The HVAC contractors market in Vancouver
Vancouver (population: 680,000, British Columbia) is Canada's Pacific gateway, with the highest housing costs and most demanding service expectations. Heritage homes, character craftsman houses, and ocean-adjacent condos all need different service approaches. Wet winters mean roofs, gutters, and exterior trades stay busy almost year-round.
For HVAC contractors working in Vancouver, BC, that means: Two peak seasons: late spring (AC installs / tune-ups) and October–December (furnace replacements before the cold). Annual maintenance plans smooth the rest.
Typical hourly rates in Vancouver
Based on Canadian field-service market surveys, HVAC contractors in Vancouver generally charge between $100 and $160 CAD per hour (taxes extra). Most installations are sold flat-price ($5K–$15K residential; $30K+ commercial).

Licensing and provincial requirements
To operate as a HVAC contractor in British Columbia, you'll typically need:
- Provincial HVAC contractor licence (TSSA in Ontario, Technical Safety BC, Alberta Safety Codes Council)
- Gas Technician licence (G1, G2, G3 in Ontario) for any gas-fired equipment
- Refrigeration handling certification (ODP card / 313A) for working with refrigerants
- WSIB / WorkSafe coverage and liability insurance
ServeHub lets you attach these documents to the invoices that require them — your licence, certificate of insurance, and WSIB / WorkSafe clearance. Attaching is a manual step per invoice; there is no document vault and no automatic linking.

FAQ — HVAC contractors in Vancouver
How much does ServeHub cost for a Vancouver HVAC contractor business?
There is a free-forever plan, and two paid plans — Plus at $20/month and Pro at $55/month. Every plan includes unlimited users, so the price does not change as your team grows. 7-day free trial of the paid features, no credit card required.
Can I store my provincial licence and insurance documents in ServeHub?
You can attach files to an invoice, so a British Columbia contractor licence, WSIB/WorkSafe clearance, or certificate of insurance can be sent with the invoices that need them. There is no separate document vault, and attaching is a manual step per document rather than something ServeHub does automatically.
Does ServeHub work in both English and French?
Yes — the entire UI, customer emails, invoices, and contracts are available in both languages. Useful for shops in Ottawa, Mississauga, and other Ontario markets with bilingual customers.
How long does migration from my current software take?
Set up your service catalogue, add your first customers, and you can send your first estimate the same day. There is no bulk customer CSV import — customers are added in the app, or arrive as leads from your website, estimate widget, and AI phone assistant. Email sales@servehub.co if you get stuck.
Does ServeHub work offline when my tech is in a basement without signal?
No — ServeHub needs a connection, and there is no offline mode that queues photos and notes for later sync. Hvac contractors working in basements, underground parking, or older buildings in neighbourhoods like Downtown should capture photos with the phone's camera and add them once back in coverage. If offline capture is a hard requirement for your crews, ServeHub is not the right fit today.
