Combination, or “combi,” boilers are systems that provide hot water for both space heating and tap water, replacing your existing boiler and hot water tank.
Here in British Columbia, one of the most popular combination boilers is the Navien NCB – and not only because it looks after two jobs! In addition to its efficiency rating of 95 per cent, corrosion-resistant stainless steel heat exchanger, and ability to provide a virtually endless supply of hot water, the Navien NCB boiler is also capable of modulating from 10 to 100 per cent capacity.
“This means it can precisely match its output to your home’s needs, resulting in more even temperatures, compared to older and more basic boilers that can only operate at one level,” explains Allan Lake, owner of Good Guys Heating, Cooling and Plumbing in Surrey.
Better yet, the Navien NCB qualifies for the maximum $1,500 FortisBC boiler rebate, including the $300 two-upgrade bonus.

Peace of mind: Qualified technicians at your service
When you work with a local team, you can feel confident that the required regular maintenance – and prompt repairs if needed – are just a call away.
Good Guys has technicians with extensive experience in boiler maintenance and repair, who’ve also completed the manufacturer’s service training program. With today’s high-efficiency systems being more complex, it’s vital to use a technician with the necessary experience.
When repairs are needed, an $89 evaluation fee includes a home visit to evaluate your system, and an estimate to complete your repair.
Of course, regular maintenance is essential to keep your home heating equipment in tip-top shape, and to keep the warranties on your system valid. The maintenance charge is $189 for a tankless service (recommended annually) and $289 for a high-efficiency boiler service. New customers are eligible for a $40 one-time discount on maintenance.
