Boiler Selection for Lions Bay homes and buildings
Boiler selection comes before sizing, before quotes and before anyone orders equipment. It is the conversation that decides whether a building gets a heating-only condensing boiler with an indirect tank, a combi boiler, or something with a different role entirely, and how much the choice implies for venting, piping and controls. ROMA's technicians compare options against your building rather than starting from a preferred brand.
Selection does not replace a heat-loss assessment or sizing; it uses the context those steps provide. The outcome is a shortlist of realistic boiler types and models with the trade-offs stated plainly, so the next step, whether that is sizing, a proposal or an installation, happens on an informed foundation.
Building permits. The Village of Lions Bay requires building permits for all new construction, temporary buildings and alterations to existing construction, including additions, kitchen renovations that relocate plumbing fixtures, basement finishing and secondary suites. Permits must be obtained before work starts and are applied for at the Village Office or online with an application fee of $100. Source
Building bylaws. The Village of Lions Bay's Building Bylaws regulate the construction, alteration, repair, demolition or moving of buildings and pools and the installation, alteration or repair of plumbing, sprinkler and heating systems, per Building Bylaw No. 234, 1994 (Consolidated). Source

Frequently asked questions
Will you recommend a single brand?
The recommendation is based on what fits your building, emitters and hot-water use. Where a specific brand matters for availability or service, it is confirmed before anything is proposed.
Can I get selection help if I already have a quote from elsewhere?
Yes. A selection consultation is a fair way to check whether the boiler type proposed for your home makes sense before you commit.
Is selection the same as sizing?
No. Selection decides which type of boiler fits your home; sizing determines the capacity the boiler must have. Boilers.ca treats them as separate steps, in that order.
