Heating the Oceanside
Parksville's climate is mild, dry in summer and wet in winter — ideal heat pump territory. It is also a community of many retirees and seasonal residents, where reliable heat and summer cooling matter for comfort and health. Waywest works throughout Parksville and French Creek from our Nanaimo shop, 30 minutes away.
What Parksville homes need
Heat pumps off baseboard heat. Older ranchers and townhomes on electric baseboards are strong candidates for ductless mini-splits or ducted heat pumps, with up to $4,000 plus the current bonus in rebates.
Propane and oil in rural areas. Errington, Coombs and Hilliers homes often heat with propane or oil. We service those systems under TSBC licence LGA0004592, and income-qualified households switching to a heat pump may receive up to $13,000.
Cooling for hot summers. Summer heat waves are a real health risk for older residents. Air conditioning or a heat pump with cooling keeps homes safe.
Seasonal home maintenance. WayWest HomeCare services equipment on a schedule, so it works when you come back.
Salt-air equipment. Waterfront outdoor units need regular coil cleaning to last.

Common questions
Can I get a heat pump rebate in Parksville?
Parksville homes replacing electric heat can receive up to $4,000 from BC Hydro for a whole-home heat pump or $1,500 for partial heating, plus a bonus of up to $1,000 if paid by October 31, 2026. Income-qualified homes switching from oil or propane may receive up to $13,000 through CleanBC.
Do you service propane furnaces near Parksville?
Yes. Waywest is TSBC licensed for gas work and services propane furnaces, boilers and water heaters in Errington, Coombs and rural Parksville, and can help plan a switch to a heat pump.
Do heat pumps near the ocean need extra maintenance?
Outdoor units close to salt air benefit from regular coil cleaning and inspection for corrosion. A WayWest HomeCare package keeps that on a schedule.
