Gas boiler repair, replacement and installation in West Vancouver, BC

Gas boiler repair, replacement, installation and maintenance in West Vancouver, BC by ROMA Heating & Cooling, a Technical Safety BC licensed gas contractor serving Greater Vancouver since 1999.

Boilers in West Vancouver

West Vancouver takes a different permitting path from its neighbours: the District of West Vancouver states plainly that it does not issue or inspect gas installations, and directs gas work to Technical Safety BC. That means gas boiler installation and replacement in West Vancouver is permitted by Technical Safety BC, not by the municipality.

The District's own mechanical permit program covers plumbing, drainage, hot water heating and fire sprinkler work. Its permitting pages require mechanical permits to be taken out by a provincially qualified contractor unless a homeowner can satisfy the mechanical inspector, and contractors need a valid West Vancouver business licence or, for businesses in North Vancouver, an inter-municipal licence.

West Vancouver's permitting model means a boiler job splits into a Technical Safety BC gas permit for the gas appliance and a District mechanical permit for the hot-water heating system, taken out by a provincially qualified contractor. ROMA Heating & Cooling publishes a West Vancouver service page covering boiler services in the district.
