Step-by-Step Guide to Requesting Service Online
Submitting an online service request with BC Wide is simple. Start by visiting our website and navigating to the service request page. Select the type of service you need, whether it is furnace repair, heat pump service, boiler repair, or water heater assistance. Provide your contact information including your name, phone number, email address, and the full address of the property needing service. Describe the problem you are experiencing in as much detail as possible, including any error codes, unusual sounds, or patterns you have noticed. Indicate your preferred appointment time and whether same-day service is needed. Review the information for accuracy and submit the form. Our dispatch team will review your request and contact you to confirm the appointment details.
Information to Have Ready Before You Submit
To ensure the fastest possible service when using our online request system, gather some basic information before you start. Know the type and brand of your heating or cooling system, whether it is a furnace, heat pump, boiler, or water heater. Note the approximate age of the system if you know it. Be prepared to describe the specific symptoms you are observing in clear terms, such as no heat at all, insufficient heat, strange noises, unusual smells, or frequent cycling on and off. If your system displays error codes, write them down. Knowing whether the problem affects your entire home or only specific areas helps the technician diagnose the issue more efficiently. Having your phone handy is also helpful, as our dispatcher may call to clarify details before scheduling the appointment.
What Happens After You Submit Your Online Request
Once your online service request is submitted, BC Wide's dispatch team reviews the information and prioritizes it based on urgency. For emergency situations like complete loss of heat during cold weather, you will receive a phone call within minutes to confirm your appointment. For less urgent requests, we typically respond within one to two hours during business hours. The dispatcher will confirm the appointment time, answer any questions you have, and provide information about what to expect when the technician arrives. You will also receive a confirmation email with the details of your appointment. If your situation changes after submitting the request, you can call our main line at (604) 330-3953 to speak with a dispatcher directly and update your request.
Safety Reminder
If you smell gas, suspect carbon monoxide or believe there is an immediate danger, leave the property and contact emergency services or the appropriate gas emergency authority. Do not remain inside — exit the building immediately and call for help from outside.
