High-efficiency hydronics. Reliable heat. Built to last.

Commercial boiler contractor since 1969.

In multi-residential, healthcare, hospitality, and industrial facilities, the boiler room is the building's heart. A no-heat call in January doesn't just inconvenience tenants - it triggers freeze-ups, frozen sprinklers, and angry calls to property managers. For 56 years, Fraser Valley building operators have trusted Alpine to design, install, and maintain the hydronic systems their tenants and processes depend on.

Whether you're heating a 60-unit strata in Chilliwack, running a multi-boiler condensing cascade for a hospital, or feeding a steam loop in a food-processing plant, we build boiler systems that don't quit.

From single-boiler swaps to engineered cascades

Our technicians are experts in commercial boiler design, installation & retrofit solutions.

From a single condensing boiler in a strata mechanical room to a multi-unit N+1 cascade with primary-secondary piping, outdoor reset, and integrated indirect DHW tanks, we approach every system the same way: build it to last, build it to be serviced, and keep it running.

By choosing Alpine, you're not just hiring another contractor - you're hiring our 56-year reputation for reliability, technical service capability, and decades of hydronic know-how built right here in Chilliwack.

Our team is a tight-knit, three-generation crew that treats your mechanical room like its own. Some of our staff have been with Alpine for the better part of 30 years; we keep training, certifications, and combustion-analyzer calibrations sharp so we leave every job dialled-in, leak-tight, and provably better.

In addition to supporting businesses across the Fraser Valley, we work with strata buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and industrial plants across BC's Lower Mainland - we're always better, sooner.

FAQ

Things facility managers ask.

01
What type of boiler is best for a commercial building?
It depends on your building's size, usage, and energy goals. For most applications, high-efficiency condensing boilers are ideal for reducing energy costs and emissions. Alpine custom-designs each system to meet your specific needs.
02
Can you service multi-boiler systems or complex hydronic loops?
Yes. Our commercial team is trained to service and optimize multi-boiler configurations, hydronic loop systems, and radiant floor applications.
03
How often should a commercial boiler be serviced?
We recommend annual maintenance for most commercial boilers, with more frequent inspections for high-use or critical applications. Regular maintenance ensures optimal efficiency, extends equipment life, and helps prevent costly breakdowns.
04
Do you provide maintenance contracts for commercial buildings?
Yes. Alpine offers customized preventive maintenance agreements tailored to your building's needs. These contracts include scheduled inspections, priority emergency response, and detailed compliance documentation.
05
Do you offer emergency boiler repair services?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7/365 emergency boiler repair services with an average 2-hour response time throughout the Fraser Valley. Our technicians carry extensive parts inventory to complete most repairs on the first visit.
06
How long does it take to install a new commercial boiler?
Installation timelines vary based on system complexity, but most commercial boiler installations take 1-3 days. Larger projects involving multi-boiler systems or extensive retrofits may take longer. We provide detailed project timelines during the consultation phase.
07
What brands of commercial boilers do you install and service?
We install and service all major commercial boiler brands including Viessmann, Weil-McLain, Lochinvar, Bosch, IBC, and many others. Our technicians are factory-trained on multiple brands and can recommend the best solution for your application.
08
What size boiler does my building need?
Our technicians perform detailed heat load calculations considering building size, insulation, windows, occupancy, and hot water demands. Proper sizing is critical - an undersized boiler won't heat effectively, while an oversized unit wastes energy and cycles excessively.
09
How long does a commercial boiler typically last?
With proper maintenance, commercial boilers typically last 20-30 years. Regular service, water treatment, and timely repairs can significantly extend equipment life while maintaining optimal efficiency.
10
Do you provide inspection reports for building managers or compliance audits?
Yes. We provide detailed inspection and maintenance reports suitable for building managers, insurance requirements, and compliance audits. Our documentation helps you stay ahead of regulatory requirements.
11
What are signs my boiler needs repair or replacement?
Common warning signs include unusual noises, inconsistent heating, rising fuel costs, frequent cycling, visible corrosion, and recurring repairs. If your boiler is over 15 years old and requiring frequent service, it may be time to consider replacement.
12
Can I convert from a steam system to hot water (hydronic)?
Yes, Alpine has extensive experience converting older steam systems to modern hydronic heating. These conversions often result in significant energy savings, improved comfort, and reduced maintenance requirements.
13
Can Alpine help with boiler retrofits?
Absolutely. We specialize in retrofitting aging boiler systems with modern, high-efficiency equipment. Our team handles everything from engineering and permitting to installation and commissioning.
14
How can I reduce my building's heating costs?
Options include upgrading to high-efficiency equipment, implementing smart controls, optimizing combustion settings, improving insulation, and establishing a preventive maintenance program. Our energy assessments identify the most cost-effective improvements for your building.
15
Are there government or utility rebates for commercial boiler upgrades?
Yes, as both a BC Hydro Alliance Member and FortisBC Trade Ally, we help clients access available rebates for energy-efficient boiler upgrades. We handle the paperwork and ensure you receive all eligible incentives.
16
Do you offer smart boiler controls or building automation integration?
Yes. We install and integrate smart boiler controls that optimize performance, enable remote monitoring, and integrate with building automation systems. These upgrades can significantly improve efficiency and provide real-time system insights.
17
How do I know if my boiler is compliant with BC building codes?
Alpine technicians are fully trained on BC building codes and safety regulations. We can perform compliance assessments and ensure your system meets all current requirements, including Technical Safety BC regulations.
18
What makes Alpine different from other HVAC companies?
With over 50 years of experience, $2M+ in ready inventory, 24/7 emergency response, and a team of Red Seal-certified technicians, Alpine delivers unmatched expertise and reliability. We're locally owned, fully licensed, and committed to long-term customer relationships.
19
What's the difference between a condensing and a non-condensing boiler?
Condensing boilers capture heat from exhaust gases that would otherwise be lost, achieving efficiency ratings of 90-98%. Non-condensing boilers typically operate at 80-85% efficiency. While condensing boilers cost more upfront, the energy savings often justify the investment.
20

Chilliwack, BC · Since 1969

The mountain on our wall.
The standard in our work.

Freshly painted across our Chilliwack shop, the mural is a new Fraser Valley landmark, and a fitting one. Local artist Jack Hendsbee brought the mountain to life, and it will feature in the Chilliwack Mural Festival. The peak has been our namesake since 1969, and it is the standard we bring to every install, service call, and 2 AM emergency. We back the local community the way it has backed us.
