The size and layout of the property, existing ductwork, insulation, equipment and how the space is used all affect how a system should be designed or serviced.<\/p><p>At Intrinsic Air Systems, we look at those factors before recommending a solution. For new homes and major HVAC projects, that can include system design, heat load and heat loss calculations, equipment selection and ductwork planning.<\/p><p>For existing systems, we inspect the equipment and determine whether a repair, maintenance service or replacement makes the most sense.<\/p><p>We provide HVAC services across Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and communities throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.<\/p><p>These are the services we offer:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-column-38-113 bde-column\" data-entrance=\"slideRight\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-div-38-166 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"bde-heading-38-167 bde-heading\">\nHVAC Installation & Design\n<\/h1><div class=\"bde-icon-38-168 bde-icon\">\n\n    \n                    \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    <a class=\"breakdance-link bde-icon-icon breakdance-icon-atom\" href=\"https:\/\/intrinsic-air.ca\/ias-wp\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" data-type=\"url\"  >\n\n    \n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><!--!

If the system has reached the end of its useful life, we'll also discuss replacement options and help you choose equipment that suits the home.\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-div-38-237 bde-div\" data-entrance=\"zoomIn\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-button-38-238 bde-button\">\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n                    \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    <a class=\"breakdance-link button-atom button-atom--custom bde-button__button\" href=\"https:\/\/intrinsic-air.ca\/ias-wp\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" data-type=\"url\"  >\n\n    \n        <span class=\"button-atom__text\">Contact<\/span>\n\n        \n        \n                <\/a>\n\n    \n\n\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-icon-38-239 bde-icon\">\n\n    \n                    \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    <a class=\"breakdance-link bde-icon-icon breakdance-icon-atom\" href=\"https:\/\/intrinsic-air.ca\/ias-wp\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" data-type=\"url\"  >\n\n    \n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><!--!

It is less prone to breakdowns and less to repair. Single stage means one single-speed blower motor and gas flame is either on or off. Temperature swings can be up to +\/- 4 degrees. You may find warm or cold spots in certain areas of your home and your home temperature may spike and drop over time. When house temperature gets cold the furnace turns on to full capacity (one BTU). These have 80% AFUE. In other words, \u201cAnnual Fuel Utilization Efficiency\u201d or AFUE of 80% would mean that 80% of the fuel burned by this heater can be used as useful heat to warm your house, and the other 20% is wasted through your exhaust vent.<br \/><br \/><strong>2 Stage Furnace<br \/><\/strong><br \/>This is more expensive to buy than single stage but LESS NOISY and MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT as it runs at lower BTU during stage 1 and stage 2 (higher BTU) will kick in only if stage 1 cannot maintain set temperature. In turn these use less fuel as they are not constantly running on high. Less temperature swing (+\/- 2 degrees off set point) as this furnace distributes heat more evenly. And with longer run times it helps keep air circulating thus improving indoor air quality. Fewer stops and starts also reduce wear and tear on components helping extend lifespan. These have 96% AFUE.<br \/><br \/><strong>Modulating\/Variable Furnace<br \/><br \/><\/strong>Modulating are going to be the most expensive option but most energy efficient. Instead of having 1 or 2 stages these have about 70 stages. The furnace has a burner that adjusts the amount of fuel burned incrementally in order to maintain a consistent temperature. You can compare these to driving on a highway rarely having to press on the gas pedal vs driving in the city with more abrupt starts and stops. These furnaces only use as much energy as they have to. It gauges how much the furnace has to work in 1% increments resulting in the most evenly distributed heat and prevent hot and cold spots within a home. These use 80% less energy and are rated 98+ AFUE. Downfall can be age of home as insulation and duct layout plays a huge factor so homes over 30 years old don\u2019t see efficiency with these.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-accordion__content-wrapper-38-196 bde-accordion__content-wrapper\" data-entrance=\"slideUp\">\n<h3 class=\"bde-accordion__title-tag\">\n  <button type=\"button\" class=\"bde-accordion__button\" id=\"accordion-button-196\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-196\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__title\" >Air Conditioning 101<\/span>\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__icon bde-accordion__icon--default\"><\/span>\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__icon bde-accordion__icon--active\"><\/span>\n  <\/button>\n<\/h3>\n\n<div role=\"region\" class=\"bde-accordion__panel\" id=\"accordion-panel-196\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-button-196\">\n    <div class=\"bde-accordion__panel-content\">\n        <div class=\"bde-rich-text-38-197 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p><strong>How an Air Conditioner Works<\/strong><\/p><p>Natural physics\u2026.When a liquid converts to a gas it absorbs heat.<\/p><p>ACs do this by forcing special chemical compounds \u201cREFRIGERANTS\u201d to evaporate and condense over and over again in a closed system of coils. ACs also contain fans that move warm interior air over these refrigerant filled cold coils.<\/p><p>As hot air flows over the cold, low-pressure coils, the refrigerant inside the coils absorbs heat as it changes from a liquid to a gas.<\/p><p>To keep cooling efficiently, the AC has to convert the refrigerant gas back to a liquid. This is where a COMPRESSOR now takes the gas and puts it under high pressure. This process creates unwanted heat. All this heat, created by compressing the gas, is then filtered outdoors with the help of a second set of coils called CONDENSER COILS and a second fan.<\/p><p>As the gas cools, it changes back to a liquid, and the process starts all over again.<br \/><br \/>Air Conditioning is nothing more than a continuous cycle where refrigerant is chilling the indoor air and the resulting gas is being continually compressed and cooled for conversion back to a liquid again.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>Watch video link below to fully understand how AC works:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QWD3O1TyJRg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QWD3O1TyJRg<\/a><\/p><p><strong>TYPES OF AC SYSTEMS<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>CENTRAL AC<br \/><\/strong><br \/>This system uses ducts to deliver the air to each room of your home.

They fit directly into the walls but can also be suspended from the ceiling or installed in a drop ceiling. The condenser is kept outside, and only hoses are needed to travel between the units. A small hole is required to install, which makes the installation fast and simple. You can purchase units that will handle a single room or up to four rooms at a time.<\/p><p>As you can see from Mitsubishi\u00a0<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mhiaa.com.au\/products\/category\/residential\/ceiling-concealed-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/mhiaa.com.au\/products\/category\/residential\/ceiling-concealed-systems\/<\/a><\/p><p>Advantages include a much quieter system as the parts of an ac that make the most noise are the compressor and the fan that cools the condenser. In a split system, the compressor and fan for the condenser are located outside the room being cooled and therefore the major sources of noise are removed.<\/p><p>Another plus is Energy is saved on bills as well. Without a network of ducts, there is very little opportunity for heat or energy loss. Many centralized A\/C units lose a lot of energy due to heat exchange in the air duct system.<\/p><p>A downfall is that ductless units require its filter to be washed a minimum of once a month to maintain it. Very important as ductless fans cannot handle accumulating debris, and if you ignore maintenance and a professional cleaning is required, you\u2019ll spend hundreds of dollars and possibly shorten the life of your system.<br \/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-345 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/intrinsic-air.ca\/ias-wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Daikin.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intrinsic-air.ca\/ias-wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Daikin.webp 767w, https:\/\/intrinsic-air.ca\/ias-wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Daikin-300x237.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><\/p><p>Photo from: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daikin.com\/products\/ac\/lineup\/split_multi_split\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.daikin.com\/products\/ac\/lineup\/split_multi_split\/<\/a><\/p><p><strong><br \/>HEAT PUMPS<\/strong><br \/>During the summer months the heat pump operates like a traditional air conditioner to cool the home.

Secondary sources include:<\/p><ol><li>Electric resistance coil heaters<\/li><li>Gas Furnace aka Dual Fuel System<\/li><\/ol><p><strong>Electric resistance coil heaters<\/strong><br \/>Normally the default as they are the cheaper backup heat options for heat pumps. They\u2019re generally installed into the ductwork of your home. Electric resistance heaters have a 100% efficiency rating, which means every 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity turns into 1 kilowatt-hour of heat delivered to your home. Not so efficient compared to the heat pump which has about 300% energy efficiency.<br \/><br \/>So if temperatures stay below freezing for a long time, the heat pump will have to use the electric resistance coils more and you will definitely notice a huge cost increase on your energy bill.<\/p><p><strong>Gas furnace (dual fuel system)<\/strong><br \/>The other backup heat option is having a gas furnace. This system is more expensive upfront than the electric resistance coil heaters, but will be more energy efficient in long run as the coils require about 3 times as much energy to deliver heat compared to a gas-powered unit.<\/p><p><strong>HEAT PUMP vs FURNACE?<\/strong><br \/>Heat pumps have quite a few advantages with the top being their energy efficiency.<br \/>A heat pump uses electricity to transfer heat from one area to another, which means that it never has to generate heat itself. It simply transfers the heat that already exists from either the outside of a house to the inside or vice versa.<br \/><br \/>A heat pump is also more environmentally friendly because it requires no fossil fuels to heat your home. Heat pumps, although more efficient than most furnaces, are also more expensive to operate. This is because electricity (used to power heat pumps) is typically more expensive than the natural gas or propane used to power furnace. <br \/><br \/>Climate will play a big factor in your decision too. Mild climate benefit from heat pumps where climates with longer colder winters will do better on a furnace.<\/p><p><strong>Heat Pump Maintenance<\/strong><br \/>In order to keep your heat pump operating efficiently, proper maintenance is necessary:<\/p><ol><li>Replace air filters every 30-60 days.<\/li><li>The heat pump should be completely level, supported by a concrete support pad.<\/li><li>Never stack anything on top of the unit.<\/li><li>Maintain a minimum 2-foot clearance around the entire unit.<\/li><li>You can improve heat pump efficiency with shade from trees, trellises, and awnings.<\/li><li>Periodically check your outdoor unit and clear away grass clippings, leaves, dirt, snow, and other debris (you can use your garden hose).<\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-accordion__content-wrapper-38-200 bde-accordion__content-wrapper\" data-entrance=\"slideUp\">\n<h3 class=\"bde-accordion__title-tag\">\n  <button type=\"button\" class=\"bde-accordion__button\" id=\"accordion-button-200\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-200\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__title\" >HRV and ERV 101<\/span>\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__icon bde-accordion__icon--default\"><\/span>\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__icon bde-accordion__icon--active\"><\/span>\n  <\/button>\n<\/h3>\n\n<div role=\"region\" class=\"bde-accordion__panel\" id=\"accordion-panel-200\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-button-200\">\n    <div class=\"bde-accordion__panel-content\">\n        <div class=\"bde-rich-text-38-201 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>Before the energy crisis of the 1970s, homes had what you can call natural ventilation thanks to lack of insulation and gaps around doors and windows. This meant poor comfort, heat loss and little control over air quality. These days we have much better insulation so we don\u2019t have to lose heat and houses are built at much higher standards of air tightness\u2013 but that creates a new problem of getting fresh air in homes now.<\/p><p>Air recirculation became an important issue. Early air exchangers were an answer to the problem; HRV and ERV units are newer and better versions of these devices. Both are air exchange systems that help to enhance indoor air quality and minimize heating.<\/p><p>Both will help\u2026<\/p><ul><li>Exhaust, stale, polluted, humid air.<\/li><li>Reduce condensation, mould, mildew, etc<\/li><li>Transfer heat from stale, damp, exhaust air to preheat (or cool, in summer) fresh incoming air.<\/li><li>Save energy costs by helping the furnace and\/or a\/c to work less.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>HRV<\/strong><br \/>An HRV captures and recycles heat. Polluted exhaust air is used the heat to warm incoming fresh air. So in the winter, by the laws of physics, whenever air is warmed, it\u2019s humidity is reduced as warm air can absorb moisture. Thus cold incoming outdoor air is automatically dehumidified when it is warmed by the re-cycled heat.<\/p><p>At the same time, humid warm indoor air, which has absorbed moisture and contains other indoor air pollutants, is exhausted. As the exhaust air passes through the HRV, the exhaust air heat is captured by the Heat Exchanger which heats the incoming cold outdoor air.<\/p><p>In the summer, homes WITH A\/C, the HRV heat exchanger captures cooled energy, and used it to cool the warm outdoor air as it is introduced into the home, for ventilation. This reduces the energy on the a\/c system while providing 100% fresh air ventilation.<\/p><p>The HRV can only dehumidify outdoor air when the outdoor air is colder than the inside air (law of physics as stated earlier). In homes without a\/c it is possible for the indoor air temperature to be several degrees cooler than the outside air temperature. If this is the case, the HRV will cool the incoming fresh air, by recycling the cooler energy that is retained indoors, and using this energy to cool the outdoor air as it is introduced into the home.<\/p><p>How HRVs work<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-349 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/intrinsic-air.ca\/ias-wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/how-heat-recovery-ventilation-works.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"462\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intrinsic-air.ca\/ias-wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/how-heat-recovery-ventilation-works.webp 462w, https:\/\/intrinsic-air.ca\/ias-wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/how-heat-recovery-ventilation-works-300x175.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>ERV<\/strong><br \/>Since they transfer moisture (core absorbs moisture from air), they help prevent excess dryness in the cold season and reduce the demands on the air-conditioning system in the warm season.

The less air leaks, the more humidity stays in, making the HRV the way to go.<\/p><p><strong>3. Type of heating system<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 In a wood-heated environment, which is more likely to be drier, an ERV will promote a healthier humidity level.<\/p><p><strong>4. Home SIZE<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 In general, HRV units are best suited to small or medium-sized homes as humidity can quickly accumulate. ERVs, therefore,will better serve larger homes where the air tends to be drier.<\/p><p><strong>5. Number of Occupants<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 An HRV fits the needs of a larger, active family that generates a lot of humidity.

In most cases, you can strike a good balance between air cleanliness and HVAC efficiency with a MERV-rated filter. Remember that the air in your home is recirculated, especially if you have a MODULATING furnace, so the same air will pass through your filter multiple times each day. After several rounds, each of which captures up to 75 percent of airborne particles, your air will get plenty clean, without requiring the extra energy that HEPA filtration would.<\/p><p><strong>Improving Air Quality Tips<\/strong><br \/>Indoor air quality can be just as bad as outdoor.
