Commercial Heat Pump Systems for Burnaby Businesses

Commercial buildings in Burnaby span a huge range: single-tenant office buildings in Metrotown, multi-tenant strata office parks along Canada Way, retail strips in Lougheed, mixed-use developments near SkyTrain stations. Each building has its own structural layout, occupancy profile, and HVAC history — and every one of those factors shapes the right heat pump solution.

We work directly with property managers, strata councils, business owners, and facilities teams to assess the building's needs before specifying any equipment. That means understanding peak occupancy loads, reviewing existing mechanical drawings where they exist, and designing a system that handles both heating and cooling loads across all occupied areas.

For most commercial applications, we work with ducted heat pump systems, commercial VRF (variable refrigerant flow) systems, or commercial packaged units depending on the building size and configuration. Single-zone commercial mini-splits work well for smaller suites and retail frontages. Larger buildings require a more engineered approach.

Commercial installations require BC Building Code compliance, mechanical permits, and in many cases, coordination with building management for scheduling and access. We handle the permitting and keep communication clear with all stakeholders throughout the project.

We also work with commercial property owners navigating BC Hydro's commercial efficiency programs and any applicable CleanBC incentives for businesses upgrading from fossil fuel heating. Commercial systems can qualify for significant rebates, and we make sure installations are documented to meet program requirements.
