Buying a new furnace?
When a furnace is past repair, Milani installs high-efficiency gas furnaces from Lennox and Goodman — from a strong-value two-stage model to a near-perfect modulating system. Here's how four popular options compare.

Is your furnace burning money? You can save money with air duct and furnace cleaning in Vancouver. A dirty heating system costs more to operate because the filters have to work harder, damaging your furnace in the long run. Ducts are often clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris. These particles are released into the house from your supply registers and affect both the air quality in your home and the health of sensitive individuals such as allergy sufferers, the elderly and children.
Milani’s experienced technicians are qualified to perform the most efficient furnace cleaning and sanitation procedure to keep your air ducts and furnace free of viruses and bacteria that grow in unsanitized ducts:
Contact Us OnlineMany older homes in Fairfield, Oak Bay, and James Bay still run the furnace they were fitted with decades ago, some of them oil, because the mild climate never forced the issue. When those units finally need a major repair, it is usually worth looking at a conversion to natural gas where the main is available, or to a heat pump, which suits Victoria's climate especially well.
A Milani 360 furnace tune-up covers the heat exchanger, burners, ignition system, gas pressure, blower, and venting, with a combustion analysis and CO check. On older heritage homes we also look at ductwork condition and combustion air supply, both of which are often original and undersized by modern standards.
Because the heating season here is short and gentle, furnace problems tend to stay hidden until a rare cold, frosty week exposes them. A tune-up in the fall is the practical way to find a failing igniter, a cracked heat exchanger, or a tired blower motor before that week arrives.
Milani is a family-owned Canadian company. Our gas work is done by licensed gas fitters and permitted through Technical Safety BC where required, and if your home is on oil or electric we can walk you through the realistic options and costs for switching.
More Ways We Can Help
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Yes. We assess the system, explain the issue, and provide repair and replacement pricing before any work begins.
We can service and assess it, and more importantly we can lay out what a switch to a gas furnace or a heat pump would involve for your home. Given Victoria's mild winters, a heat pump is often the strongest option.
Parts of Greater Victoria are not on the natural gas network. In those areas a heat pump, sometimes paired with electric backup, is usually the most cost-effective route, and we can assess your home for it.
