If your home still runs on an oil heating system, you’re not alone. But you are paying more than you should — in dollars, in emissions, and in peace of mind.
At Eco Pro Heating & Cooling, we’ve helped hundreds of Vancouver homeowners ditch the high-maintenance, carbon-heavy oil systems of the past and upgrade to smarter, cleaner alternatives. The truth? Oil heat may have served you well in the past. But today, it’s outdated, inefficient, and on its way out — both practically and legislatively.
An oil heating system uses fuel oil stored in a tank (often located in or beside the home) that feeds a burner inside your furnace or boiler. The burner ignites the oil, creating heat that’s transferred via a heat exchanger to warm air or water — which is then distributed throughout your home.
Simple? Sure. But also…
Most homeowners don’t realize just how costly oil heating is until the delivery truck rolls in… again.
✅ Fuel Volatility – Heating oil prices are among the most unstable of any energy source, and they spike during colder months when you need it most.
✅ Maintenance Heavy – Annual tune-ups, fuel filter replacements, tank checks, chimney inspections — the to-do list keeps growing.
✅ Home Insurance Issues – Older tanks are red flags for insurers. Some won’t even cover you without a modern containment system.
✅ Carbon Emissions – Oil heating emits significantly more greenhouse gases than natural gas or electric heat pumps — a fact that’s prompted regulatory phase-outs across Canada.
And here in Vancouver, where climate commitments are front and center, that matters.
Yes — and faster than you think.
According to Canada’s Green Building Strategy, new oil heating installations could be banned in new construction as early as 2028. More regions are offering generous rebates to encourage homeowners to switch to clean energy now, rather than wait until policy forces the issue.
Lucky for you, Vancouver is leading the charge.
