Our cooling options are as varied as the size and location of your home. For one room or 20; apartment, townhouse, house, or small business, we’ve got the cooling solution for you.
Manufacturer advancements have made it easier to escape from the muggy summer heat (however long we’ve waited for it!) and customize the settings in your home during certain times of the day. The latest technology can even let you program your thermostat from your cell phone or computer so that you can walk into your ideal temperature as you arrive home. You can also adjust indoor humidity. All of these cooling options are now right at your fingertips. Let us help you set them up!

- Canadian products – As a Continental / Napoleon dealer we have confidence in their products. With their tested manufacturing methods and excellent warranty, you’ll not only have a unit that lasts but a wealth of dedicated technical support on your side, to ensure it’s running efficiently.
- Superior installation – There’s something to be said for experience, and the team at R&B Plumbing and Heating has many years behind us. Our manufacturer-schooled technicians like to showcase their workmanship and often find themselves having a little friendly competition among the crew to see who can do the best work. To see what yours might look like and how it works, see our working installation in person when you visit our R&B office.
- The best warranties in the business – We’ve made it a practice to register every piece of equipment we install for our customers. It just takes a couple of minutes and we have all the information. Then, our one-year parts and labor warranty is followed by the robust manufacturer warranty, which protects you against any unlikely defects in equipment or workmanship. For those who will stay in their home a long long time, we can often offer extended warranties on parts and labour.
- Grant access – As a registered Fortis Ally Trade Network and member of the Home Performance Contractor Network, R&B is among the first to hear of upcoming grants to help you save money. Additionally, we always ensure we’re up to date on all other grants and incentives from other sources such as Clean BC Better Homes, and loan programs like the one offered by Greener Homes.
We also service, repair and maintain cooling systems.
Types of Cooling System Repairs
Cooling systems can develop a range of issues due to age, wear and tear, or environmental factors. Here are some common repairs we handle:
- Refrigerant Leaks – Leaking refrigerant reduces efficiency and can cause the system to blow warm air. We will locate and remediate the leak, then recharge the system.
- Compressor Repairs or Replacement – The compressor is the heart of the system. If it fails, the entire cooling function is compromised. We diagnose and replace faulty compressors with OEM parts.
- Fan Motor Repairs – Faulty condenser or blower fan motors can prevent air from circulating properly. We replace worn-out motors to restore airflow.
- Electrical Issues – From faulty thermostats and blown fuses to damaged wiring and capacitor failures, we troubleshoot and repair all electrical components.
- Frozen Evaporator Coils – Dirty filters or low refrigerant can cause coils to freeze, reducing performance. We clean, defrost, and correct underlying causes.
- Blocked Condensate Drains – If the drain line is clogged, it can cause leaks or water damage. We clear blockages and ensure proper drainage.
- Noisy Operation – Rattling, grinding, or buzzing sounds often point to loose parts or mechanical wear. We pinpoint the source and carry out precision repairs.
Types of Cooling System Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is key to extending the life of your system and avoiding expensive breakdowns — especially during Vancouver’s warmer months. Here’s what we include in a typical maintenance visit:
- Full System Inspection – Checking all components — coils, motors, fans, electrical connections, and thermostat — to ensure optimal function.
- Cleaning Coils and Components – Dirty condenser or evaporator coils reduce efficiency. We deep-clean the system to improve performance.
- Changing Air Filters – Replacing clogged or dirty filters to ensure proper airflow and indoor air quality.
- Lubricating Moving Parts – Reduces friction and prevents motor and fan failures.
- Tightening Electrical Connections – Loose wiring can be a safety hazard and cause intermittent failures.
- Testing Thermostat Accuracy – Calibrating or upgrading your thermostat for better control and efficiency.
