Answer: Is HST Included in HVAC Repair Quotes in BC?
GST (5%) applies to both labour and parts. PST (7%) applies to parts only — repair labour is PST-exempt. New equipment installations may have different PST rules. All quotes should clearly show subtotals for parts and labour, GST on the total, and PST on parts only. Confirm whether quoted prices include taxes.
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.
