$2M+ in Ready Inventory
= Less Waiting for Parts
Alpine maintains over $2 million in ready-to-go parts inventory across our service fleet and Chilliwack warehouse—meaning we can complete most commercial boiler repairs on the first visit.
While others scramble for specialty parts or wait on eastern suppliers, our inventory includes components for both high-efficiency and legacy boiler systems. That means your tenants or operations aren't left in the cold for days.
We stock everything from burners and igniters to control boards, pressure relief valves, and pumps. And our supplier network ensures fast sourcing for even rare components, giving us the edge in urgent repairs.
With 24/7 emergency service and deep boiler expertise, Alpine is the only call you need when downtime isn't an option.
24/7/365
2-Hour Emergency Response Time
When a commercial boiler fails—especially in winter—every hour without heat puts buildings, tenants, and operations at risk.
That's why Alpine guarantees a 2-hour average emergency response time across the Fraser Valley, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Unlike competitors who route calls through third parties, our emergency line connects you directly with on-call boiler technicians ready to dispatch. Our GPS-tracked fleet of service vehicles carries the parts, tools, and experience needed to fix most problems immediately.
Whether it's a failed ignition module in a hospital or a heat exchanger issue at a school, we understand that "emergency" means now—not tomorrow morning. making Alpine the first call when failure isn't an option.
