Heating in Vancouver: what's different
Heating work in Vancouver follows the local climate. Long, damp, mild heating seasons mean heating systems run often at low load. Heat pumps are common, and older homes may still use furnaces or baseboard heat.
A common Vancouver pattern: gorge winds and ice storms. Cold east winds from the Columbia Gorge can bring freezing rain that ices outdoor heat pumps and knocks out power, so working defrost controls and backup heat matter. Another: heat waves without AC. Many older homes had no cooling before 2021, and heat pumps have become the most common upgrade for both summer comfort and efficient winter heat.
The heating services Vancouver homeowners ask for most are furnace Repair. No heat, ignition failure, short cycling and pilot or flame sensor problems.
The City of Vancouver Community Development Department issues mechanical permits inside city limits, and Clark County covers unincorporated areas. Washington licenses HVAC contractors through the Department of Labor and Industries, and Clark Public Utilities has offered heat pump incentives.

What should I do if my carbon monoxide alarm goes off?+
Get everyone outside to fresh air and call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line. Do not go back in until responders say it is safe, then have the heating system inspected.
Why does my furnace turn on and then shut off?+
A dirty flame sensor, a blocked vent or intake, a clogged filter or an overheating heat exchanger are common causes. The control board's blink code helps a tech narrow it down.
