signs of a problem early can prevent expensive damage. Common issues that may require the attention of a specialist include:

  • Insufficient Cooling: Often caused by low refrigerant levels, dirty coils, or clogged filters.
  • Unusual Noises: Grinding or squealing noises may indicate worn belts or motor issues.
  • Water Leaks: A clogged drain pipe or frozen evaporator coil can lead to water puddling around the unit.
  • Thermostat Problems: If your AC doesn’t respond appropriately, the issue may be caused by a malfunctioning thermostat. We understand controls and provide services to keep your air conditioner or heat pump operating with smooth efficiency.

I noticed a leaky outdoor faucet on my forty-year-old home. Besides being a terrible waste of water, I was worried about the integrity of the pipes come winter. Harbour Energy arrived next day and quickly diagnosed and explained the problem. Harb had all the necessary parts on hand and completed the job in about 20 minutes. No more leaky faucet!
