Heating Repair in Coquitlam
No heat in the middle of winter or no hot water before work is never convenient, and it rarely waits for a good time. Whether it's a furnace that won't fire, a boiler that's gone quiet, or a water heater giving you nothing but cold, the good news is that most heating problems are fixable, often the same day.
KCs Plumbing, Heating & Drain Services has repaired heating systems across Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities since 1993. We're a licensed gas-fitting company, so whether the problem is electrical, mechanical, or touches the gas line, our own technicians handle the whole job.

What's Actually Wrong With Your Heat?
The right fix depends on what kind of system you have. Here's where to look for detail on your specific problem:
- Hot water tank repair — no hot water, rusty water, rumbling, or a tank that's leaking. See our full guide on water heater repair for symptoms and what's actually repairable.
- Tankless water heater repair — error codes, cold water mid-shower, or reduced flow on an on-demand system.
- Electric water heater repair — tripped breakers, failed elements, or a unit that won't heat at all.
- Furnace repair — no heat, a furnace that won't stay lit, or one that's cycling on and off too often.
- Boiler repair — for hydronic heating, radiant floors, and combi systems that have stopped working properly.
Gas Repairs Aren't a DIY Job
Anything touching a gas line, burner, pilot, or venting legally requires a licensed gas fitter in British Columbia. It's not a formality. A mistake here risks a gas leak or carbon monoxide exposure in your home. We're licensed for gas work ourselves, so we don't subcontract out the part of the job that actually needs the license.
Not Sure If It's Worth Repairing?
Most single-part failures on a reasonably young system are worth fixing. An aging unit that's already been repaired more than once, or one that's leaking from the tank body, usually isn't. We'll always give you an honest answer rather than push the more expensive option. If you want the full breakdown for water heaters specifically, our water heater repair guide walks through it. If you're planning ahead rather than dealing with something broken right now, our heating maintenance and heating replacement pages cover what those involve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is My Furnace, Boiler, or Water Heater Worth Repairing?
Usually, yes, if it's a single failed part on a reasonably young system. An older unit with repeated problems, or one leaking from the body, is often better replaced. We'll tell you honestly which situation you're in.
Do You Offer Emergency Heating Repair?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24 hours a day, every day, across Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities.
Can I Repair a Gas Furnace or Water Heater Myself?
Not the gas-connected parts. Gas work on a heating system legally requires a licensed gas fitter in BC. Non-gas issues, like a tripped breaker on an electric unit, are lower risk, but a misdiagnosis can still cost you more in the long run.
How Much Does Heating Repair Cost?
It depends on the system and the specific failure. Our rates page is a good starting point, and we'll always give you a clear number before we start work.
Do You Repair All Brands?
Yes. We work on all major brands of furnaces, boilers, and water heaters, for both residential and commercial systems.
