Quick answer
For gas furnace repair in Lake Country, call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548. We find the fault, repair or replace the furnace, and pull the Technical Safety BC permit for gas and venting work under our gas contractor licence (LGA0212697).
Lake Country sits between Kelowna and Vernon, and the BC Building Code sets heating design temperatures of −17°C for Kelowna and −20°C for Vernon. A furnace here runs for long stretches from fall to spring, and that is what wears out igniters, flame sensors, inducer motors and blower motors. When one gives up, we find the part that actually failed rather than guessing.
Older homes add more to check. Oyama has the oldest housing in the District, and in an older house a no-heat call can come down to venting, a worn gas valve or a clogged filter as much as the furnace itself. We test the whole path, give you a straight repair-or-replace answer, and do gas and venting work under permit. Gas permits here come from Technical Safety BC. In our area only the City of Kelowna issues its own natural gas permits.
Furnace repair in Lake Country
No-heat calls
Cold air, no ignition or a furnace that will not start, diagnosed on site and repaired when the part is on hand.
Furnaces that shut off early
Lights, runs briefly and quits: usually a flame sensor, igniter, pressure switch, filter or venting problem, traced and fixed.
Pre-season service
Burners, ignition, flame sensor, filter, venting and gas pressure checked before the cold weather settles in.
Gas furnace replacement
A new gas furnace sized for the house when repair no longer makes sense, with gas and venting installed under permit.
Before we get there
Furnace won't start: what to check first
If your furnace won't start or isn't turning on, check the thermostat is set to heat and has power, then check the filter isn't clogged. If it still won't run, call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548; we're open 24/7 for no-heat calls. If you smell gas, leave right away and call FortisBC's 24-hour emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 (or your propane supplier) or 911 from outside. Then call us for the repair.

Questions, answered
What size furnace does my Lake Country home need?
It should be sized to the house's heat loss, not just copied from the old unit. The BC Building Code does not list Lake Country, but it sits between Kelowna (−17°C) and Vernon (−20°C), and a replacement should be sized for those winters.
What should I check before calling about no heat?
Make sure the thermostat is set to heat and has power, the switch on or near the furnace is on, and the filter is not clogged. If it still will not run, call us.
Do you install heat pumps or air conditioning?
No. Our heating work is gas furnaces. We also do gas lines, gas fireplaces and water heaters.
Is it time to replace my older furnace?
It depends on age, condition and the cost of the repair. Once a furnace is past about 15 years and needs a major part, replacing it is often the better long-term spend, and we tell you which way we would go.
